Due to intensive agricultural practices, agricultural lands are subject to continuous
degradation. Agricultural productivity depends to a great degree on soil characteristics—soil …

Rice paddies are unique waterlogged wetlands artificially constructed for agricultural
production. Periphytic biofilms (PBs) at the soil–water interface play an important role in rice …

Acid mine drainage is harmful to the environment. Bioremediation based on biological soil
crusts (BSCs) can be used as a new method to alleviate metal pollution in acid mine …

As a pervasive microbial aggregate found at the water-soil interface in paddy fields,
periphyton plays crucial roles in modulating nutrient biogeochemical cycling. Consequently …

Stoichiometry plays a crucial role in biogeochemical cycles and can modulate soil nutrient
availability and functions. In agricultural ecosystems, phosphorus (P) fertilizers (organic or …

Paddy crusts (PCs) influence seriously on the heavy metal migration and transformation in
the paddy field system. However, their quantitative effect on heavy metal accumulation in …

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is the most reactive pool of organic carbon in soil and one
of the most important components of the global carbon cycle. Phototrophic biofilms growing …

Paddy fields play an important role in global carbon (C) cycling and are an important source
of methane (CH 4) emissions. Insights into the processes influencing the dynamics of soil …

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) plays vital roles in carbon and other nutrient transformation
at soil-water interfaces (SWI) in paddy fields. It is associated with the growth and withering of …

The bioavailability for varied-size phosphorus (P)-binding colloids (Pcoll) especially from
external P sources in soil terrestrial ecosystems remains unclear. This study evaluated the …
