The main goal of the study was to find differences in the bacterial community structure
resulting from different ways of meadow management in order to get the first insight into …

Aim: This study aims to clarify the response of soil bacterial species composition, pattern,
and functional structure to a range of grassland degradation in alpine meadows. Methods …

The knowledge that biodiversity is an essential factor for maintaining a proper condition of
soils is commonly widespread. However, the loss of microbial diversity as an effect of …

Agricultural practices affect the soil ecosystem in multiple ways and the soil microbial
communities represent an integrated and dynamic measure of soil status. Our aim was to …

Land-use change is considered likely to be one of main drivers of biodiversity changes in
grassland ecosystems. To gain insight into the impact of land use on the underlying soil …

Soil microbial communities are involved in the maintenance of productivity and health of
agricultural systems; therefore an adequate understanding of soil biodiversity plays a key …

Nowadays, one of the most important challenges is to ensure sustainable agricultural
management of crops such as maize (Zea mays L.). Long-term crop production, however …

This study aims to determine the effects of crops and their cultivation regimes on changes in
the soil microbiome. Three plant species were selected for the study: Triticum aestivum …

Land use affects physical, chemical and biological properties and processes in soil. Long-
term field experiments were employed to reveal changes of soil characteristics induced by …

Predicting the composition and function of microbial communities at a bio-geographical
scale, across ecosystems, is challenging. We compared six abandoned fields to six …
