Pesticides are widely applied in agriculture to combat disease, pests, and weeds, leading to
long-lasting contamination of agricultural soils with pesticide residues. While classical risk …

Soil pH is a dominant factor affecting bacterial community composition in acidic, neutral, and
alkaline soils but not in severely acidic soils (pH< 4.5). We conducted a nitrogen (N) addition …

Using Fe (II) salt as the precipitant in heterotrophic denitrification achieves improved TP
removal, and enhancement in denitrification was often observed. This study aimed to obtain …

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

Microbial nitrate reduction can drive Fe (II) oxidation in anoxic environments, affecting the
nitrous oxide emission and ammonium availability. The nitrate-reducing Fe (II) oxidation …

Denitrification is mediated by microbial, and physicochemical, processes leading to nitrogen
loss via N2O and N2 emissions. Soil pH regulates the reduction of N2O to N2, however, it …

Mitigating climate change in soil ecosystems involves complex plant and microbial
processes regulating carbon pools and flows. Here, we advocate for the use of soil …

Pesticides play a vital role in ensuring modern agricultural production, but also adversely
affecting soil health. Microorganisms are the cornerstone of soil ecology, however, to date …

Agricultural soil is the largest source of nitrous oxide (N2O), a greenhouse gas. Soybean is
an important leguminous crop worldwide. Soybean hosts symbiotic nitrogen-fixing soil …

Crop residues returned to the soil are important for the preservation of soil quality, health,
and biodiversity, and they increase agriculture sustainability by recycling nutrients …
