Nitrogen (N) is widely distributed in the lithosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere and
biosphere. It is a basic component of every plant cell as well as microorganisms, as a …

The soil microbiome comprises one of the most important and complex components of all
terrestrial ecosystems as it harbors millions of microbes including bacteria, fungi, archaea …

Soil microorganisms are critical to ecosystem functioning and the maintenance of soil
fertility. However, despite global increases in the inputs of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) …

Addition of organic matter such as livestock manures and plant residues is a feasible
practice to mitigate soil degradation caused by long-term application of chemical fertilizers …

Organic substitution is beneficial to sustainable agricultural development. In order to
determine the proper fertilization strategy, it is necessary to evaluate the effects of partial …

Global fire regimes are shifting due to climate and land use changes. Understanding the
responses of belowground communities to fire is key to predicting changes in the ecosystem …

Microbial soil communities are active players in the biogeochemical cycles, impacting soil
fertility and interacting with aboveground organisms. Although soil microbial diversity has …

Repeated fertilization in a monoculture system causes a nutrient imbalance, disturbing the
soil bacterial community. To investigate the long-term effects of imbalanced fertilization, we …

The pool of soil organic carbon (SOC) in the Arctic is disproportionally large compared to
those in other biomes. This large quantity of SOC accumulated over millennia due to slow …

Root-derived carbon (C) is considered as critical fuel supporting the interaction between
plant and rhizosphere microbiome, but knowledge of how plant–microbe association …
