Responses of soil nutrients and microbial communities to the application of spent mushroom substrates
Background and aimsSpent mushroom substrates (SMSs) are widely used as organic fertilizer due to their high nutrients. However, the contribution of...
-
Divergent mineralization of exogenous organic substrates and their priming effects depending on soil types
The priming effect (PE) induced by exogenous organic substrate input plays an important role in the soil carbon balance. However, little is known...

Differences in soil microbial communities with successional stage depend on vegetation coverage and soil substrates in alpine desert shrublands
Background and aimsIn semiarid ecosystems, changes in plant communities are promoted under shrub canopies during restoration, but the link between...

Relative increases in CH4 and CO2 emissions from wetlands under global warming dependent on soil carbon substrates
Compelling evidence has shown that wetland methane emissions are more temperature dependent than carbon dioxide emissions across diverse hydrologic...

Investigation of the effects of different substrates on the promotion of the soil microbial consortium, encompassing bacteria and fungi, in the bioremediation of decabromodiphenyl ether (BDE-209)
Decabromodiphenyl ether (BDE-209) is recognized as an emerging and hazardous pollutant in numerous ecosystems. Despite this, only a few studies have...

Water’s path from moss to soil Vol. 2: how soil-moss combinations affect soil water fluxes and soil loss in a temperate forest
Mosses are key components of many ecosystems and particularly related to water cycling. In principle, the importance of mosses for water-related...

Evaluating the properties of deinking paper sludge from the Mediterranean area for recycling in local areas as a soil amendment and to enhance growth substrates
Recycling of paper generates large quantities of paper sludge that is rich in organic matter and can be exploited to counteract organic matter loss...
-
Development of soil-less substrates capable of degrading organic nitrogen into nitrate as in natural soils
Soil-less substrates are unable to catalyse nitrification because the addition of a high concentration of organic substances suppresses...
-
Effects of soil properties and carbon substrates on bacterial diversity of two sunflower farms
The sustainable production of sunflower ( Helianthus annuus ) is crucial and one way to accomplish this feat is to have an understanding of the...

Quantifying the Respiratory Pattern of Rhizosphere Microbial Communities in Healthy and Diseased Tomato Plants Using Carbon Substrates
The sustainable production of tomatoes ( Solanum lycopersicum ) is important, and this can be achieved by determining the rate of respiration of...
-
Allelotoxicity of Greenhouse Substrates after Vegetable Cultivation
AbstractCrop exposure to stress during cultivation is known to reduce the yield and to cause the release of allelotoxins from plants into soil. It...

Replacing traditional nursery soil with spent mushroom substrate improves rice seedling quality and soil substrate properties
Currently, large quantities of spent mushroom substrate (SMS) are produced annually. Because SMS has high water retention and nutrients, it has great...
-
Using crushed waste bricks for urban greening with contrasting grassland mixtures: no negative effects of brick-augmented substrates varying in soil type, moisture and acid pre-treatment
Ecological restoration aims at supporting biodiversity and ecosystem services, and urban greening is a great opportunity to achieve this goal. This...
