Summary
Soil bacteria and fungi are the basis of soil food webs and contribute to a wide range of essential soil functions in arable lands. Intense land use and climate change induced reductions in summer precipitation can have varying influences on abundance, composition, and activity of microbial communities with largely unknown consequences for soil functions and plant growth including crop yields. The impact of altered precipitation patterns on soil biodiversity and associated ecosystem functions is on top of the list of eight major research gaps identified by an expert group for the European Commission still, this relationship is rarely studied under field conditions.
