Towards meaningful scales in ecosystem microbiome research
TL;DR: The importance of scale in environmental microbiology assessments is discussed and how patterning ecology can be redirected towards advancing concept and theory formation in ecosystem microbiome research is considered.
Microbes orchestrate life on Earth
TL;DR: The ISME Journal and Nature Reviews Microbiology have joined forces to provide a joint focus on the importance of micro organisms in climatic processes and research that aims to harness the capabilities of microorganisms to provide new energy sources.

TL;DR: It is suggested that alterations in resource stoichiometry can change the community resistance to invasions by having disproportionate effects on species growth, potentially explaining changes in microbial community composition under eutrophication.
