The inhomogeneity of plastisphere and soil may result in different microbial communities,
thus potentially affecting soil functions. Biodegradable plastics offer an alternative to …

Microplastics provide a unique habitat for microorganisms, forming the plastisphere. Yet the
ecology of the plastisphere, including the microbial composition, functions, assembly …

Seasonal variations of environmental factors generally result in considerable changes in
microbiomes, yet we still lack a clear understanding of how microbial communities maintain …

Understanding the characteristics of soil microbes responding to benzo [a] pyrene (BaP)
helps to deepen the knowledge of the risks of BaP to soil ecosystem. In this study, the …

Background Soil methanogens participate in complex interactions, which determine the
community structures and functions. Studies continue to seek the coexistence patterns of soil …

Soil aggregate fractions serve as functional units of a soil ecosystem, providing ecologically
diverse microhabitats for microbial communities. Manure application has been previously …

The increasing application of plastic film has caused the “white pollution” of farmlands in
greenhouses. To date, most studies on the ecology of the plastisphere have focused on the …

Fine-grained pyrites are difficult to be denitrified under natural environment due to chemical
oxidation with O 2. In this study, the pyrite/PHBV composites were synthesized through high …

Forage monoculture and grass (Gramineae)-legume mixtures are the two most commonly
used planting patterns for establishing farming grasslands, but the effects of these planting …

The pyrite-based autotrophic denitrification usually focused on the anaerobic/anoxic
environment with high sulfate production and low denitrification efficiency. In this study, the …
