Explore the soil factors driving soil microbial community and structure in Songnen alkaline salt degraded grassland

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023
IntroductionSaline-alkali degradation in grassland significantly affects plant community composition and soil physical and chemical properties. However, it remains unclear whether different degradation gradients affect soil microbial community and the ...

Geobacter, Anaeromyxobacter and Anaerolineae populations are enriched on anodes of root exudate-driven microbial fuel cells in rice field soil [PDF]

, 2015
Plant-based sediment microbial fuel cells (PMFCs) couple the oxidation of root exudates in living rice plants to current production. We analysed the composition of the microbial community on anodes from PMFC with natural rice field soil as substratum for

Soil pH, total phosphorus, climate and distance are the major factors influencing microbial activity at a regional spatial scale [PDF]

, 2016
Considering the extensive functional redundancy in microbial communities and great difficulty in elucidating it based on taxonomic structure, studies on the biogeography of soil microbial activity at large spatial scale are as important as microbial ...

Unaltered soil microbial community composition, but decreased metabolic activity in a semiarid grassland after two years of passive experimental warming

Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Soil microbial communities regulate soil carbon feedbacks to climate warming through microbial respiration (i.e., metabolic rate). A thorough understanding of the responses of composition, biomass, and metabolic rate of soil microbial community to ...

Enteropathogen survival in soil from different land-uses is predominantly regulated by microbial community composition [PDF]

, 2015
peer-reviewedMicrobial enteropathogens can enter the environment via landspreading of animal slurries and manures. Biotic interactions with the soil microbial community can contribute to their subsequent decay.

Salinity Is a Key Determinant for Soil Microbial Communities in a Desert Ecosystem

mSystems, 2019
Soil salinization is a growing environmental problem caused by both natural and human activities. Excessive salinity in soil suppresses growth, decreases species diversity, and alters the community composition of plants; however, the effect of salinity ...

Forest succession improves the complexity of soil microbial interaction and ecological stochasticity of community assembly: Evidence from Phoebe bournei-dominated forests in subtropical regions

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Forest succession is a central ecological topic, due to the importance of the associated dynamic processes for terrestrial ecosystems. However, very little is currently known about the community assembly and interaction of soil microbial communities ...

Seasonality regulates the effects of acid rain on microbial community in a subtropical agricultural soil of Southern China

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2021
Acid rain alters soil carbon (C) cycling by influencing the soil microbial community structure and functions. However, the response of soil microbial communities to acid rain with time and underlying mechanisms are still poorly understood.
