This study shows that low burn intensity increases N2O emissions through denitrification, while high burn intensity reduces emissions due to microbial loss and resource limitation.

The paper updates a viral sequence database to include only virus size-fractionated metagenome-derived sequences and presents new data on its utility.

ZipStrain enables rapid and precise strain-resolved metagenomics by analyzing 2,754 human samples to identify strain-sharing gradients and gene variation.

This study tracks viral succession and infection dynamics in soil viral communities after rewetting and phosphorus amendment, showing distinct responses in virion and transcriptionally active viral populations.

The paper examines viral biogeography in bulk and rhizosphere soils over a tomato growing season, finding that host community activity, not composition, drives viral distribution patterns.

This study examines soil viral communities in Mediterranean grasslands, finding that spatial factors dominate over temporal variation in shaping viral community structure.

The paper compares DNA extraction and virome processing methods to show how they affect the characterization of human gut viral communities, finding that MDA significantly biases results.

The paper examines how soil viral and prokaryotic communities respond to prescribed burns, finding that local burn severity drives heterogeneous responses.

This study examines how wildfire affects soil viral and prokaryotic communities in chaparral and woodland habitats, finding significant shifts in community composition and viral particle abundances.

The paper examines how soil viral and prokaryotic communities respond to heating, finding that most dsDNA viral particles do not persist at 90°C.

This study examines how extraction buffer chemistry affects extractable viral communities in different soil types, finding that spatial distance is the primary driver of community composition.
