Integrative effects of increasing aridity and biotic cover on soil attributes and functioning in coastal dune ecosystems

Geoderma, 2021
Highlights • Aridity decreased total biotic cover and favoured the shrub-dominated patches. • Aridity negatively impacted potential N mineralization. • Soil bacterial communities were more sensitive to aridity than fungal communities. • Microsites control soil attributes in humid, transitional and dryland sites differently.

Evidence for a role of Arabidopsis CDT1 proteins in gametophyte development and maintenance of genome integrity [PDF]

, 2012
Meristems retain the ability to divide throughout the life cycle of plants, which can last for over 1000 years in some species. Furthermore, the germline is not laid down early during embryogenesis but originates from the meristematic cells relatively ...

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

Altered Organic Matter Chemical Functional Groups and Bacterial Community Composition Promote Crop Yield under Integrated Soil–Crop Management System

Agriculture, 2023
Sustainable agricultural production is essential to ensure an adequate food supply, and optimal farm management is critical to improve soil quality and the sustainability of agroecosystems. Integrated soil–crop management based on crop models and nutrient management designs has proven useful in increasing yields.

MICROBIAL CHARACTERIZATION OF ABANDONED MINING AREA OF SIDI KAMBER NORTH-EAST OF ALGERI [PDF]

, 2018
The ecological importance of soil bacteria is not limited to their number or biomass, although these parameters contribute greatly. Indeed, their main asset lies in their great genetic and functional diversity.
