Background Stable soil aggregates are essential for optimal crop growth and preventing soil erosion. However, tillage is often used in agriculture to loosen the soil, which disrupts the integrity of these aggregates.

The Influence of Kerosene on Microbiomes of Diverse Soils [PDF]
One of the most important challenges for soil science is to determine the limits for the sustainable functioning of contaminated ecosystems. The response of soil microbiomes to kerosene pollution is still poorly understood. Here, we model the impact of kerosene leakage on the composition of the topsoil microbiome in pot and field experiments with ...

Disentangling soil microbiome functions by perturbation [PDF]
Summary Soil biota contribute to diverse soil ecosystem services such as greenhouse gas mitigation, carbon sequestration, pollutant degradation, plant disease suppression and nutrient acquisition for plant growth. Here, we provide detailed insight into different perturbation approaches to disentangle soil microbiome functions and to ...

Cover crop root exudates impact soil microbiome functional trajectories in agricultural soils
Cover cropping is an agricultural practice that uses secondary crops to support the growth of primary crops through various mechanisms including erosion control, weed suppression, nutrient management, and enhanced biodiversity.

Microbiome composition of disturbed soils from sandy-gravel mining complexes with different reclamation approaches [PDF]
Activities connected to mineral mining disrupt the soil layer and bring parent rock material to the surface. It leads to altering the environmental conditions and leaves behind vast areas of disturbed lands. Returning these lands to natural ecosystems is

Soil Nitrogen Treatment Alters Microbiome Networks Across Farm Niches
Agriculture is fundamental for food production, and microbiomes support agriculture through multiple essential ecosystem services. Despite the importance of individual (i.e., niche specific) agricultural microbiomes, microbiome interactions across niches

Assessing Soil Health: Measuring the Soil Microbiome [PDF]
AbstractThe following article is the fourth in a six‐part series on assessing soil health. It focuses on measuring the soil microbiome. It is part of a larger Soil Science Society of America webinar series produced in partnership with The Soil Health Institute and sponsored by The Walton Family Foundation.
