Rhizosphere Microbiome Transplantation as a Resource‐Efficient Approach to Enhance Growth and Microbial Functional Diversity in Urban Plants

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Urban soils are increasingly affected by degradation, compaction, pollution, and water limitation, which can constrain plant performance and the functioning of urban green spaces. Rhizosphere microbiome transplantation (RMT), which transfers entire microbial communities from donor plants to target species, has emerged as a potential ...

Root Order Dependent Changes in Fine‐Root Substrate and Soil Environment Regulate Soil Organic Nitrogen Fractions Under Acid Rain and Nitrogen Deposition

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Acid rain and nitrogen deposition are important environmental stressors affecting soil nitrogen cycling in subtropical forests, whereas fine‐root decomposition represents a major pathway for soil organic nitrogen (SON) input and transformation.

Cereal‐Legume Rotation Benefits Soil Ecosystem Multifunctionality by Improving the Efficiency of Microbial Carbon Pump

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cereal‐legume rotation is regarded as an important agricultural management strategy for enhancing soil organic carbon (SOC) and improving soil ecosystem multifunctionality (EMF). The soil microbial carbon pump (MCP) exerts a regulatory effect on the production of microbial necromass as well as the SOC accumulation.

From Salt‐Affected Marginal Land Resource to Remediation Agent: Halophyte‐Derived Biochar for Ameliorating Cd‐Contaminated Acidic Soil

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cadmium (Cd) contamination of acidic soils poses a significant threat to ecosystem stability and crop health. This study evaluated the potential of biochar derived from the halophyte Salicornia europaea (SBC), a salt‐tolerant plant that grows on saline‐alkali marginal land, to remediate Cd‐contaminated acidic soil.

Carbon‐Fixing Bacterial Network Complexity Mediates Soil Multifunctionality in a Panax notoginseng‐Pinus armandii Agroforestry System

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Autotrophic carbon‐fixing bacteria (CFB) are central contributors to soil carbon sequestration and biogeochemical carbon cycling in agroforestry ecosystems and can act as reliable biological indicators for evaluating agroforestry ecosystem sustainability.

Screening Maize Cultivars Enables Concurrent Safe Crop Production and Phytoremediation of Cd‐Contaminated Agricultural Soil: A Field Experiment

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Conventional management of heavy metal contaminated soil faces a dual challenge. Safe utilization maintains agricultural production without removing pollutants, whereas phytoremediation cleans the soil but cannot guarantee the planted crop safety.

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 (

Biological Salt‐Pump Effect: Long‐Term Stand Development of Haloxylon ammodendron and Its Role in Reshaping Soil Hydrothermal and Salinity Regimes

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Afforestation in the desert–oasis ecotone induces soil desiccation and secondary salinization. However, the seasonal dynamics of soil water–heat–salt interactions across plantations of different stand ages in arid regions remain unclear. Here, we investigated the seasonal patterns and coupled relationships of soil water–heat–salt dynamics in ...
