This journal focuses on the study of microbial communities across diverse environments, including soil, plants, aquatic ecosystems, and extreme habitats. Research investigates the composition, function, and assembly mechanisms of these microbiomes, with a particular emphasis on their interactions with hosts and environments. Topics include plant-microbe symbioses, the role of microbes in nutrient cycling and carbon sequestration, and the impact of environmental factors and human activities on microbial communities.
