This study reconstructs RNA viruses in soil metatranscriptomes, revealing their diversity, activity, and role in carbon cycling through host cell death.

This study investigates how redox fluctuations affect iron and carbon cycling in tropical soils through controlled incubation experiments.

This study identifies Alphaproteobacteria as the primary diazotrophs in a Sphagnum peatland, dominated by Mo-based nitrogenase, with activity influenced by light, O2, and CO2.

The paper uses metagenomics to analyze microbial partitioning in hypersaline microbial mats, revealing genetic and functional diversity among microbial strains.

The paper investigates how microbial communities assemble on different soil minerals in the rhizosphere and finds that dispersal limitation and microbial growth capacity shape these communities.
