Leguminous plants are an important component of terrestrial ecosystems and significantly
increase soil nitrogen (N) cycling and availability, which affects productivity in most …

Few studies have conducted the responses of soil extracellular enzyme activities (EEA) to
climate change, especially over the long term. In this study, we investigated the six-year …

Ammonia (NH 3) volatilization was a vital process of the nitrogen cycle in agricultural
ecosystems and closely related to the atmospheric environment quality. To investigate the …

Acid rain pollution is changing gradually from sulfuric acid rain (SAR) to mixed acid rain
(MAR) and then to nitric acid rain (NAR) with the rapidly growing number of motor vehicles …

Few studies have examined the long-term responses of soil labile organic carbon (C) and
nitrogen (N) and microbial activities to climate change in semiarid and arid regions. Here we …

Climate change scenarios forecast both increase in atmospheric CO 2 concentration ([CO
2]) and temperature. Elevated [CO 2](e [CO 2]) and soil temperature (eST) significantly …

In sustainable/organic farming systems, Agro-ecological Service Crops (ASC) may provide
many beneficial ecosystem services, when they are introduced as buffer zones, living …

Purpose Nitrate-layered double hydroxide material (nitrate-LDH) matrix can be considered
as a potential formulation of delivering nitrogen into soil in a sustained manner. Materials …

Purpose Cover crop residue is generally applied to improve soil quality and crop
productivity. Improved understanding of dynamics of soil extractable organic carbon (EOC) …

Facilitation by the nurse effect can occur through an amelioration of environmental stress.
Plant-microorganism interaction, however, is another key facilitation mechanism of the nurse …
