Microbes without borders: uniting societies for climate action Open
The climate crisis is one of the greatest challenges of our time, yet the role of microorganisms remains underrecognised in climate science and policy. Microbes are highly sensitive to environmental change and regulate essential biogeochem…

Multi-omics of a model bacterial consortium deciphers details of chitin decomposition in soil Open
Soil microorganisms interact to carry out decomposition of complex organic carbon and nitrogen compounds, such as chitin, but the high diversity and complexity of the soil microbiome and habitat have posed a challenge to elucidating such i…

Safeguarding microbial biodiversity: microbial conservation specialist group within the species survival commission of the International Union for Conservation of Nature Open
As the first and dominant life forms on the planet, microorganisms underpin all ecological and organismal systems that drive planetary functioning, ecosystem health, and human wellbeing. Microbial communities are affected by anthropogenic …

Charting a path for microbial conservation in the IUCN: report on “Conservation in a Microbial World” meeting in San Diego, CA, May 2025 Open
In May 2025, the “Conservation in a Microbial World” conference was hosted at UC San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography to address the lack of microbial representation in international conservation frameworks (i.e. International U…

Soil microbiome interventions for carbon sequestration and climate mitigation Open
Mitigating climate change in soil ecosystems involves complex plant and microbial processes regulating carbon pools and flows. Here, we advocate for the use of soil microbiome interventions to help increase soil carbon stocks and curb gree…

A global atlas of soil viruses reveals unexplored biodiversity and potential biogeochemical impacts Open
Historically neglected by microbial ecologists, soil viruses are now thought to be critical to global biogeochemical cycles. However, our understanding of their global distribution, activities and interactions with the soil microbiome rema…

Soil microbial strategies for climate mitigation—report from a climate action workshop in Las Vegas, Nevada, February 2024 Open
Life on Earth faces an existential crisis due to the enduring repercussions of unsustainable human activities since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution. Among the most pressing issues are greenhouse gas emissions, primarily from fos…

Strategies, Research Priorities, and Challenges for the Exploration of Space Beyond Low Earth Orbit Open
NASA's recent emphasis on human exploration of the Moon and, ultimately, Mars necessitates a transition from a focus of its research in the biological sciences from Low Earth Orbit (LEO) to platforms beyond LEO. Fundamental research questi…

Hi-C metagenome sequencing reveals soil phage–host interactions Open
Bacteriophages are abundant in soils. However, the majority are uncharacterized, and their hosts are unknown. Here, we apply high-throughput chromosome conformation capture (Hi–C) to directly capture phage-host relationships. Some hosts ha…

Real-Time and Rapid Respiratory Response of the Soil Microbiome to Moisture Shifts Open
Microbial response to changing environmental factors influences the fate of soil organic carbon, and drought has been shown to affect microbial metabolism and respiration. We hypothesized that the access of microbes to different carbon poo…

Influence of soil depth, irrigation, and plant genotype on the soil microbiome, metaphenome, and carbon chemistry Open
Climate change is causing an increase in drought in many soil ecosystems and a loss of soil organic carbon. Calcareous soils may partially mitigate these losses via carbon capture and storage. Here, we aimed to determine how irrigation-sup…

Fungal organic acid uptake of mineral-derived K is dependent on distance from carbon hotspot Open
Fungal mineral weathering regulates the bioavailability of inorganic nutrients from mineral surfaces to organic matter and increase the bioavailable fraction of nutrients. Such weathering strategies are classified as biomechanical or bioch…

Interactive effects of depth and differential irrigation on soil microbiome composition and functioning Open
Two factors that are well-known to influence soil microbiomes are the depth of the soil as well as the level of moisture. Previous works have demonstrated that climate change will increase the incidence of drought in soils, but it is unkno…
