Increasing Temperature and Microplastic Fibers Jointly Influence Soil Aggregation by Saprobic Fungi [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Microplastic pollution and increasing temperature have potential to influence soil quality; yet little is known about their effects on soil aggregation, a key determinant of soil quality.

Organic fertilization improves soil aggregation through increases in abundance of eubacteria and products of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2021
An important goal of sustainable agriculture is to maintain soil quality. Soil aggregation, which can serve as a measure of soil quality, plays an important role in maintaining soil structure, fertility, and stability. The process of soil aggregation can

Effects of litter input on soil aggregation and aggregate carbon turnover differ among three subtropical forests in southeastern China [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science
Background and aimsLitter input plays important roles in controlling soil aggregation and aggregate carbon (C) content. However, the effects of litter input on soil aggregate C turnover in different forest types remain unclear.MethodsWe examined the ...

Abiotic and Biotic Factors Influencing the Effect of Microplastic on Soil Aggregation

Soil Systems, 2019
Plastic is an anthropogenic, ubiquitous and persistent contaminant accumulating in our environment. The consequences of the presence of plastics for soils, including soil biota and the processes they drive, are largely unknown.

Impact of Long-Term Nutrient Supply Options on Soil Aggregate Stability after Nineteen Years of Rice–Wheat Cropping System

Land, 2022
Continuing soil degradation remains a serious threat to future food security. Soil aggregation can help protect soil organic matter from biodegradation; it affects soil physical (aeration), chemical (water infiltration), and biological (microbial ...

Effects of atrazine application on soil aggregates, soil organic carbon and glomalin-related soil protein

Plant, Soil and Environment, 2021
Atrazine is still widely used in China. Atrazine residue (1.86-1 100 mg/kg) in the soil has exceeded the allowable limit (1.0 mg/kg), affecting soil structure and soil aggregate composition.
