Zonal Soil Type Determines Soil Microbial Responses to Maize Cropping and Fertilization [PDF]

mSystems, 2016
Soil types heavily influence ecological dynamics. It remains controversial to what extent soil types shape microbial responses to land management changes, largely due to lack of in-depth comparison across various soil types.

Impact of intercropping on the coupling between soil microbial community structure, activity, and nutrient-use efficiencies [PDF]

PeerJ, 2019
Sugarcane-soybean intercropping has been widely used to control disease and improve nutrition in the field. However, the response of the soil microbial community diversity and structure to intercropping is not well understood.

Soil multifunctionality is affected by the soil environment and by microbial community composition and diversity

Soil Biology and Biochemistry, 2019
Microorganisms are critical in mediating carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) cycling processes in soils. Yet, it has long been debated whether the processes underlying biogeochemical cycles are affected by the composition and diversity of the soil microbial ...

Increasing acid rain frequency promotes the microbial community dissimilarities of forest soil rather than agricultural soil in southern China

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2022
Soil microbial community drives the terrestrial carbon (C) cycling by C sources metabolism (i.e., organic C decomposition), however, the microbial response to changing acid rain frequency remains less studied, thus hampering global warming projection ...

Polyethylene microplastics alter soil microbial community assembly and ecosystem multifunctionality.

Environment International, 2023
Although pervasive microplastics (MPs) pollution in terrestrial ecosystems invites increasing global concern, impact of MPs on soil microbial community assembly and ecosystem multifunctionality received relatively little attention. Here, we manipulated a

Effects of Chlorothalonil Application on the Physio-Biochemical Properties and Microbial Community of a Yellow–Brown Loam Soil

Agriculture, 2022
To gain better knowledge of the effects of residual chlorothalonil on soil characteristics and soil microbial communities, we evaluated the dissipation of chlorothalonil and the effects of different chlorothalonil concentrations on soil respiration ...

Effect of microplastics on soil microbial community and microbial degradation of microplastics in soil: A review

Environmental Engineering Research, 2023
The mass production, continual usage, and improper disposal of plastic products have resulted in significant environmental pollution. The larger plastic polymers gradually break down into smaller particles called microplastics (
