This study examines how anthropogenic nitrogen deposition affects microbial communities and soil organic matter (SOM) molecular composition during root decomposition.

The paper characterizes microbial succession and niche differentiation across landfill depth and age, revealing patterns linked to landfill life cycle phases and implications for management.

The paper shows that increased nitrogen deposition boosts soil carbon storage, but this effect is quickly reversed when nitrogen input stops.

The paper compiles a global soil virus dataset to assess biodiversity and biogeochemical impacts, finding most viral diversity remains unexplored and viruses may influence carbon and nutrient cycling.

This study examines how root exudates and rhizosphere microbial communities vary across carrot genotypes, revealing genotype-specific effects on microbial recruitment and soil metabolite composition.
