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

open access: yesFrontiers 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 ...

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

open access: yesEcology 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 ...

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.

Priority effects largely determine the consequences of soil microbial community coalescence

open access: yesGeoderma
Priority effects play critical roles in microbial community assembly but remain underexplored in soil systems. Here, we investigated their influence on soil microbial community coalescence via microcosm experiments based on soils collected from six sites

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

open access: yesFrontiers 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 ...

Microbial community interactions determine the mineralization of soil organic phosphorus in subtropical forest ecosystems

open access: yesMicrobiology Spectrum
In subtropical forest ecosystems with few phosphorus (P) inputs, P availability and forest productivity depend on soil organic P (Po) mineralization.

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

open access: yesmSystems, 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 ...

Interactive Effects of Precipitation and Nitrogen on Soil Microbial Communities in a Desert Ecosystem

open access: yesMicroorganisms
Increased precipitation and nitrogen (N) deposition critically influence ecological processes and stability in desert ecosystems. Studying how the soil microbial community responds to these climatic changes will improve our understanding of the impacts ...

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

open access: yesEcotoxicology 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.

Metastatic niche shaped by host factors influences disseminated cancer cell fate

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Metastasis is shaped not only by cancer cells but also by the environments they encounter. This review explores how factors such as aging, diet, the microbiome, lifestyle, and environmental exposures remodel organ‐specific niches in the lung, liver, bone, and brain, influencing where metastatic cells survive, remain dormant, or grow, and ultimately ...
