Abstract
Anthropogenic global warming is closing to the red line of the irreversible impacts on climate change. Soil microorganisms have multiple functions with great potential for greenhouse gas mitigation; however, these technologies have not been effectively applied on a large scale. This minireview aimed to awaken people’s awareness of the importance of soil microorganisms in greenhouse gas mitigation. In this paper, we introduced the current statute of global warming and reviewed recent highlights in microbe-based solutions to reduce nitrous oxide and methane emissions. In addition, we discussed the effects of soil management strategy on carbon sequestration in soil. Finally, we presented some novel approaches to the greenhouse gas mitigation and our vision for the development of new biotechnologies to further unlock the microbial ability of greenhouse gas mitigation. This minireview is also a call for immediate and decisive emergency action to curb global warming.
