Microbiomes play a critical role in environmental health by influencing nutrient cycling, ecosystem productivity, and soil fertility. They consist of diverse communities of microorganisms that interact with each other and their surroundings. For example, soil microbiomes help decompose organic matter, facilitating nutrient release for plants. Additionally, microbiomes can enhance plant health and resilience by providing protection against pathogens. Studying these communities can inform environmental management and restoration strategies to promote ecosystem stability and resilience.
