Soil protists: a fertile frontier in soil biology research
Protists include all eukaryotes except plants, fungi and animals. They are an essential, yet
often forgotten, component of the soil microbiome. Method developments have now …

Above‐ and belowground linkages in Sphagnum peatland: climate warming affects plant‐microbial interactions
VEJ Jassey, G Chiapusio, P Binet… - Global Change …, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
Peatlands contain approximately one third of all soil organic carbon (SOC). Warming can
alter above‐and belowground linkages that regulate soil organic carbon dynamics and C …
