Soil enzymes are crucial in mediating ecosystems' responses to environmental drivers, so
that the comprehension of their sensitivity to drivers of global change can help make …

The mutualistic relationship between mycorrhizal fungi and plant roots is a widespread
terrestrial symbiosis. The symbiosis enables plants to better adapt to adverse soil conditions …

Plastic is exceedingly abundant in soils, but little is known about its ecological
consequences for soil microbiome functioning. Here we report the impacts of polyethylene …

The ongoing climate change on the Tibetan Plateau, leading to warming and precipitation
anomalies, modifies phosphorus (P) cycling in alpine meadow soils. However, the …

Nitrogen availability affects the mineralization of soil organic matter differently depending on
soil type and soil layer. It is unknown whether such differences result from different …

The impact of microplastics and their additives on soil nutrient cycling, particularly through
microbial mechanisms, remains underexplored. This study investigated the effects of …

Reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from agricultural ecosystems is vital to mitigate
global warming. Conservation tillage is widely used in farmland management to improve soil …

Nitrogen (N) is a crucial nutrient for the growth and activity of rhizosphere microorganisms,
particularly during drought conditions. Plant root-secreted mucilage contains N that could …

Microorganisms in eutrophic water play a vital role in nitrogen (N) removal, which
contributes significantly to the nutrient cycling and sustainability of eutrophic ecosystems …

Nitrogen is an essential component of living organisms and a major nutrient that limits life on
Earth. Until now, freely available nitrogen mainly comes from atmospheric nitrogen, but most …
