We performed a systematic review of the scientific literature on the coastal lomas, and
discuss their origin, fog dependence, biodiversity patterns, and conservation. Coastal lomas …

The stability of soil microbial community plays a key role in nutrient cycling, soil organic
carbon reservoirs, and plant productivity, making them crucial players in agroecosystems …

Belowground organisms play critical roles in maintaining multiple ecosystem processes,
including plant productivity, decomposition, and nutrient cycling. Despite their importance …

The importance of soil age as an ecosystem driver across biomes remains largely
unresolved. By combining a cross-biome global field survey, including data for 32 soil, plant …

A key aspect of global forest management, woodland use intensity (WUI) greatly affects the
composition and diversity of soil microbial communities, thereby affecting multiple …

Accelerated marsh erosion caused by climate change and human activity may have
important implications for nutrient cycling and availability. However, how erosion affects …

Dryland covers> 35% of the terrestrial surface and the global extent of dryland increases
due to the forecasted increase in aridity driven by climate change. Due to the climate change …

Exotic plant invasion can alter native soil microbial community composition, and further
influence the biogeochemical processes. Little information is available about the impacts of …

Aims We explored the trends in soil fungal and bacterial patterns and their responses to
plant and soil characteristics with increasing site age in abandoned farmland in karst areas …

Precipitation changes among years and locations along gradients of mean annual
precipitation (MAP). The way those changes interact and affect populations of soil organisms …
