The distribution of plants with different photosynthetic pathways is strongly structured by climate, with C3 plants favoured in cooler temperate regions and C4 plants in hotter, high-light conditions. The relative abundance of C3 and C4 plants across the world has cascading impacts on local food webs, decomposition, pr...

Soil nematodes play key roles in regulating organic matter decomposition, nutrient cycling and trophic interactions in the soil ecosystem, and are very useful bioindicators of soil condition and soil health. But to characterise them, we need reliable measurements of nematode biodiversity in soils. DNA-based techniques...

Drought and warming can disrupt soil microbial processes and ecosystem functioning. Although soil microorganisms can exhibit physiological adjustments to drought, it remains unclear how they allocate resources between extracellular resource acquisition, potential oxidative metabolism, and carbon storage during drought...
