Field to Greenhouse: How Stable Is the Soil Microbiome after Removal from the Field?

Microorganisms
Plant-soil feedback (PSF) processes impact plant productivity and ecosystem function, but they are poorly understood because PSFs vary significantly with plant and soil type, plant growth stage, and environmental conditions. Controlled greenhouse studies

Temporal dynamics in biotic and functional recovery following mining [PDF]

, 2022
1. Human-induced disturbance has substantially influenced the structure and function of terrestrial ecosystems globally. However, the extent to which mul-tiple ecosystem functions (multifunctionality) recover following anthropogenic disturbance ...

Shifts in functional traits and interactions patterns of soil methane‐cycling communities following forest‐to‐pasture conversion in the Amazon Basin [PDF]

, 2023
Deforestation threatens the integrity of the Amazon biome and the ecosystem services it provides, including greenhouse gas mitigation. Forest-to-pasture conversion has been shown to alter the flux of methane gas (CH4 ) in Amazonian soils, driving a ...

Interaction between mucus layer and gut microbiota in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease: Soil and seeds

Chinese Medical Journal, 2023
. The intestinal mucus layer is a barrier that separates intestinal contents and epithelial cells, as well as acts as the "mucus layer-soil" for intestinal flora adhesion and colonization.
