As abundant members of microbial communities, viruses impact microbial mortality, carbon
and nutrient cycling, and food web dynamics. Although most of our information about viral …

Rapidly thawing permafrost harbors∼ 30 to 50% of global soil carbon, and the fate of this
carbon remains unknown. Microorganisms will play a central role in its fate, and their viruses …

Viruses are key members of Earth's microbiomes, shaping microbial community composition
and metabolism. Here, we describe recent advances in'soil viromics', that is, virus-focused …

Viruses are extremely abundant and ubiquitous in soil, and significantly contribute to various
terrestrial ecosystem processes such as biogeochemical nutrient cycling, microbiome …

Historically neglected by microbial ecologists, soil viruses are now thought to be critical to
global biogeochemical cycles. However, our understanding of their global distribution …

Viruses are crucial in shaping soil microbial functions and ecosystems. However, studies on
soil viromes have been limited in both spatial scale and biome coverage. Here we present a …

Viruses, the most abundant life form on Earth, are key regulators of microbial cellular and
community properties. They can drive substantial microbial mortality (killing large …
