Wetlands are crucial nodes in the carbon cycle, emitting approximately 20% of global CH4
while also sequestering 20%–30% of all soil carbon. Both greenhouse gas fluxes and …

Soil degradation is widespread in smallholder agrarian communities across the globe where
limited resource farmers struggle to overcome poverty and malnutrition. This review lays out …

Background Linking the identity of wild microbes with their ecophysiological traits and
environmental functions is a key ambition for microbial ecologists. Of many techniques that …

Soil carbon feedbacks to global change are uncertain, and the biological processes that
govern soil organic matter decomposition are not resolved in current ecosystem models …

The trait-based strategies of microorganisms appear to be phylogenetically conserved, but
acclimation to climate change may complicate the scenario. To study the roles of phylogeny …

Soil microbiomes are highly diverse, and to improve their representation in biogeochemical
models, microbial genome data can be leveraged to infer key functional traits. By integrating …

Climate warming is causing widespread deglaciation and pioneer soil formation over glacial
deposits. Melting glaciers expose rocky terrain and glacial till sediment that is relatively low …

Soil microbial immobilization of nitrate (NO 3−-N, I NO3) and its role in mitigating NO 3−-N
pollution in agricultural ecosystems globally is often neglected because of the tenet that …

Soil carbon (C) mineralization varies with vegetation restoration and plays an essential role
in the soil C cycle. However, the response of soil C mineralization to different vegetation …

Soil microbiomes are sensitive to current and previous soil conditions, and bacterial
'bioindicators' of biological, physical, and chemical soil properties have considerable …
