Bacillus subtilis Mobilizes Phosphorus by Reshaping P Pools, Sorption, and Enzyme Activities

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
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. subtilis was applied at 0 (B0), 15 (

Annual–Perennial Forage Mixtures Improve Forage Productivity and Soil Quality in Patchily Degraded Cultivated Pastures Under Grazing Management

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Patchy degradation of cultivated pastures under long‐term grazing is a serious issue limiting grassland productivity. The use of annual and perennial legume–grass mixtures, which offer complementary functional advantages, may provide a practical reseeding‐based approach for improving patchily degraded cultivated pastures; however, limited ...

Assessing Soil Erosion in a Typical Karst Region: A Model Improved by Bedrock Exposure Rate in Guizhou Province

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil erosion is a major environmental challenge in karst regions of Southwest China, where thin soils and high bedrock exposure accelerate land degradation. This study modified the RUSLE model by incorporating bedrock exposure rate to improve erosion simulation in Guizhou Province from 2000 to 2024.

Soil Humic Substances and Root Exudates: Key Factors Modulating Cadmium Mobility in Paddy Soils Under Organic Fertilization

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cadmium (Cd) contamination in paddy fields poses a high potential risk of environmental exposure. Organic fertilizer application can promote the efflux of rice root exudates, increase soil organic matter, and induce changes in Cd activity in rice fields.

A Study on the Distribution Characteristics of Salinity and Nutrients and the Migration Mechanism of Soil Salt in the Delingha Saline‐Alkali Soil Profile of the Qaidam Basin

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil salinization negatively impacts the economic development and ecological environment, particularly in the arid and semiarid regions of China. The Qaidam Basin constitutes a major distribution area of saline‐alkali land in the country. However, the distribution patterns of salinity and nutrients within soil profiles and the underlying salt ...

Integrating and assessing metacommunity drivers of ecosystem function and resilience in benthic algal systems

Oikos, EarlyView.
Understanding the scales and mechanisms by which species composition interacts with ecosystem functions is critical for forecasting the effects of environmental perturbations on ecosystem services. However, the linkages between what regulates the ecosystem functions of dispersal‐capable networks of communities (metacommunities) and what regulates a ...

The importance of wild meat and freshwater fish for children's nutritional intake in the Congo Basin

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Wild meat and freshwater fish are widely consumed in the Congo Basin, but in some areas, they are at risk of disappearing due to unsustainable hunting and fishing and changes in their habitat. Wild meat is also at risk of being eliminated from local diets due to potential policy changes such as wild meat bans.

Discovery of edodine, a natural compound from Lentinula edodes with antibacterial activity for the biological control of fire blight pathogen Erwinia amylovora

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Novel edodine was identified from Lentinula edodes HK761, exhibiting biocontrol potential against fire blight by affecting motility, intracellular ATP level, and cell division of Erwinia amylovora. Abstract BACKGROUND In the search for biological resources with antibacterial activity against Erwinia amylovora, the culture filtrate of Lentinula edodes ...
