Ridge Tillage Improves Soil Properties, Sustains Diazotrophic Communities, and Enhances Extensively Cooperative Interactions Among Diazotrophs in a Clay Loam Soil

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Reduced tillage practices [such as ridge tillage (RT)] have been potential solutions to the weed pressures of long-term no tillage (NT) and the soil-intensive disturbances caused by conventional tillage [such as moldboard plow (MP) tillage].

Glucose and Lignin Differentially Drive Phosphorus Fractions to Vary in Mollisols (WRB) and Fluvo-Aquic Soil (Chinese Soil Taxonomy) via Microbial Community Shifts

Agriculture
Carbon (C) is crucial for nutrient cycling and the assembly of microbial populations in the soil. However, it is still unclear how the C-source utilization characteristics of microbes in distinct types of soils respond to changes in soil phosphorus (P ...

Arbuscular mycorrhizae improves photosynthesis and water status of Zea mays L. under drought stress

Plant, Soil and Environment, 2012
The influences of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungus on growth, gas exchange, chlorophyll concentration, chlorophyll fluorescence and water status of maize (Zea mays L.) plants were studied in pot culture under well-watered and drought stress conditions.

Potential role of organic matter in the transmission of antibiotic resistance genes in black soils

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2021
The degradation of black soil is a serious problem with the decrease in soil organic matter (SOM) content in northeast China, and animal manure as a reservoir of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) is commonly amended into soil to sustain or increase the ...

The Short-Term Effects of Mineral- and Plant-Derived Fulvic Acids on Some Selected Soil Properties: Improvement in the Growth, Yield, and Mineral Nutritional Status of Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) under Soils of Contrasting Textures

Plants, 2020
Fulvic acids (FAs) improve the structure and fertility of soils with varying textures and also play a crucial role in increasing crop production. The pot experiment was carried out using wheat grown on three soils with a silty clay, sandy loam, and clay ...

Soil physical quality of Mollisols quantified by a global index [PDF]

Scientia Agricola, 2015
Indicators synthesizing the state of the structural quality and the function of the porous system are useful for assessing soil production capacity as well as the way it may serve natural ecosystems. This research aimed (i) to determine indicators of the state and function of the porous system, (ii) to use them to derive a global index to characterize ...
