Soil and water salinity and associated problems are a major challenge for global food production.
Land-use intensification at the field and landscape scale is a strong driver for declining biodiversity and ecosystem service provision.
Recent perspective has highlighted the microbial importance of interplay between catabolic breakdown and anabolic synthesis in influencing soil organic carbon (SOC) dynamics and persistence.
Elucidating relationships between the soil food web, soil processes, and agroecosystem function is a critical step toward a more sustainable agriculture.
