Agriculture contributes to a decline in local species diversity and to above-and below-
ground biotic homogenization. Here, we conduct a continental survey using 1185 soil …

Organic amendments can stimulate soil organic carbon (SOC) mineralization and soil
aggregation simultaneously, which can improve C sequestration and soil fertility. However …

Straw incorporation and nitrogen (N) application play crucial roles in regulating soil carbon
(C) and N storage and availability. However, their effects on soil C and N fractions and …

Straw residue amendment and fertilization are the key global management strategies for
achieving more sustainable agriculture. However, the temporal changes in labile soil …

Humans have long relied on microbial communities to create products, produce energy, and
treat waste. The microbiota residing within our bodies directly impacts our health, while the …

Soil microbial community composition plays a key role in the decomposition of organic
matter, while the quality of exogenous organic matter (EOM: rice straw, roots and pig …

Understanding the effects of straw return and N fertilization on soil organic matter (SOM)
transformations will help maintain crop production and soil function, which can ultimately …

Straw incorporation into soil increases carbon (C) sequestration but can induce priming
effects (PE), the enhanced breakdown of soil organic matter. The direction and magnitude of …

Identifying the core taxa involved in the utilization of plant straw or/and rhizodeposits is key
to understanding the microbial mechanisms underlying the turnover of these plant-derived …

The beneficial effect of crop residue amendment on soil organic carbon (SOC) stock and
stability depends on the functional response of soil microbial communities. Here we …
