Protist taxonomic and functional diversity in soil, freshwater and marine ecosystems
Protists dominate eukaryotic diversity and play key functional roles in all ecosystems,
particularly by catalyzing carbon and nutrient cycling. To date, however, a comparative …

Soil depth matters: shift in composition and inter-kingdom co-occurrence patterns of microorganisms in forest soils
Soil depth represents a strong physiochemical gradient that greatly affects soil-dwelling
microorganisms. Fungal communities are typically structured by soil depth, but how other …
