Open AccessLand conversion to agriculture induces taxonomic homogenization of soil microbial communities globally
Agriculture contributes to a decline in local species diversity and to above- and below-ground biotic homogenization. Here, we conduct a continental survey using 1185 soil samples and compare microbial communi...

Open AccessA tripartite bacterial-fungal-plant symbiosis in the mycorrhiza-shaped microbiome drives plant growth and mycorrhization
Plant microbiomes play crucial roles in nutrient cycling and plant growth, and are shaped by a complex interplay between plants, microbes, and the environment. The role of bacteria as mediators of the 400-mill...

Open AccessBiotic homogenization, lower soil fungal diversity and fewer rare taxa in arable soils across Europe
Soil fungi are a key constituent of global biodiversity and play a pivotal role in agroecosystems. How arable farming affects soil fungal biogeography and whether it has a disproportional impact on rare taxa i...

Open AccessSoil microbiome indicators can predict crop growth response to large-scale inoculation with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi
Alternative solutions to mineral fertilizers and pesticides that reduce the environmental impact of agriculture are urgently needed. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) can enhance plant nutrient uptake and red...

Open AccessA symbiotic footprint in the plant root microbiome
A major aim in plant microbiome research is determining the drivers of plant-associated microbial communities. While soil characteristics and host plant identity present key drivers of root microbiome composit...

Article
Open AccessPatterns in soil microbial diversity across Europe
Factors driving microbial community composition and diversity are well established but the relationship with microbial functioning is poorly understood, especially at large scales. We analysed microbial biodiv...

Open AccessIncreasing the number of stressors reduces soil ecosystem services worldwide
Increasing the number of environmental stressors could decrease ecosystem functioning in soils. Yet this relationship has not been globally assessed outside laboratory experiments. Here, using two independent ...

Open AccessSoil contamination in nearby natural areas mirrors that in urban greenspaces worldwide
Soil contamination is one of the main threats to ecosystem health and sustainability. Yet little is known about the extent to which soil contaminants differ between urban greenspaces and natural ecosystems. He...

Open AccessMycorrhiza-mediated recruitment of complete denitrifying Pseudomonas reduces N2O emissions from soil
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are key soil organisms and their extensive hyphae create a unique hyphosphere associated with microbes actively involved in N cycling. However, the underlying mechanisms how ...

Soil microbiomes and one health
The concept of one health highlights that human health is not isolated but connected to the health of animals, plants and environments. In this Review, we demonstrate that soils are a cornerstone of one health...

Contrasting Responses of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungal Families to Simulated Climate Warming and Drying in a Semiarid Shrubland
We carried out a 4-year manipulative field experiment in a semiarid shrubland in southeastern Spain to assess the impacts of experimental warming (W), rainfall reduction (RR), and their combination (W + RR) on...

Article
Agricultural management and pesticide use reduce the functioning of beneficial plant symbionts
Phosphorus (P) acquisition is key for plant growth. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) help plants acquire P from soil. Understanding which factors drive AMF-supported nutrient uptake is essential to develop m...

Phylotype diversity within soil fungal functional groups drives ecosystem stability
Soil fungi are fundamental to plant productivity, yet their influence on the temporal stability of global terrestrial ecosystems, and their capacity to buffer plant productivity against extreme drought events,...

Open AccessLand-use intensification differentially affects bacterial, fungal and protist communities and decreases microbiome network complexity
Soil microbial communities are major drivers of cycling of soil nutrients that sustain plant growth and productivity. Yet, a holistic understanding of the impact of land-use intensification on the soil microbi...

Open AccessAncient lineages of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi provide little plant benefit
Almost all land plants form symbiotic associations with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). Individual plants usually are colonized by a wide range of phylogenetically diverse AMF species. The impact that diff...

A coumarin exudation pathway mitigates arbuscular mycorrhizal incompatibility in Arabidopsis thaliana
Overexpression of genes involved in coumarin production and secretion can mitigate mycorrhizal incompatibility in nonhost Arabidopsis plants. The coumarin scopoletin, in particular, stimulates pre-penetration ...
