Soil is a living ecosystem, the health of which depends on fine interactions among its abiotic
and biotic components. These form a delicate equilibrium maintained through a multilayer …

Anthropogenic climate change is increasing the incidence of climate extremes.
Consequences of climate extremes on biodiversity can be highly detrimental, yet few studies …

The life history strategies of soil microbes determine their metabolic potential and their
response to environmental changes. Yet these strategies remain poorly understood. Here …

Increasing demand for food and environmental stressors are some of the most challenging
problems that human societies face today and these have encouraged new studies to …

Soil microorganisms play a critical role in the biosphere, and the influence of cropland
fertilization on the evolution of soil as a living entity is being actively documented. In this …

Increasing extreme climatic events threaten the functioning of terrestrial ecosystems,.
Because soil microbes govern key biogeochemical processes, understanding their …

Understanding the relationship between fertilization and soil bacterial communities in a salt‐
affected environment is essential for alleviating the adverse impact of excessive salinity on …

Excessive nitrogen (N) fertilizer is often applied to soils to improve crop productivity, which
leads to a reduction in N efficiency and an increase in N loss to groundwater. To investigate …

Background and aims Extreme climate events, including flooding and prolonged drought,
may establish long-lasting (legacy) effects on soil abiotic and biotic properties, potentially …

Soils are crucial in regulating ecosystem processes, such as nutrient cycling, and supporting
plant growth. To a large extent, these functions are carried out by highly diverse and …
