Temperate tree microbiomes: divergent soil and phyllosphere microbial communities share few but dominant taxa
AimsThe phyllosphere and soil are crucial and distinct microbial spheres in forests, connected through trees that interact with both. As part of the...

Integrating microbial community properties, biomass and necromass to predict cropland soil organic carbon
Manipulating microorganisms to increase soil organic carbon (SOC) in croplands remains a challenge. Soil microbes are important drivers of SOC...
-
Altered soil microbial properties and functions after afforestation increase soil carbon and nitrogen but not phosphorus accumulation
Afforestation can substantially influence terrestrial carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and phosphors (P) stocks by changing soil microbial properties and...

Microbial remediation technology for heavy metal contamination of mine soil
The problem of persistent and potentially toxic heavy metal-contaminated soils is widespread worldwide. These heavy metal concentrations have...

Implications of Soil Microbial Community Assembly for Ecosystem Restoration: Patterns, Process, and Potential
While it is now widely accepted that microorganisms provide essential functions in restoration ecology, the nature of relationships between microbial...

Sterile sentinels and MinION sequencing capture active soil microbial communities that differentiate crop rotations
BackgroundSoil microbial communities are difficult to measure and critical to soil processes. The bulk soil microbiome is highly diverse and...

Effect of soil bioremediation on soil microbial community structure aimed at controlling tobacco bacterial wilt
AbstractRebuilding soil healthy microbiota is very important for preventing bacterial wilt. A 3-year-long field trial was conducted in China as...

Influence of Decomposed Stubble Return on the Soil Microbial Community Under Perennial Crop Rotation
The aim of this study was to understand how the application of decomposed stubble return (DSR), a type of bio-organic fertilization, affects soil...

Microbial Communities in Rhizosphere Microbiome for Sustainable Soil Health and Productivity
The microbiome, a collection of microorganisms in the soil environment, has recently become recognized as a key element of sustainable agriculture....
-
Nitrogen deposition mediates more stochastic processes in structuring plant community than soil microbial community in the Eurasian steppe
Anthropogenic environmental changes may affect community assembly through mediating both deterministic (e.g., competitive exclusion and environmental...

Effect of drought stress on symbiotic nitrogen fixation, soil nitrogen availability and soil microbial diversity in forage legumes
Background and aimsForage legumes form mutualistic interactions with specialized soil rhizobia bacteria that inhabit root nodules and fix atmospheric...
-
Effects of Detritus Treatments on Soil Microbial Community Composition, Structure and Nutrient Limitation in a Subtropical Karst Ecosystem
Detritus inputs and removal strongly influence soil carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (P) as well as soil microbial communities and resource...
-
The neglected role of micronutrients in predicting soil microbial structure
Predicting the distribution patterns of soil microbial communities requires consideration of more environmental drivers. The effects of soil...

Effects of Fractionation Methods on Soil Aggregate Microbial Community Composition: Settling vs. Wet Sieving
Soil microbial communities play a vital role in biogeochemical cycling and ecosystem functions at the aggregate scale. Soil fractionation methods can...
-
An Environmental DNA Primer for Microbial and Restoration Ecology
Environmental DNA (eDNA) sequencing—DNA collected from the environment from living cells or shed DNA—was first developed for working with microbes...

Microbial diversity loss and wheat genotype-triggered rhizosphere bacterial and protistan diversity constrain soil multifunctionality: Evidence from greenhouse experiment
PurposeAgricultural soil multifunctionality is greatly impacted by belowground processesdriven by a complex group of microorganisms that change...
-
Temperature fluctuation promotes the thermal adaptation of soil microbial respiration
The magnitude of the feedback between soil microbial respiration and increased mean temperature may decrease (a process called thermal adaptation) or...

Composition and diversity of soil microbial communities change by introducing Phallus impudicus into a Gastrodia elata Bl.-based soil
BackgroundThe Gastrodia elata Bl. is an orchid, and its growth demands the presence of Armillaria species. The strong competitiveness of Armillaria ...
