Soil respiration, microbial biomass, and stoichiometry within riparian buffers and adjacent land use
Scientific ReportsTerrestrial ecosystems exhibit varied land uses as a result of both anthropogenic activities and natural processes. These variations in land use alter plant composition, soil characteristics, topography, and management practices, and hence lead to ...

How much grassland do we need?
Grassland Research, EarlyView.A scaling analysis of global planted grassland area vs. country size. Abstract The United Nations has designated 2026 as the International Year of Rangelands and Pastoralists, drawing attention to the importance of grasslands and the communities that rely on them. Rangelands cover 54% of Earth's land surface, including grasslands, savannas, shrublands,

Host‐specific and deterministic microbiome assembly in major coleopteran stored‐grain pests
iMetaOmics, EarlyView.Dual DNA‐ and RNA‐based sequencing profiled the microbiomes of five major coleopteran stored‐grain pests and their wheat flour substrate. The microbiomes differed significantly among hosts and from flour, yet 11 core bacterial and 9 core fungal taxa were shared across hosts. RNA data revealed host‐specific active microbiota.
