Unveiling the ecological processes driving soil and lichen microbiome assembly along an urbanization gradient

Global biodiversity loss is accelerating due to the transformation of natural landscapes into agricultural and urban areas. Yet, research on the urbanization impact on environmental and host-associated microbiomes, particularly on the ecological processes that mediate their assembly and function, remains scarce.
