ABSTRACT Winter land‐use systems are an important but understudied component of agricultural management because long‐term practices may be associated with distinct soil conditions and microbial characteristics. However, whether different winter land‐use systems are consistently associated with differences in soil properties and microbial communities ...

Conservation agriculture significantly enhances soil resilience in tropical agroecosystems, especially in semiarid areas characterized by high degradation susceptibility, mostly related to the occurrence of shallow soils and increasing climate stress.

Microbiome‐mediated plant‐soil feedbacks as a tool for resilient agriculture
Translating plant‐soil feedbacks (PSFs) into reliable agricultural management requires shifting from input‐dependent practices toward endogenous, process‐driven crop resilience. To bridge this gap, we propose a predictive framework centered on three strategic interventions: engineering the crop holobiont, diversifying the soil habitat, and deploying ...

Whole orchard recycling in California's Central Valley: Benefits, management, and adoption
Abstract Whole orchard recycling (WOR) has become a common practice in California (CA) orchards and vineyards due to declining options for agricultural biomass disposal. WOR is the process by which entire orchards or vineyards are shredded into chips, spread onto the soil surface, and incorporated into the soil before replanting a new crop.

Bacillus subtilis Mobilizes Phosphorus by Reshaping P Pools, Sorption, and Enzyme Activities
ABSTRACT Low phosphorus (P) availability constrains crop production in saline‐alkaline soils of Xinjiang, China. We tested whether Bacillus subtilis ( B. subtilis ) mobilizes soil P by altering P fractions, sorption–desorption, and P‐cycling enzymes in a saline‐alkaline cotton soil. Under conventional fertilization, B.
