Biochar (BC) addition is widely used in agriculture to condition soils. However, the effects of
BC addition on soil microbial community diversity and composition in karstic regions are …

Background: Vegetation restoration influences soil properties considerably, which in turn
interact with microbial community structure and regulate ecosystem stability. However, the …

Soil bacteria play an important role in regulating the process of vegetation restoration in
karst ecosystems. However, the effects of vegetation restoration for different cultivated …

To reveal the effect of the interactions between soil depth and different land use types on soil
nutrients and soil bacterial communities in a karst area, fifty soil samples from five different …

Soil microbial biomass acts as both a source and sink of organic carbon and available
nutrients, consequently affecting plant growth and production. However, our understanding …

Bacteria play an important role as decomposers in karst ecosystems, which can be
associated with karst soil and plants, promoting the cycling of nutrients between plants and …

Microbiological and physical-chemical characteristics of subtropical forest, grassland and
cropfield soils from the karst areas of Southwest China were investigated. The study …

Soil bacteria are closely related to soil environmental factors, and their community structure
is an important indicator of ecosystem health and sustainability. A large number of artificial …

Abstract Structure and assembly processes of soil bacterial communities under different land
use at karst areas remained poorly understood to date. To address this issue, soil samples …

Soil microbial biomass carbon (MBC) and soil microbial entropy (MBC/TOC: ratio of MBC to
total organic carbon) are frequently used as indicators to assess soil quality, belowground …
