Soil microbiome effects on quantitative floral traits of the annual plant Mimulus guttatus

This study investigates how soil microbiomes influence flowering traits in Mimulus guttatus, finding that plant genotype primarily drives flowering traits rather than the microbiome.

Soil microbial inoculants augment fertilizer performance across contrasting cropping systems in Rwanda

This study shows that multi-species microbial inoculants enhance crop yields in Rwanda when combined with fertilizers, but not as effectively as fertilizers alone.

Microbial community regulation of extracellular enzyme production can mediate patterns of particulate and mineral-associated organic matter accumulation in undersaturated soils

The paper models microbial enzyme production and its impact on organic matter storage in soils, showing that social dynamics among microbes influence POM and MAOM formation.

Ammonia-oxidizing archaea and bacteria differentially contribute to ammonia oxidation in soil under precipitation gradients and land legacy

The paper investigates how precipitation gradients and land use legacies affect ammonia-oxidizing archaea and bacteria in soil, identifying differences in their functional potentials and survival strategies.
