The present paper reviews the most recent advances regarding the effects of chemical and
organic fertilizers on soil microbial communities. Based on the results from the articles …

Broadacre (arable) crops generally require a relatively higher nutrient input toward yield
targets. The efficient use of nutrients in arable farmlands is very vital to this endeavor. It …

To lessen the negative environmental impact of chemical fertilizers, replacing chemical
fertilizers with more organic fertilizers for famers is a good choice. However, most of the …

In order to maintain high yields and protect the environment, the replacement of chemical
fertilizers with organic ones has received increasing attention in recent years. A 2-year field …

The co-application of biochar and inorganic N fertilizer has been shown to be a sustainable
and environmental friendly technology for the improvement of soil fertility and crop yield …

Partial substitution of chemical fertilizer with organic fertilizer (PSCFOF) is being increasingly
recognized as a promising approach for achieving sustainable agriculture. However …

Although diazotrophs are important in the nitrogen (N)-cycle and contribute to the pool of
plant available N, the population response to long-term inorganic fertilization is largely …

Different fertilization regimes differentially impact the physicochemical properties, diversity,
and ecosystem functioning of soil microbial communities. However, there is little research on …

The optimization of more sustainable fertilization practice to relieve phosphorus (P) resource
scarcity and increase P fertilizer utilization, a better understanding of the regulatory roles of …

The combined use of inorganic fertilizers with organic manures has recently attracted
increasing interest in China in attempts to mitigate the deleterious environmental impacts of …
