Deciphering the effects of long-term exposure to conventional and biodegradable microplastics on the soil microbiome.

Journal of Hazardous Materials
Despite recent advances in the understanding of the impacts of microplastics (MPs) on the soil microbiome under short-term exposure, little information is known regarding the long-term ecological effects of MPs in soil, especially biodegradable MPs (BMPs)

Land abandonment transforms soil microbiome stability and functional profiles in apple orchards of the Chinese Losses Plateau.

Science of the Total Environment, 2023
Land abandonment is considered an effective strategy for ecological restoration on a global scale. However, few studies have focused on how environmental heterogeneity associated with the age of land abandonment affects the assembly and potential ...

Steering soil microbiome to enhance soil system resilience

Critical Reviews in Microbiology, 2019
Pathogens in soil play a tremendous role in soil health and subsequent food production. Soil-borne pathogens can cause serious losses to global harvest and are considered as a difficult problem to manage worldwide. The emergence of soil disease is largely dependent on the pathogen-host-environment complex, which can be employed to generate pathogen ...

PANOMICS at the interface of root–soil microbiome and BNI

Trends in Plant Science, 2023
Nitrification and denitrification are soil biological processes responsible for large nitrogen losses from agricultural soils and generation of the greenhouse gas (GHG) N2O. Increased use of nitrogen fertilizer and the resulting decline in nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) are a major concern in agroecosystems.

The Brazilian Soil Microbiome

2017
Brazil, where several biomes occur with an extraordinary exuberance of flora and fauna, is recognized worldwide as an important hotspot for biodiversity. However, a key but yet unexplored component of this biodiversity is represented by the microbial life that permeates Brazilian soils.

Sustaining the soil microbiome

2019
The soil microbiome, communities of microorganisms in soils, underpin natural processes in soil habitats and are affected by environmental and land use change. This POSTnote gives an overview of the benefits provided by the soil microbiome, ways of assessing the soil microbiome, and measures to improve its condition.

Caatinga Microbiome Initiative: disentangling the soil microbiome across areas under desertification and restoration in the Brazilian drylands

Restoration Ecology
The Caatinga biome in Brazil is renowned for its rich aboveground biodiversity. However, approximately 19% of this biome has experienced desertification, severely affecting the soil microbiome.

Plant pathogens, microbiomes, and soil health

Trends in Microbiology
Healthy soil is vital for ecosystem sustainability and global food security. However, anthropogenic activities that promote intensive agriculture, landscape and biodiversity homogenization, and climate change disrupt soil health. The soil microbiome is a critical component of healthy soils, and increasing evidence suggests that soils with low diversity

Phosphorus Cycling as a Function of Soil Microbiome

Global Change Biology
Phosphorus (P), especially its availability, plays a pivotal role in the productivity of terrestrial ecosystems. The recent article makes several key discoveries with substantial implications for understanding the global soil P cycling as a function of microbiome and ecological effects of human activities.
