The aboveground parts of terrestrial plants are colonized by a variety of microbes that
collectively constitute the phyllosphere microbiota. Decades of pioneering work using …

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 …

Pteris vittata is an arsenic (As)-hyperaccumulator that may be employed in phytoremediation
of As-contaminated soils. P. vittata-associated microbiome are adapted to elevated As and …

Virophages are small dsDNA viruses that hijack the machinery of giant viruses during the co-
infection of a protist (ie, microeukaryotic) host and represent an exceptional case of …

Forest swamp ecosystems plays crucial role in the global carbon cycle. However, the effects
of forest swamp succession on soil organic matter (SOM) and microbial community structure …

Peat mosses (Sphagnum spp.) are keystone species in boreal peatlands, where they
dominate net primary productivity and facilitate the accumulation of carbon in thick peat …

Peatlands store one‐third of the Earth's carbon. Human activities and climate change‐
induced peatland vegetation shift from Sphagnum to shrub may lead to peatland …

With rising global temperatures, permafrost carbon stores are vulnerable to microbial
degradation. The enzyme latch theory states that polyphenols should accumulate in …

The growing understanding that soil bacteria play a critical role in ecosystem servicing has
led to a number of large-scale biogeographical surveys of soil microbial diversity. However …

Abstract Background and Aims Sphagnum (peatmoss) comprises a moss (Bryophyta) clade
with~ 300–500 species. The genus has unparalleled ecological importance because …
