Soil carbon (C) storage is a critical ecosystem function that underpins human health and
well-being. The acceleration of human-driven land use change, such as agricultural …

Soil protists play an essential role in shaping microbial community structure and soil nutrient
cycling. However, our understanding of land use effects on soil protists and their functions in …

Understanding the spatial distribution and mechanisms driving soil organic carbon (SOC) is
crucial for assessing soil carbon stocks and implementing effective carbon sequestration …

The impact of environmental pollution in air and water is reflected mainly in the soil
ecosystem as it impairs soil functions. Also, since the soil is the habitat for billions of …

Soil microbial communities play a crucial role in the accumulation and stabilization of soil
organic carbon (SOC) through complex processes involving plant residue transformation …

Soil microbial diversity mediates a wide range of key processes and ecosystem services
influencing planetary health. Our knowledge of microbial biogeography patterns, spatial …

Rainfall events in arid and semi-arid regions lead to the formation of a physical crust on the
soil surface, and such crusts have significant implications for soil hydrological processes …

Conversion from natural lands to cropland, primarily driven by agricultural expansion, could
significantly alter soil microbiome worldwide; however, influences of forest-to-cropland …

Soil parent material is the second most influential factor in pedogenesis, influencing soil
properties and microbial communities. Different assembly processes shape diverse …

Purpose Microbial community composition in soil is shaped by land uses. In this study, we
aimed to investigate the influences of land uses on functional gene profiles. Methods The …
