Ecosystem functions directly depend upon biophysical as well as biogeochemical reactions
occurring at the soil-microbe-plant interface. Environment is considered as a major driver of …

Prolonged drought and extreme precipitation can have a significant impact on the activity
and structure of soil microbial communities. The aim of the study was to assess the impact of …

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) contamination in agricultural soils poses serious
stress to the soil microbiome. With the broad application of biochar, however, the co-effects …

Microbial community structure plays a crucial part in soil organic carbon (SOC)
decomposition and variation of rhizosphere priming effects (RPEs) during plant growth …

Sugarcane monoculture (SM) often leads to soil problems, like soil acidification,
degradation, and soil-borne diseases, which ultimately pose a negative impact on …

In acidic soil, potassium (K) deficiency is a main limiting factor that restricts the growth of fruit
trees. Biochar has been used as a soil amendment to increase pH and nutrients. However …

Background Straw retention is a substitute for chemical fertilizers, which effectively maintain
organic matter and improve microbial communities on agricultural land. The purpose of this …

The soil organisms are extremely important for the land-based ecosystem. There is a
growing interest in studying the variety and composition of the entire underground soil …

Long-term cultivation of woody species would change soil microbial community and
metabolites composition, and then affect soil ecological function. Camellia oleifera is an …

Silicon (Si) deficiency, caused by acidic soil and rainy climate, is a major constraint for
sugarcane production in southern China. Si application generally improves sugarcane …
