Challenges in upscaling laboratory studies to ecosystems in soil microbiology research. [PDF]
Glob Chang Biol, 2023 Soil microbiology has entered into the big data era, but the challenges in bridging laboratory‐, field‐, and model‐based studies of ecosystem functions still remain. Indeed, the limitation of factors in laboratory experiments disregards interactions of a

Do temperature and moisture conditions impact soil microbiology and aggregate stability?
Journal of Soils and Sediments, 2023 Purpose Studies predicting the impacts of climate change on erosion have considered numerous variables, such as rainfall erosivity and vegetation cover, but have not considered potential changes in soil erodibility.

The Microbiology of Biological Soil Crusts.
Annual Review of Microbiology, 2023 Biological soil crusts are thin, inconspicuous communities along the soil atmosphere ecotone that, until recently, were unrecognized by ecologists and even more so by microbiologists.

A framework for integrating microbial dispersal modes into soil ecosystem ecology
iScience, 2022 Summary: Dispersal is a fundamental community assembly process that maintains soil microbial biodiversity across spatial and temporal scales, yet the impact of dispersal on ecosystem function is largely unpredictable.

Method of biochar application affects growth, yield and nutrient uptake of cowpea
Open Agriculture, 2020 Biochar produced from pyrolysis of organic materials has been found to improve plant growth by improving the physical and chemical characteristics of the soil as well as enhancing the sequestration of carbon dioxide that would release into the atmosphere

Fungal Traits Important for Soil Aggregation [PDF]
, 2020 Soil structure, the complex arrangement of soil into aggregates and pore spaces, is a key feature of soils and soil biota. Among them, filamentous saprobic fungi have well-documented effects on soil aggregation. However, it is unclear what properties, or

Use and abuse of potential rates in soil microbiology
bioRxiv, 2020 Potential rate assays are used in soil microbial ecology to determine the maximum rate of a functional process in environmental samples. They assume that all contributing organisms in a community are active at a maximum rate under one set of ‘optimal ...
