  "summary": "Anthropogenic climate change is driving increased temperature and altered precipitation patterns in tropical rainforests, yet the impact of severe drought on soil viral communities and their recovery capacity remains poorly understood. Soil viruses can exert strong controls on bacterial populations impacting microbially-mediated soil processes such as carbon cycling. At the same time, viruses are…",
