Enhanced below‐ground functioning is associated with higher plant resistance against drought: Implications for ecosystem functions

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 3, March 2026.
The results suggest that the subordinate species achieves higher drought resistance in biomass and soil functions via increased below‐ground functioning. The data presented here provide a basis to explain the underlying mechanisms behind the response of grassland communities and their C cycling to drought.

Multi-step approach to add value to corncob: production of biomass-degrading enzymes, lignin and fermentable sugars [PDF]

, 2018
This work presents an integrated and multi-step approach for the recovery and/or application of the lignocellulosic fractions from corncob in the production of high value added compounds as xylo-oligosaccharides, enzymes, fermentable sugars, and lignin ...

Interactive Effects of Warming and Nitrogen Fertilization on Soil Organic Carbon, Total Nitrogen, Soil Respiration, and Microbial Activities

GCB Bioenergy, Volume 18, Issue 3, March 2026.
Warming significantly increased, but nitrogen (N) fertilization decreased soil respiration, and N fertilization also decreased soil respiration only in the warming treatment in a switchgrass cropland in Middle Tennessee. ABSTRACT Understanding the effects of multiple global change drivers, for example, warming (W) and nitrogen (N) fertilization, is ...

Long‐term leguminous mulch reduces microbial nutrient limitation and enhances soil multifunctionality of citrus orchard

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Leguminous green mulching (LGM) enhances soil biochemical properties and ecosystem functions of orchards, yet the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. To address this, we compared three mulching regimes—clean tillage, 4‐year mulching, and 8‐year mulching—to examine the response of soil microbial metabolic limitation and ecosystem ...

Soil extracellular enzymes drive soil carbon accumulation under elevated CO2

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 347-359, February 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Human‐driven increases in atmospheric CO2 (eCO2) are stimulating plant growth, thereby increasing the input of plant‐derived carbon into soils. The fate of this additional carbon depends on the capacity of soil microbiomes to decompose and transform organic matter, a ...

Microbial communities respond to experimental warming, but site matters [PDF]

, 2014
Because microorganisms are sensitive to temperature, ongoing global warming is predicted to influence microbial community structure and function. We used large-scale warming experiments established at two sites near the northern and southern boundaries ...

Response of Soil Microbes and Soil Enzymatic Activity to 20 Years of Fertilization

Agronomy, 2020
Fertilization is a worldwide agricultural practice used in agronomy to increase crop yields. Fertilizer application influences overall soil characteristics, including soil microbial community composition and metabolic processes mediated by microbial ...

Evolutionary Divergence of an Ethylene‐Responsive Transcriptional Cascade Governs a Dose‐Dependent Balance between Cotton Fiber Length and Strength

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 5, 27 January 2026.
A tunable, ethylene‐responsive cascade governing the dose‐dependent balance between fiber length and strength is unveiled. Elevated ethylene strengthens modern tetraploid cotton (G. hirsutum) fibers but elongates those of its diploid ancestor (G. arboreum). This phenotypic switch is traced to an evolutionary functional inversion of a conserved EIN3‐ERF‐

Molecular cloning, expression, and characterization of four novel thermo-alkaliphilic enzymes retrieved from a metagenomic library

Biotechnology for Biofuels, 2017
Background Enzyme discovery is a promising approach to aid in the deconstruction of recalcitrant plant biomass in an industrial process. Novel enzymes can be readily discovered by applying metagenomics on whole microbiomes.
