The dependent correlation between soil multifunctionality and bacterial community across different farmland soils. [PDF]

Front Microbiol, 2023
IntroductionMicroorganisms play a critical role in soil biogeochemical cycles, but it is still debated whether they influence soil biogeochemical processes through community composition and diversity or not. This study aims to investigate variation in bacterial community structure across different soils and its correlation to soil multifunctionality ...

Soil biodiversity and soil community composition determine ecosystem multifunctionality [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2014
Significance Biological diversity is the foundation for the maintenance of ecosystems. Consequently it is thought that anthropogenic activities that reduce the diversity in ecosystems threaten ecosystem performance. A large proportion of the biodiversity within terrestrial ecosystems is hidden below ground in soils, and the impact of altering

Microbial diversity and the abundance of keystone species drive the response of soil multifunctionality to organic substitution and biochar amendment in a tea plantation

GCB Bioenergy, 2022
High nitrogen (N) fertilizer inputs accelerate soil acidification and degradation in tea plantations, thus posing a threat to soil microbial diversity, species composition, and ecosystem service functions.

Bacterial richness is negatively related to potential soil multifunctionality in a degraded alpine meadow

Ecological Indicators, 2021
Fungal richness and community composition are known to be positively associated with soil multifunctionality. However, the contributions of bacterial and fungal communities to the multiple soil functions of alpine meadow ecosystems have not been widely ...

The soil depth determines soil multifunctionality <i>via</i> shaping the soil properties and microbial diversity. [PDF]

PeerJ
Background Soil microorganisms drive subsurface ecological processes and are shaped by soil properties, which in turn influence biogeochemical cycling. Although the link between biodiversity and soil multifunctionality (SMF) has received widespread attention, the relative roles of soil properties and microbial ...

The Impact of Policy Instruments on Soil Multifunctionality in the European Union [PDF]

Sustainability, 2017
Agricultural ecosystems provide a range of benefits that are vital to human well-being. These benefits are dependent on several soil functions that are affected in different ways by legislation from the European Union, national, and regional levels. We evaluated current European Union soil-related legislation and examples of regional legislation with ...

Climate change and cropland management compromise soil integrity and multifunctionality

Communications Earth & Environment, 2023
Soils provide essential ecosystem functions that are threatened by climate change and intensified land use. We explore how climate and land use impact multiple soil function simultaneously, employing two datasets: (1) observational – 456 samples from the

Assessing multifunctionality of agricultural soils: Reducing the biodiversity trade‐off [PDF]

European Journal of Soil Science, 2020
Abstract Soils are indispensable for the provision of several functions. Agricultural intensification and its focus on increasing primary productivity (PP) poses a threat to soil quality, due to increases in nutrient loads, greenhouse gas emissions and declining biodiversity.

Erosion reduces soil microbial diversity, network complexity and multifunctionality [PDF]

The ISME Journal, 2021
Abstract While soil erosion drives land degradation, the impact of erosion on soil microbial communities and multiple soil functions remains unclear. This hinders our ability to assess the true impact of erosion on soil ecosystem services and our ability to restore eroded environments.

Multifunctionality of soil food webs

Zoosymposia, 2022
Soil food webs regulate functioning, ensure stability and support biodiversity both below and above ground. Structure of feeding interactions in soil food webs is shaped by complex size and spatial organization of soil life, and diverse adaptations of soil-dwelling consumers.
