In recent years, there has been considerable progress in determining the soil properties that
influence the structure of the soil microbiome. By contrast, the effects of microorganisms on …

Nowadays, the most significant consequence of climate change is drought stress. Drought is
one of the important, alarming, and hazardous abiotic stresses responsible for the …

Root-associated bacterial communities play a vital role in maintaining health of the plant
host. These communities exist in complex relationships, where composition and abundance …

Soil enzymes are central to ecosystem processes because they mediate numerous
reactions that are essential in biogeochemical cycles. However, how soil enzyme activities …

Plants growing in soil develop close associations with soil microorganisms, which inhabit
the areas around, on, and inside their roots. These microbial communities and their …

Extreme droughts, heat waves, frosts, precipitation, wind storms and other climate extremes
may impact the structure, composition and functioning of terrestrial ecosystems, and thus …

Root exudates comprise a large variety of compounds released by plants into the
rhizosphere, including low-molecular-weight primary metabolites (particularly saccharides …

Soil microbes are directly involved in soil organic carbon (SOC) decomposition, yet the
importance of microbial biodiversity in regulating the temperature sensitivity of SOC …

We review the evidence of how organisms and populations are currently responding to
climate change through phenotypic plasticity, genotypic evolution, changes in distribution …

Climate models project that precipitation patterns will likely intensify in the future, resulting in
increased duration of droughts and increased frequency of large soil rewetting events, which …
