Understanding the effects of plastic pollution in terrestrial ecosystems is a priority in
environmental research. A central aspect of this suite of pollutants is that it entails particles …

Soil-borne pathogens pose a major threat to food production worldwide, particularly under
global change and with growing populations. Yet, we still know very little about how the soil …

Bacterial gene repertoires reflect adaptive strategies, contribute to ecosystem functioning
and are limited by genome size. However, gene functional diversity does not necessarily …

Soil acidification induced by reactive nitrogen (N) inputs can alter the structure and function
of terrestrial ecosystems. Because different N‐transformation processes contribute to the …

Microbial carbon (C) use efficiency (CUE) delineates the proportion of organic C used by
microorganisms for anabolism and ultimately influences the amount of C sequestered in …

Soil microbial growth, a vital biogeochemical process, governs both the accrual and loss of
soil carbon. Here, we investigate the biogeography of soil microbiome potential growth rates …

Understanding the mechanisms structuring soil bacterial diversity has critical implications to
advance the parametrization of species distribution models. This forum article discusses …

This study investigated the diffusion and enrichment of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs)
and pathogens via the transmission chain (mulberry leaves-silkworm guts-silkworm feces …

Introduction Continuous cropping affected the stability of soil enzyme activity and the
structural characteristics of microbial community. Owing to challenges in the study of …

Roof-harvested rainwater stored for potable and nonpotable usages represent a clean and
sustainable water supply resource. However, the microbial dynamics and mechanisms of …
