The application of organic matter to agricultural land is an efficient way to maintain soil eco-
sustainability through the mediation of the soil-dwelling microbiome. Despite their important …

Soil management is fundamental to all agricultural systems and fertilization practices have
contributed substantially to the impressive increases in food production. Despite the pivotal …

The ability of soil microorganisms to uphold a variety of ecosystem services is of increasing
interest, but our understanding of the linkage between cropland ecosystem services and the …

The soil microbiome determines crop production and drives nutrient cycling, functions that
are altered by fertilization. Yet, we have only begun to understand the effects of fertilization …

Nutrient availability and plant diversity are two important factors determining crop
productivity in agricultural ecosystems, but little is known about the underlying mechanisms …

Soil microbiota are critical to soil health, yet a substantial knowledge gap remains to
understand how microbial communities can be interpreted as soil health parameters and …

Fertilization has a large impact on the soil microbial communities, which play pivotal roles in
soil biogeochemical cycling and ecological processes. While the effects of changes in …

Natural ecosystems comprise the planet's wild plant and animal resources, but large tracts of
land have been converted to agroecosystems to support the demand for agricultural …

Background Agricultural food production is at the base of food and fodder, with fertilization
having fundamentally and continuously increased crop yield over the last decades. The …

Background and aims Soil microbial communities influence nutrient cycling, chemistry and
structure of soil, and plant productivity. In turn, agronomic practices such as fertilization and …
