Impact of Fumigants on Soil Microbial Communities [PDF]

open access: yesApplied and Environmental Microbiology, 2001
ABSTRACT Agricultural soils are typically fumigated to provide effective control of nematodes, soilborne pathogens, and weeds in preparation for planting of high-value cash crops. The ability of soil microbial communities to recover after treatment with fumigants was examined using culture-dependent (Biolog) and culture ...

Short-term application of chicken manure under different nitrogen rates alters structure and co-occurrence pattern but not diversity of soil microbial community in wheat field

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Manure application is an effective way to improve the utilization efficiency of organic resources and alleviate the adverse effects of long-term application of chemical fertilizers. However, the impact of applying manure under different nitrogen rates on

Cover Cropping Increases Soil Fungal-Bacterial Community Diversity and Network Complexity in Apple Orchards on the Loess Plateau, China

open access: yesFrontiers in Environmental Science, 2022
Soil microorganisms play a key role in soil fertility. Exploring the microbial community composition and diversity in response to cover crops is important for improving soil fertility in orchards.

Changes in vegetation types affect soil microbial communities in tropical islands of southern China

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Conservation, 2022
Soil microbial communities are the key drivers of nutrient cycling in ecosystems. However, the functional response of soil microbial community composition to contrasting vegetation types in tropical coral islands is still unclear.

Plant and soil microbe responses to light, warming and nitrogen addition in a temperate forest [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
1. Temperate forests across Europe and eastern North America have become denser since the 1950s due to less intensive forest management and global environmental changes such as nitrogen deposition and climate warming. Denser tree canopies result in lower

Compared to conventional, ecological intensive management promotes beneficial proteolytic soil microbial communities for agro-ecosystem functioning under climate change-induced rain regimes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Projected climate change and rainfall variability will affect soil microbial communities, biogeochemical cycling and agriculture. Nitrogen (N) is the most limiting nutrient in agroecosystems and its cycling and availability is highly dependent on ...

Changes and Correlation Between Physiological Characteristics of Rhododendron simsii and Soil Microbial Communities Under Heat Stress

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2022
The relationship between Rhododendron simsii and its soil microbial community under heat stress was not clear. In this study, the effects of heat stress on the physiological characteristics, soil physicochemical properties and soil microbial community ...

Links between soil microbial communities and plant traits in a species-rich grassland under long-term climate change [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Climate change can influence soil microorganisms directly by altering their growth and activity but also indirectly via effects on the vegetation, which modifies the availability of resources.

Microbial carbon mineralization in tropical lowland and montane forest soils of Peru [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Climate change is affecting the amount and complexity of plant inputs to tropical forest soils. This is likely to influence the carbon (C) balance of these ecosystems by altering decomposition processes e.g., "positive priming effects" that accelerate ...
