Degradable versus inert microplastics: Effects on soil organic carbon persistence via microbial drivers in an agroecosystem

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 8, Page 2628-2641, August 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Microplastics (MPs) are widespread in terrestrial ecosystems, raising global concerns that they may disrupt soil organic carbon (SOC) cycling and undermine agroecosystem contributions to climate mitigation.

Multi-mode binding of Cellobiohydrolase Cel7A from Trichoderma reesei to cellulose. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Enzymatic hydrolysis of recalcitrant polysaccharides like cellulose takes place on the solid-liquid interface. Therefore the adsorption of enzymes to the solid surface is a pre-requisite for catalysis.

Integrating indigenous microorganisms and cover crops to improve grapevine nutrition in sustainable vineyards

Agronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
Abstract Excessive use of agrochemicals and frequent tillage have degraded vineyard soils, threatening their sustainability and grape quality. Cover crops and microbial inoculants are increasingly promoted as nature‐based strategies for vineyard regeneration, yet they are rarely evaluated together.

Sample storage effects can matter less than spatiotemporal variation in soil phosphomonoesterase activity: A case study

Soil Science Society of America Journal, Volume 90, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
Abstract Measured activities of soil enzymes such as phosphomonoesterase (PHO) can be affected by when and where soils are sampled, and how soils are stored prior to analysis. While these factors have been evaluated individually, simultaneous assessment is needed to determine the relative importance of sampling decisions and sample storage for measured

Contrasting distribution of enzyme activities in the rhizosphere of European beech and Norway spruce

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Recent policies and silvicultural management call for forest regeneration that involve the selection of tree species able to cope with low soil nutrient availability in forest ecosystems.

The litter C/N ratio governs the dual role of ectomycorrhizal fungi in decomposition and plant nutrition absorption

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 7, Page 2190-2202, July 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Ectomycorrhizal fungi (EcMF) modulate litter decomposition and facilitate nutrient acquisition through the soil–mycorrhiza–plant pathway. Although litter chemistry has been considered an important factor affecting litter decomposition, how it regulates EcMF‐induced ...

Cellobiohydrolase Hydrolyzes Crystalline Cellulose on Hydrophobic Faces [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2011
Biodegradation of plant biomass is a slow process in nature, and hydrolysis of cellulose is also widely considered to be a rate-limiting step in the proposed industrial process of converting lignocellulosic materials to biofuels. It is generally known that a team of enzymes including endo- and exocellulases as well as cellobiases are required to act ...

Drought and Warming‐Induced Drying Suppress Soil Respiration but Amplify Rewetting‐Induced Pulses in a Temperate Pasture

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 7, July 2026.
A factorial rainfall × warming field experiment showed that drought and warming suppressed overall soil respiration but amplified rewetting‐induced CO2 pulses via contrasting effects of moisture, temperature, and substrate availability. Their interaction shifted seasonally, from additive (spring) to antagonistic (summer‐autumn) and synergistic (winter),

Update of the list of qualified presumption of safety (QPS) recommended microbiological agents intentionally added to food or feed as notified to EFSA 24: Suitability of taxonomic units notified to EFSA until March 2026

EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract The Qualified Presumption of Safety (QPS) process was developed to provide a harmonised safety assessment approach to support EFSA Scientific Panels and Units. The QPS approach assesses the taxonomic identity, body of knowledge and safety of microorganisms intentionally added to the food and feed chain.

Microorganisms Control Litter Decomposition and Drive Grassland Soil C Stabilization by Regulating Exoenzymes

Global Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 2, June 2026.
Grazing exclusion increased the percentage of litter‐derived C incorporation into both labile and stable SOC pools because of the higher litter quantity and microbial activities than that in the grazed grasslands. ABSTRACT Litter decomposition and microbial activity are important factors affecting soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration in the ...
