Conservation tillage, defined as no-till with/without straw stubble covering, reduced tillage,
or minimum tillage in this study, is widely used to mitigate the negative effects of intensive …

Keystone species of microbial communities play a very important role in community structure
and ecosystem function; however, the effect of long-term nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) …

Continuous cropping of the same crop leads to soil degradation and a decline in crop
production, and these impacts could be mitigated through rotation cropping. Although crop …

Biochar plays an important role in reducing the harmful environmental effects of inorganic
nitrogen (N) fertilizers on agroecosystems, but the the impact mechanisms of biochar …

This study explores agronomic management (AM) effects on soil parameters under diverse
conditions. Investigating tillage practices (TP), nutrient management (NM), crop rotation …

The traffic-induced soil compaction in the field has gradually become an important constraint
to sustainable agricultural development. A field experiment was conducted to acquire the …

No-tillage (NT) with residual plastic film from an earlier year (NTR) is adopted in arid regions
to reduce plastic film residue, decrease soil disturbances, and increase water use efficiency …

Straw retention (SR) and organic fertilizer (OF) application contribute to improve soil quality,
but it is unclear how the soil microbial assemblage under organic amendments mediate soil …

Eukaryotic algae, as the primary group of photosynthetic autotrophs, exert a significant
influence on the development and functions of biological crusts in dryland ecosystems …

Introduction Plant invasion can profoundly alter ecosystem processes driven by
microorganisms. The fundamental mechanisms linking microbial communities, functional …
