Communities of soil microorganisms (soil microbiomes) play a major role in biogeochemical
cycles and support of plant growth. Here we focus primarily on the roles that the soil …

Background One promise of the recently presented microbiome definition suggested that, in
combination with unifying concepts and standards, microbiome research could be important …

Background Peatlands are expected to experience sustained yet fluctuating higher
temperatures due to climate change, leading to increased microbial activity and greenhouse …

The plant root-associated microbiomes, including both the rhizosphere and the root
endosphere microbial community, are considered as a critical extension of the plant …

Long‐term carbon and nitrogen dynamics in peatlands are affected by both vegetation
production and decomposition processes. Here, we examined the carbon accumulation rate …

Interactions between Sphagnum (peat moss) and cyanobacteria play critical roles in
terrestrial carbon and nitrogen cycling processes. Knowledge of the metabolites exchanged …

Aim Soil nitrogen (N) cycling is critical to the productivity of terrestrial ecosystems. However,
the impact of global change factors (GCFs) on the microbial mediators of N cycling pathways …

Plastic pollution is among the most urgent environmental and social challenges of the 21st
century, and their influxes in the environment have altered critical growth drivers in all …

Peat mosses of the genus Sphagnum are ecosystem engineers that frequently predominate
over photosynthetic production in boreal peatlands. Sphagnum spp. host diverse microbial …

Peatlands play a crucial role in the global carbon cycle. Sphagnum mosses (peat mosses)
are considered to be the peatland ecosystem engineers and contribute to the carbon …
