Organic Fertilization Improves Soil Multifunctionality in Sugarcane Agroecosystems [PDF]

Agronomy
Soil multifunctionality is closely tied to soil health, yet a comprehensive understanding of this link in agricultural soils is lacking. The aim of this study was to understand how long-term fertilization practices affect the provision of multiple ...

Aridity-driven shift in biodiversity-soil multifunctionality relationships. [PDF]

Nat Commun, 2021
AbstractRelationships between biodiversity and multiple ecosystem functions (that is, ecosystem multifunctionality) are context-dependent. Both plant and soil microbial diversity have been reported to regulate ecosystem multifunctionality, but how their relative importance varies along environmental gradients remains poorly understood.

Effects of grazing on vegetation diversity and soil multifunctionality in coconut plantations. [PDF]

Front Plant Sci, 2022
Grazing is the main way of utilizing understory vegetation in the tropics. However, the effects of grazing on vegetation diversity and soil functions in coconut plantations remain unclear. Therefore, this study was conducted in a young coconut plantation that was grazed by geese in Wenchang, China.

The ecological clusters of soil organisms drive the ecosystem multifunctionality under long-term fertilization

Environment International, 2022
Long-term fertilization is known to impact the biodiversity and community structures of soil organisms, which are responsible for multiple soil ecosystem functions (multifunctionality).

Soil multifunctionality is affected by the soil environment and by microbial community composition and diversity. [PDF]

Soil Biol Biochem, 2019
Microorganisms are critical in mediating carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) cycling processes in soils. Yet, it has long been debated whether the processes underlying biogeochemical cycles are affected by the composition and diversity of the soil microbial community or not.
