Microbial functional diversity and carbon use feedback in soils as affected by heavy metals

Environment International, 2019
Soil microorganisms are an important indicator of soil fertility and health. However, our state of knowledge about soil microbial activities, community compositions and carbon use patterns under metal contaminations is still poor.

Biochar-Mediated Effects on Changes in Soil Quality and Microbial Communities

Agronomy
In a greenhouse experiment, we examined the behavior of biochar in arable soil to demonstrate that these supplements can boost soil carbon storage, as well as to track changes in microbial biomass and identify the microbial communities that use these ...

Effects of Biological Nitrogen Fixation and Nitrogen Deposition on Soil Microbial Communities in Karst Grassland Ecosystems

Microorganisms
Diverse exogenous nitrogen (N) sources have a considerable impact on microbial community structure in terrestrial ecosystems. Legume plants and N deposition can relieve N limitations and increase net primary productivity.

Invasive bamboo removal enhances soil multifunctionality via increasing fungal but not bacterial community stability

Forest Ecosystems
Removing invasive plants is widely considered an effective approach for restoring invaded ecosystems. While the impacts of such removal on aboveground vegetation have been well-documented, its influences on soil microbial communities and ...

Initial microbiome and tree root status structured the soil microbial community discrepancy of the subtropical pine-oak forest in a large urban forest park

Frontiers in Microbiology
Plant–microbe–soil interactions control over the forest biogeochemical cycling. Adaptive plant–soil interactions can shape specific microbial taxa in determining the ecosystem functioning.

Differences in soil nutrient and microbial characteristics between invasive Ageratina adenophora and native plant communities.

PLoS ONE
Much emphasis has been placed on the negative consequences of alien species on resident ecosystems. Nevertheless, quantitative studies on the effects of invasive and native plant communities on soil nutrients and microbial features were rarely conducted.
