The input of fresh organic matter, and the induced priming effect (PE), has long been recognized as a critical regulator of ...

Soils release approximately 40–60 petagrams (Pg) of carbon annually into the atmosphere through microbial metabolism. Climate warming is projected to further enhance soil microbial respiration, ...

This illustration shows how elevation and nutrient variations along Shergyla Mountain influence soil microbial communities. While habitat generalists exhibit broad niche adaptation and are shaped by ...

In a 150-day microcosm experiment, simulated acid rain increased the persistence of Escherichia coli O157:H7 and triggered rapid genetic and phenotypic adaptation. The stress destabilized native ...
