Agriculture alters protein evolution of nitrogen cycling genes in soil bacteria at a global scale

2025-05-07

Abstract excerpt

Humans are the world’s greatest evolutionary force. Yet, our impacts on the evolution of Earth’s microbiomes and their biogeochemical processes remain poorly understood. Notably, the overlooked potential for the intensive use of agricultural fertiliser to drive evolutionary changes in soil nutrient cycling genes warrants urgent attention. Here, analysing >2,500 soil metagenomes from across the globe, we identify i...
