Data centres have become controversial on Earth. Tech firms want to put them in orbit, but there are challenges ahead.

In this Review, Wood and colleagues discuss how anthropogenic pressures are degrading soil and sediment microbiomes, propose restoration strategies and emphasize the importance of integrating microbio...

Abstract. Soils are heterogeneous and dynamic systems characterized by complex physical, chemical, and biological interactions. Understanding these interac
