Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 14, Page 10009-10021, 30 August 2026.ABSTRACT The accelerating pace of urban expansion has profoundly reshaped urban–rural ecosystems, altering soil environments and impairing key ecological services. However, the combined impacts of urban expansion and atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition on soil multifunctionality—the capacity to sustain multiple ecological processes—remain poorly ...

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 14, Page 10324-10339, 30 August 2026.ABSTRACT Soil microbial communities are pivotal to forest ecosystem functions, yet the mechanisms shaping their assembly across complex environments remain poorly understood. This study examined bacterial and fungal communities within topsoil and subsoil under subtropical coniferous forest (CF), mixed conifer–broadleaf forest (MF), and broadleaf forest

Genome Biology and EvolutionAbstract The recently isolated bacterium “Candidatus Uabimicrobium amorphum” is the only known prokaryote that can engulf other bacterial cells. Its proteome contains a high fraction of proteins involved in signal transduction systems, which is a feature normally associated with multicellularity in eukaryotes.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.This study used eDNA metabarcoding to assess the impacts of copper contamination on freshwater wetlands, finding that microbial community structure varies significantly with metal concentration, over a temporal scale, and between microbial communities from unpolluted and polluted wetlands. We highlight seven bacterial families as possible indicators of

Journal of Chemical Technology &Biotechnology, Volume 101, Issue 8, Page 1632-1642, August 2026.Abstract BACKGROUND Landfill gas (LFG) and leachate are commonly treated separately through energy‐intensive processes. This study evaluated the integration of both streams in an anaerobic biotrickling filter (BTF) to achieve simultaneous methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2) removal coupled with ammonium (NH4+) transformation, and how the microbial ...

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 8, Page 2628-2641, August 2026.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Microplastics (MPs) are widespread in terrestrial ecosystems, raising global concerns that they may disrupt soil organic carbon (SOC) cycling and undermine agroecosystem contributions to climate mitigation.

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 8, August 2026.Microbial communities in a Mediterranean subterranean estuary show spatially structured nitrogen‐cycling potential across hydrochemical zones. Microbial properties, more than environmental variables, predict NO2− and NH4+ concentrations, highlighting their key role in controlling nitrogen transformations prior to submarine groundwater discharge ...

Geographic Variability of Fish Carcass–Associated Microbial Communities
Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 4, August 2026.When sardine carcasses (A) were deployed across seven Japanese tidal flats (B), both bacterial (D) and ciliophoran assemblages (C) varied substantially among sites. Yet, carcass‐associated shifts (blue) were overshadowed by regional variation (red), indicating that local species pools and environmental conditions—rather than carcass inputs alone ...

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 4, August 2026.Soil microbiomes from diverse Dubai environments were profiled using a high‐throughput sequencing approach. Distinct microbial signatures were identified across sites, enabling comparative taxonomic and diversity analyses. These microbial fingerprints demonstrate potential for forensic geolocation, supporting the use of soil microbiome profiling as a ...

Temperature and Ultraviolet Radiation Influence the Skin Microbiome of Humpback Whales
Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 15, August 2026.ABSTRACT The skin microbiome of humpback whales harbours diverse microbial communities that play a crucial role in host skin protection and environmental interaction. However, studies on cetacean skin microbiomes in the Southern Hemisphere focus on feeding grounds, with limited information on microbiome dynamics at breeding grounds and during migration
