Context How to improve nitrogen (N) efficiency and reduce environmental pollution caused
by N loss has attracted much attention. However, limited research has lacked a …

Organic materials are integral to the soil carbon cycle in agricultural ecosystems, yet their
specific impacts on soil organic carbon (SOC) and microbial diversity are not fully …

Nitrogen (N) fertilizer application is one of the causes of soil acidification at tea plantations.
However, the effect of N fertilizer application on the soil acidification characteristics of tea …

Plant roots play a crucial role in acquiring available nutrients and regulating microbial
decomposition, leading to faster nutrient cycling in the rhizosphere than in bulk soil. With …

Soil is the primary sink for released nanomaterials (NMs), but the understanding of the
impacts of NMs on the soil microbiome remains fragmented. Moreover, there is currently lack …

Microbial-based biostimulants, functioning as biotic and abiotic stress protectants and
growth enhancers, are becoming increasingly important in agriculture also in the context of …

Herbivore grazing and nitrogen (N) fertilization affect soil microbial diversity and community
composition both in direct and indirect pathways (eg, via alterations in soil microenvironment …

Abstract Controlled-release urea (CRUs), including polymer-coated urea (PCU), sulfur-
coated urea (SCU), and polymer/sulfur dual layer-coated urea (PSCU), have been …

Fertilization will cause changes in crop growth, soil microbial community and multiple
ecosystem functions, but it is unclear whether and how the optimal productivity obtained by …
