Simulated elephant foraging alters tree root exudation rates: Species‐specific responses and implications for belowground carbon dynamics in tropical forests

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1733-1745, September 2026.
Asian elephants play crucial roles in ecosystem functioning, and their interactions with plants influence above‐ and belowground carbon cycling. We tested whether their mechanically destructive foraging triggers short‐term, stress‐induced shifts in tree root exudation, an underappreciated pathway linking herbivory to belowground carbon processes.

DataSheet_1_Microbial necromass response to soil warming: A meta-analysis.docx

, 2022
Microbial-derived soil organic matter (SOM), or necromass, is an important source of SOM and is sensitive to climate warming. Soil classification systems consider soil physicochemical properties that influence SOM, hinting at the potential utility of ...

A synergistic alliance between nematophagous fungi and organic matter against plant‐parasitic nematodes: a systematic review

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 9, Page 8104-8119, September 2026.
Certain beneficial fungi are widely used to control harmful nematodes in crops, especially when combined with organic matter. Together, they improve soil health, support plant growth, and enhance nutrient cycling. This natural partnership offers a promising, environmentally friendly approach to strengthening sustainable agriculture and reducing ...

Glomus iranicum var. Tenuihypharum as a Biofertilizer Modulates Soil Microbial Community Composition and Enhances Soil Carbon Dynamics in Nectarine Cultivation

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT The development of biofertilization strategies based on arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) represents a promising approach to enhance crop productivity and soil health while reducing the environmental footprint of conventional fertilization. This study evaluated the effects of Glomus iranicum var.

Conservation farming prefers restoring plant lignin and microbial necromass in the particulate to mineral-associated organic matter

Conservation farming has been recognized as effective climate strategies for enhancing soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration and soil health. Yet, the extent to which this alternative agriculture influences SOC characteristics (i.e., biomolecules ...

Biomarkers reveal vulnerability of plant and microbial carbon to sea-level rise in estuarine wetlands

Communications Earth & Environment
Coastal wetlands are critical blue carbon sinks, yet contributions and stabilization mechanisms of key soil organic carbon components—plant-derived carbon, microbial necromass carbon, and glomalin-related soil protein—remain poorly quantified.

Unlocking Soil Organic Carbon Potential in Sustainable Agriculture

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Soil organic carbon (SOC) is central to soil health, crop productivity, and agroecosystem resilience because of its influence on soil physical, chemical, and biological properties and processes. However, increasing SOC does not uniformly improve crop productivity, as SOC responses to management are often slow and the resulting agronomic ...

From Microbial Traits to Predictive Management of Multifunctional Soils

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Soil microbial ecology is data‐rich yet struggles to predict ecosystem functions under ongoing environmental change, including climate warming, altered precipitation patterns, and land‐use intensification. The core challenge lies in linking micron‐scale microbial metabolism to field‐scale outcomes. We argue that progress requires: (i) shifting
