The usage of grassland significantly affects the microbial and biochemical parameters of soil
epipedons. The use of grasslands (by mowing, grazing, and mowing and grazing) affects the …

Soil microorganisms play an important role in the carbon (C) cycling of terrestrial
ecosystems. However, changes in soil microbial activity and their linkages with soil C under …

Grasslands are among the most dynamic and threatened plant communities, largely due to
their dependence on management that has changed in recent decades. The intensity of …

Grasslands are the most carbon-rich of all agricultural ecosystems, but are also the most
endangered. The global area of grassland decreased during the 20th century, mainly due to …

Long-term field trials are ideal for characterising soil microbial communities because lasting
communities in a given cropping system evolve over a long time. However, the soil …

The phenomenon that some vascular plant species grow mainly or exclusively in the large
river valleys of Central Europe constitutes a long-standing distribution puzzle. In our study …

Purpose Soil available phosphate (AP) is largely dependent on phoD-harboring bacteria,
which can release alkaline phosphatase (ALP) to transform insoluble P for plant absorption …

Human exploitation of natural resources dictates the need for the sustainable use of lands
already in use. To combine the conservation of meadows with land recycling, 13,000 m2 of …

Introduction In order to solve the inhibition of alkaline environment on plants growth at the
initial stage of Eco-restoration of vegetation concrete technology, introducing AMF into …

Decomposition of organic matter supports important soil ecosystem services. The rate of
decomposition depends mostly on the type of plant material being decomposed and the …
