Irrigation is a common practice in agriculture to increase crop yield. However, the impacts of
irrigation on microbial-mediated processes that influence soil carbon (C) pools and crop …

High-throughput sequencing has become a critical tool for studying microbiomes by
measuring relative microbiome profiling, although this typically overlooks the absolute …

Diversified crop rotations have been suggested to reduce grain yield losses from the
adverse climatic conditions increasingly common under climate change. Nevertheless, the …

River deltas, as important food production centers, support 66% of the world's population,
together with other coastal areas. However, agriculture in river deltas is negatively affected …

Conventional dryland cropping systems are characterised by low crop diversity and frequent
fallows. This has significant impacts on soil microbes that underpin soil function. Diversifying …

Crop rotation has widely contributed to increasing farmland biodiversity as well as to
improving soil carbon pools and microbial diversity. However, there is a weak understanding …

Root-associated bacterial activity processes are key requirements for agricultural
production, yet we have limited understanding about the processes and drivers of …

Increased agricultural management intensity is known to degrade soil food web structure
and function, however, the impact of 50+ years of contrasting agricultural management …

Soil microbiomes play important roles in supporting agricultural ecosystems. However, it is
still not well-known how soil microbiomes and their functionality respond to fertilization in …

Coastal lands are crucial arable land reserves that play a vital role in ensuring future global
food security. In arable coastal lands, low soil quality often results in limited crop yield and …
