Measures of soil biology are critical for the assessment of soil quality under different
agricultural management practices. By modifying soil microclimate, tillage exerts the most …

Continuously increasing human population demands increased food production, which
needs greater fertilizer's input in agricultural lands to enhance crop yield. In this respect …

Although diversifying crop rotations with perennials and cover crops and implementing no-
tillage practices has been promoted as an effective strategy for increasing soil carbon and …

Nutrient availability greatly regulates soil microbial processes and functions in tropical
forests. However, few studies have explored the impacts of nitrogen (N) addition (100 kg P …

Interactions between nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) are important for plant growth and
ecosystem carbon (C) sequestration. While effects of N supply on P dynamics have been …

Despite a large number of published studies, a consensus has not been reached on how
soil fungal and bacterial biomass, the primary regulators for soil organic matter …

Irrational application of chemical fertilizers causes soil nutrient imbalance, reduced microbial
diversity, soil diseases, and other soil quality problems and is one of the main sources of …

Different fertilisation regimes, ie the use of inorganic or organic fertilisers used in agriculture,
are thought to cause differential effects on soil bacteria. In this study, glasshouse …

A comprehensive evaluation of the impacts of different tillage managements on bacterial
community structure is fundamental to better understand their roles in maintaining soil …

Unbalanced fertilisation with nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), or potassium (K) deficiencies
suppresses tea growth and is common in tea production. Balanced fertilisation based on the …
