Increased concerns associated with interactions between herbicides, inorganic fertilizers,
soil nutrient availability, and plant phytotoxicity in perennial tree crop production systems …

Stover mulching over no-till soil is regarded as a promising practice to increase soil organic
carbon (SOC) in croplands against climate change. Microbial necromass is a significant …

Reducing tillage and growing cover crops, widely recommended practices for boosting soil
health, have major impacts on soil communities. Surprisingly little is known about their …

Conservation tillage practices may stimulate soil organic carbon (SOC) storage in croplands
by reducing soil disturbance and increasing inputs of crop residue. Although the effect of …

The elevational pattern of soil microbial diversity along mountain slopes has received
considerable interest over the last decade. An increasing amount of taxonomic data on soil …

Tillage and fertilization are common practices used to enhance soil fertility and increase
yield. Changes in soil edaphic properties associated with different tillage and fertility …

Replant failure caused by negative plant-soil feedback (NPFS) in agricultural ecosystems is
a critical factor restricting the development of sustainable agriculture. Soil nutrient availability …

Stover-covered no-tillage (NT) is of great significance to the rational utilization of stover
resources and improvement of cultivated land quality, and also has a profound impact on …

Introduction Conservation tillage is a widely used technique worldwide, but the effects of
conservation tillage on bacterial community structure are poorly understood. We explored …

Conservation agriculture is a sustainable alternative to conventional agriculture. However,
little is known about their effect on the environment and on the soil microbial community. It …
