Soil bacterial, fungal, and protistan assembly processes across a 1300 km climate and land-use transect Soil microbial diversity is crucial to ecosystem functioning, yet it is increasingly threatened by the climate change and intensified land use. While …

Are you curious about the whether soil microbial distribution is predictable?🤔

The key takeaway:
Bacteria 🦠→ predictable! 😊
Fungi & Protists 🍄💧 → harder to predict 😭
