Increased stability of a subtropic bamboo forest soil bacterial communities through integration of water and fertilizer management compared to conventional management

BMC Plant Biology
Background Conventional management (CM), substantial fertilization and flooding irrigation, has led to soil acidification, the decrease in soil bacterial diversity in bamboo forests.

Transition of Ethiopian highland forests to agriculture-dominated landscapes shifts the soil microbial community composition

BMC Ecology, 2018
Background Land use changes and related land management practices significantly alter soil physicochemical properties; however, their effects on the soil microbial community structure are still unclear.

Soil pH: a key edaphic factor regulating distribution and functions of bacterial community along vertical soil profiles in red soil of pomelo orchard

BMC Microbiology, 2022
Background Soil microbes exist throughout the soil profile and those inhabiting topsoil (0–20 cm) are believed to play a key role in nutrients cycling. However, the majority of the soil microbiology studies have exclusively focused on the distribution of

Temperature-dependent changes in the soil bacterial community in limed and unlimed soil [PDF]

FEMS Microbiology Ecology, 2003
Abstract A humus soil with a pH(H(2)O) of 4.9 was limed to a pH of 7.5 and was incubated together with samples from unlimed and field limed (pH 6.1) soils at 5, 20 and 30 degrees C for up to 80 days. The changes in the phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) pattern were most rapid for the bacterial community of the soil incubated at 30 degrees C, while no ...

Soil Inorganic Electron Acceptors and Carbon Substrates Hierarchically Govern Wetland Methanogenesis Temperature Response

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Wetlands constitute Earth's largest natural methane (CH4) source, yet projections of their climate feedback remain uncertain due to poorly constrained temperature sensitivity (Q10‐CH4) of microbial methanogenesis. While water table dynamics have been demonstrated to regulate wetland methanogenesis by altering key soil conditions such as ...

Variations in the physicochemical properties of soil, enzyme activities, and the characteristics of bacterial communities within algal biocrusts and subsoils across different plant communities

Global Ecology and Conservation
Algal biological soil crusts (ABSCs) as ecological engineers inhabiting the soil-atmosphere boundary in dryland. Bacteria living at this boundary drive the diversity of ecosystem functions and services. However, it is still unknown whether differences in

The Variation in the Rhizosphere Microbiome of Cotton with Soil Type, Genotype and Developmental Stage

Scientific Reports, 2017
Plant roots and soil microorganisms interact with each other mainly in the rhizosphere. Changes in the community structure of the rhizosphere microbiome are influenced by many factors.

Underground Signals: The Ecological Power of Root Volatiles

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Root volatiles mediate rhizosphere chemical communication, shaping interactions among plants, microbes, herbivores, and natural enemies. Their production, transport, and perception underpin ecological adaptation, multitrophic interactions, and plant resilience, offering opportunities for sustainable crop protection, resilient agroecosystems, and ...

The Impact of Fertilizer Amendments on Soil Autotrophic Bacteria and Carbon Emissions in Maize Field on the Semiarid Loess Plateau

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Soil autotrophic bacteria play a crucial role in regulating CO2 fixation and crop productivity. However, the information is limited to how fertilization amendments alter soil autotrophic bacterial community, crop yield, and carbon emission efficiency ...
