TL;DR: Soil bacterial community composition and diversity of the six analyzed management types showed significant differences between the land use types grassland and forest, and bacterial community structure was largely driven by tree species and soil pH.

TL;DR: It appeared that lower land use intensity results in higher bacterial diversity, as the estimated bacterial diversity was higher in the A horizons than in the corresponding B horizons, and was positively correlated with the organic carbon content, the total nitrogen content, and the C-to-N ratio.

TL;DR: An expert system approach to estimate wetland and peatland areas, depths and volumes that suggests large biases in current understanding of the distribution, area and volumes of tropical peat and their continental contributions are suggested.

TL;DR: Insight is provided into the evolutionarily conserved composition and structure of the metazoan spliceosome, as well as its compositional dynamics during catalytic activation.

TL;DR: After accounting for heterogeneity resulting from large scale differences among sampling locations and land-use types, soil properties still explain significant proportions of variation in fungal and soil fauna abundance or diversity, but soil biota was also related to processes that act at larger spatial scales and bacteria or soil yeasts only showed weak relationships to soil properties.
