Soil viruses are highly abundant and have important roles in the regulation of host dynamics
and soil ecology. Climate change is resulting in unprecedented changes to soil ecosystems …

The soil microbiome governs biogeochemical cycling of macronutrients, micronutrients and
other elements vital for the growth of plants and animal life. Understanding and predicting …

While soil erosion drives land degradation, the impact of erosion on soil microbial
communities and multiple soil functions remains unclear. This hinders our ability to assess …

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 …

Bacteriophages are abundant in soils. However, the majority are uncharacterized, and their
hosts are unknown. Here, we apply high-throughput chromosome conformation capture (Hi …

Quantifying the impact of drought on microbial processes and its consequences for soil
carbon cycling is hindered by the lack of underlying mechanistic understanding. Therefore …

Microorganisms play vital roles in modulating organic matter decomposition and nutrient
cycling in soil ecosystems. The enzyme latch paradigm posits microbial degradation of …

Rewetting dry soils is associated with a burst of microbial activity and mineralization, which
manifests itself as a pulse in soil CO 2 emissions, long-known as the Birch effect. In arid and …

Soil is known to harbor viruses, but the majority are uncharacterized and their responses to
environmental changes are unknown. Here, we used a multi-omics approach …

Soil viruses are abundant, but the influence of the environment and climate on soil viruses
remains poorly understood. Here, we addressed this gap by comparing the diversity …
