Nitrogen Enrichment Enhances Soil Multifunctionality Through Distinct Drivers Across Urban, Suburban, and Rural Forests

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The accelerating pace of urban expansion has profoundly reshaped urban–rural ecosystems, altering soil environments and impairing key ecological services. However, the combined impacts of urban expansion and atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition on soil multifunctionality—the capacity to sustain multiple ecological processes—remain poorly ...

Alpine Secondary Forest Types Influence Soil Microbial Community Structure and Enzyme Activities on the Eastern Qinghai–Tibet Plateau

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil microbial communities and enzyme activities influence soil functions and tree growth in ecologically fragile alpine regions. However, differences in soil microbial communities among secondary forests remain poorly understood in the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau.

Nitrogen‐Fixing Woody Plants Sequester More Soil Mineral‐Associated Carbon and Lose Less Particulate Carbon Than Herbs Post Vegetation Restoration

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Dividing soil organic carbon (SOC) into particulate (POC) and mineral‐associated organic carbon (MAOC) is crucial for understanding the formation, persistence, and functions of soil carbon. However, current understanding of the dynamics of new and old carbon in POC and MAOC following vegetation restoration remains unclear.

Response of Soil Fungal Communities to the Alpine Steppe Degradation Gradient

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The degradation of alpine steppe on the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau has become a critical ecological security issue. Soil fungi, as core regulators of grassland ecosystem functioning, play a pivotal role in mediating the feedback between degradation and soil ecological processes.

Phylogenetic placement of Tritirachium strains from the URM culture collection originally founded by Augusto Chaves Batista (1916-1967) in Brazil, and the description of T. batistae sp. nov.

Acta Botânica Brasílica
Twenty-seven Tritirachium strains were present in the URM culture collection originally founded in Brazil by Augusto Chaves Batista. Fifteen freshly-prepared cultures were obtained from these original strains preserved under mineral oil.

Environmental Filtering and Microbial Interactions Drive Soil Bacterial and Fungal Community Assembly in Subtropical Forests

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil microbial communities are pivotal to forest ecosystem functions, yet the mechanisms shaping their assembly across complex environments remain poorly understood. This study examined bacterial and fungal communities within topsoil and subsoil under subtropical coniferous forest (CF), mixed conifer–broadleaf forest (MF), and broadleaf forest

Ecological Restoration of Degraded Mining Soils Through Key‐Layer Construction Using Industrial By‐Products: A Comprehensive Analysis of Soil Physics, Microbiology, and Maize Yield

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Coal mining severely degrades soil profiles and ecosystem functions, highlighting the need for effective reclamation. Reconstructing soil profiles with industrial solid wastes offers a promising waste‐to‐resource approach, but the ecological effects of different engineered key‐layer materials remain unclear.

Mycolichenological portrait of alder forest: alpha diversity revealed in 1ha plot in the Samursky National Park (Republic of Dagestan, Russia)

Юг России: экология, развитие
Aim. Xylobiont fungi and lichens determine the sustainability of forest ecosystems, but their species richness and taxonomic diversity depend on the forest type and the degree of its disturbance.
