Mineral-associated organic matter (MAOM) contributes to soil carbon (C) persistence but also includes a fraction susceptible to mobilization, partly d…

Marker-gene microbiome surveys systematically under-sample rare taxa, causing alpha diversity metrics to reflect dominance rather than true richness. This conceptual mismatch can lead to misleading e...

Short-term flooding is forecasted to increase in frequency and duration in temperate ecosystems, dramatically altering soil habitats for microbial com…
