Anthropogenic nutrient enrichment and plant diversity loss reshape soil biodiversity, yet disentangling their individual and combined effects on key groups such as fungi and protists remains a major challenge. Here, we investigated soil microeukaryote communities using long‐read amplicon rRNA gene sequencing in a temperate grassland experiment with 11 years of moderate NPK fertilization and manipulated plant diversity (1, 2, o...

Disease suppressiveness is a complex phenomenon that is assumed to be the resultant of the actions of local microbial antagonists. Exploitation of disease suppressiveness as a tool to manage pathogens is hindered by our poor understanding of this phenomenon. Here we investigated soil microbiome‐based suppression of potato cyst nematodes (PCN), and to this end, four apparently homogeneous potato fields with an unexplained non‐h...

Surface water inhabiting crayfish are well-known for the impact on their surroundings. This impact has been related to loss of biodiversity and deteriorating water quality for invasive crayfish. Crayfish dig burrows for various reasons like lack of natural shelters, avoiding an upcoming drought, or high crayfish density and this may lead to increased sediment transport and accelerated bank instability. All crayfish are conside...
