Biogeographical patterns of the soil fungal:bacterial ratio across France
Soils are one of the major reservoirs of biological diversity on our planet because they host a huge richness of microorganisms. The fungal:bacterial (F:B) ratio targets two major functional groups of organisms in soils and can improve our understanding ...

Life in a Droplet: Microbial Ecology in Microscopic Surface Wetness
While many natural and artificial surfaces may appear dry, they are in fact covered by thin liquid films and microdroplets invisible to the naked eye known as microscopic surface wetness (MSW).
