Bacterial necromass determines the response of mineral-associated organic matter to elevated CO2
Microorganisms regulate soil organic matter (SOM) formation through accumulation and decomposition of microbial necromass, which is directly and indirectly affected by elevated CO2 and N fertilization. We investi...

Microbial response on changing C:P stoichiometry in steppe soils of Northern Kazakhstan
The stoichiometric ratio of carbon (C): phosphorus (P) acquisition is strongly correlated with soil available C:P ratio. However how the stoichiometric relationship between acquiring C and P through microbial ...

Microplastics affect activity and spatial distribution of C, N, and P hydrolases in rice rhizosphere
Microplastics provide a new ecological niche for microorganisms, and the accumulation levels of microplastics (MPs) in terrestrial ecosystems are higher than those in marine ecosystems. Here, we applied the zy...

Characterization of the belowground microbial community and co-occurrence networks of tobacco plants infected with bacterial wilt disease
Characterizing the microbial communities associated with soil-borne disease incidence is a key approach in understanding the potential role of microbes in protecting crops from pathogens. In this study, we com...

Legacy effect of elevated CO2 and N fertilization on mineralization and retention of rice (Oryza sativa L.) rhizodeposit-C in paddy soil aggregates
Rhizodeposits in rice paddy soil are important in global C sequestration and cycling. This study explored the effects of elevated CO2 and N fertilization during the rice growing season on the subsequent mineraliz...

Nitrogen fertilization alters the distribution and fates of photosynthesized carbon in rice–soil systems: a 13C-CO2 pulse labeling study
Although nitrogen (N) fertilization is widely used to increase rice yield, its impact on the distribution, transformation, and fates of photosynthetic carbon (C) in rice–soil systems is poorly understood. To a...

Allocation of assimilated carbon in paddies depending on rice age, chase period and N fertilization: Experiment with 13CO2 labelling and literature synthesis
Quantification of total belowground carbon (C) input and allocation to various pools in rice–soil systems depending on plant age, chase period, and nitrogen (N) availability.

Belowground carbon allocation and dynamics under rice cultivation depends on soil organic matter content
The cycling of photosynthate carbon (C) released in the rhizosphere has significant implications for C sequestration, microbial activities, and nutrient availability in the soil. It is known that the soil orga...
