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 ...

Production of xylanolytic enzymes by Aspergillus terricola in stirred tank and airlift tower loop bioreactors [PDF]
Fungi producing high xylanase levels have attracted considerable attention because of their potential industrial applications. Batch cultivations of Aspergillus terricola fungus were evaluated in stirred tank and airlift bioreactors, by using wheat ...

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
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 ...

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‐

Niche differentiation is spatially and temporally regulated in the rhizosphere. [PDF]
The rhizosphere is a hotspot for microbial carbon transformations, and is the entry point for root polysaccharides and polymeric carbohydrates that are important precursors to soil organic matter (SOM).

Iminosugar inhibitors of carbohydrate-active enzymes that underpin cereal grain germination and endosperm metabolism [PDF]
Starch is a major energy store in plants. It provides most of the calories in the human diet and, as a bulk commodity, it is used across broad industry sectors.
