ICYMI: New online! Agricultural intensification, microbial homogenization and loss of rare microbiota
Nature Reviews Microbiology, Published online: 26 May 2026; doi:10.1038/s41579-026-01315-wIn this Perspective, Banerjee, Dasgupta and van der Heijden discuss how intensive agricultural practices can lead to the taxonomic, physiological, genetic and functional homogenization of microbial communities and disproportionately affect rare microbiota.
