Low temperature-mediated changes in soil free-living nitrogen fixation functional groups in tree species at different successional stages in subtropical forests
Late-successional trees have a relatively high growth rate at low temperature, which is important for their competitive advantage over mid-successional trees. However, we have a limited understanding of the un...

Rhizosphere-induced shift in the composition of bacterial community favors mineralization of crop residue nitrogen
In agricultural systems, residue amendment is an important practice for nutrient management, but the role of microbes in mineralization of crop residue nitrogen (N) is not well known. Therefore, this study aim...

Open AccessForest management required for consistent carbon sink in China’s forest plantations
Forest is the largest biomass carbon (C) pool in China, taking up a substantial amount of atmospheric carbon dioxide. Although it is well understood that planted forests (PFs) act as a large C sink, the contri...

Linking rhizospheric diazotrophs to the stimulation of soybean N2 fixation in a Mollisol amended with maize straw
Crop residue amendment is likely to stimulate symbiotic N2 fixation, and clarifying its effect on N2-fixing bacteria, i.e., diazotrophs in the rhizosphere of legume crops, is important for sustainable N managemen...

Adult plants facilitate their conspecific seedlings by enhancing arbuscular mycorrhizae in a saline soil
We tested the hypothesis that adult plants can help their conspecific (i.e. an organism belonging to the same species as another organism) seedlings develop symbiosis with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), t...
