This study shows that liming Amazonian pasture soils increases methane uptake by promoting low-affinity methane oxidation by type I and II methanotrophs.

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.

The paper expands the global RNA virome by five-fold, identifying new clades of RNA bacteriophages and revealing novel virus-host interactions.
