Concepts

The cycling of chemical elements between living organisms and the physical environment, particularly carbon and nitrogen cycles

Genomic bins reconstructed from metagenomic sequencing data representing individual microbial taxa

The interplay of belowground, microsite-scale biological, physical, and chemical processes that intersect to drive whole-ecosystem functioning

Transfer of genetic material between organisms through mechanisms other than vertical inheritance

DNA sequences that can move or be transferred between different positions within genomes or between genomes

Clustered viral sequences representing distinct viral taxa based on genomic similarity thresholds
