The soil microbiota plays a major role in maintaining the nutrient balance, carbon sink, and
soil health. Numerous studies reported on the function of microbiota such as plant growth …

Ecological processes regulating soil carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) cycles are still poorly
understood, especially in the world's largest agricultural frontier in Southern Amazonia. We …

Soil microbial community responses to elevated CO 2 (eCO 2) occur mainly indirect via CO
2-induced plant growth stimulation, leading to quantitative as well as qualitative changes in …

Soil aeration can enhance soil enzyme activity and plant growth. These effects may be
caused by variations in soil microbial diversity and plant root development. However, little is …

The ecological impacts of long-term (press) disturbance on mechanisms regulating the
relative abundance (ie, commonness or rarity) and temporal dynamics of species within a …

Mangrove wetlands are a unique transitional coastal zone between terrestrial and aquatic
ecosystems along the subtropical and tropical coastlines. The abundant biodiversity of …

Extreme climate events always leave numerous fresh plant materials (FOM) in forests, thus
increasing the input of carbon (C) resources to soil system. The input of exogenous C may …

Here we report the chemical and microbial characterization of the surface water of a CO 2-
rich hydrothermal vent known in Costa Rica as Borbollones, located at Tenorio Volcano …

Root hypoxia stress and soil nutrient turnover have been related to reduced crop
productivity. Aerated drip irrigation (ADI) can effectively enhance crop productivity and yield …

Rising atmospheric CO2 concentration is a key driver of enhanced global greening, thought
to account for up to 70% of increased global vegetation in recent decades. CO2 fertilization …
