Special Issue Information
This Special Issue aims to understand the structure and function of soil microbial ecosystems, elucidating how soil environmental factors (such as soil physicochemical properties, nutrients and pollutants) influence the composition, diversity, and activity of the microbial community, and how microorganisms subsequently regulate soil health and ecosystem services. This research will enable the conservation of soil resources and the maintenance of ecological balance, and aid in guiding sustainable agriculture and addressing the challenge of global climate change.
