Soil extracellular enzymes drive soil carbon accumulation under elevated CO2

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 347-359, February 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Human‐driven increases in atmospheric CO2 (eCO2) are stimulating plant growth, thereby increasing the input of plant‐derived carbon into soils. The fate of this additional carbon depends on the capacity of soil microbiomes to decompose and transform organic matter, a ...

Rhizosphere Organic Anions Play a Minor Role in Improving Crop Species' Ability to Take Up Residual Phosphorus (P) in Agricultural Soils Low in P Availability [PDF]

, 2016
Many arable lands have accumulated large reserves of residual phosphorus (P) and a relatively large proportion of soil P is less available for uptake by plants. Root released organic anions are widely documented as a key physiological strategy to enhance

Evolutionary Divergence of an Ethylene‐Responsive Transcriptional Cascade Governs a Dose‐Dependent Balance between Cotton Fiber Length and Strength

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 5, 27 January 2026.
A tunable, ethylene‐responsive cascade governing the dose‐dependent balance between fiber length and strength is unveiled. Elevated ethylene strengthens modern tetraploid cotton (G. hirsutum) fibers but elongates those of its diploid ancestor (G. arboreum). This phenotypic switch is traced to an evolutionary functional inversion of a conserved EIN3‐ERF‐

Community proteogenomics reveals the systemic impact of phosphorus availability on microbial functions in tropical soil. [PDF]

, 2018
Phosphorus is a scarce nutrient in many tropical ecosystems, yet how soil microbial communities cope with growth-limiting phosphorus deficiency at the gene and protein levels remains unknown.

Fermentation‐Assisted Valorization: A Sustainable Strategy for Turning Fruit By‐Products Into Value‐Added Food Supplements

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT A substantial proportion of fresh fruit undergoes processing, resulting in underutilized fruit by‑products (FBPs) that are rich in dietary fiber and bioactive compounds. Recent FBP valorization trends demonstrate that fermentation significantly enhances microbiological, nutritional, and sensory attributes, yielding value‑added food supplements.

Composition of soil fungal communities and microbial activity along an elevational gradient in Mt. Jiri, Republic of Korea [PDF]

PeerJ
Approximately 64% of the Republic of Korea comprises mountainous areas, which as cold and high-altitude regions are gravely affected by climate change. Within the mountainous and the alpine-subalpine ecosystems, microbial communities play a pivotal role ...
