Soil microbial communities play a key role in the evolution of the rhizosphere. In addition, proper exploration of these microbial resources represents a promising strategy that guarantees the health and sustainability of all ecosystems connected to the ground. Under the influence of environmental c...

Fungicides are central for global plant production strategies. Even though, direct and indirect effects on plant health were identified, they were hardly assessed, particularly not for riparian ecosystems. Known unintended side effects of fungicides are changes in soil microbial (including soil fung...

ABSTRACT As the main decomposers in forest ecosystems, soil microorganisms are crucial in maintaining ecosystem functions and services. Topographic factors are essential for soil formation and can influence the community structure of soil microorganisms by modifying the soil environment. However, a...

Under study was the microbiome structure in virgin light-colored hydromorphized solonetz soil by using molecular-genetic and cultural methods. It was shown that the diversity of the microbial community is constantly decreasing down the soil profile being sharply declined in the solonetz horizon. Aga...

This study investigated agricultural saline soils collected from distinct pedoclimatic profiles from Poland and Italy. Twelve fungal strains from Italy and 9 from Poland were identified and tested for halotolerance, extracellular enzyme production, biosurfactant potential, and mycotoxin production....

IntroductionPanax notoginseng, a perennial medicinal plant, suffers from severe continuous cropping obstacles. Chloropicrin (CP) as a soil fumigant can be used to effectively mitigate continuous cropping obstacles. Mulch film application plays a crucial role in enhancing the effectiveness of CP soil...

Aridity and warming accelerate soil organic carbon (SOC) loss, thereby compromising essential functions of soil health, such as nutrient retention and microbial diversity. However, the mechanisms by which microbes adapt to arid and low SOC conditions remain poorly understood. Here, using data from a...

Continuous cropping leads to high incidence of soilborne diseases such as bacterial wilt caused by Ralstonia solanacearum, which poses a risk to agricultural production. Anaerobic soil disinfestation (ASD) and plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are considered environmentally friendly method...

With increased cultivation of transgenic Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) cotton in the saline alkaline soil of China, assessments of transgenic crop biosafety have focused on the effects of soil salinity on rhizosphere microbes and Bt protein residues. In 2013 and 2014, investigations were conducted on...

Soils are among the habitats with the most species-rich communities on our planet. However, knowledge about soil biodiversity status and trends varies by organism group and this also applies to Germany. For soil microorganisms and microfauna, only a fraction of the expected number of species has be...

The biodiversity of soil microorganisms and fauna supports many ecosystem functions in terrestrial ecosystems, such as decomposition, aggregation of soil organic matter or mobilization and recycling of nutrients. These processes are linked to the functional traits (e.g. life strategy, body size, me...

In the case of soil cadmium (Cd) pollution becoming more and more serious, the modified in-situ fixation method is widely used as one of the remediation methods of soil heavy metal pollution. To explore the remediation effects of mixed amendment M (the mass ratio of lime, zeolite, calcium-magnesia p...

Antibiotics are medical drugs used to kill bacteria and treat infections. But in recent years, more and more antibiotics have been used in animal feed as growth promoters. Manure is used worldwide in agricultural practice as a fertilizer to enhance plant yields. Several studies revealed that manure...

The rational application of fertilization methods and the timing of film removal are crucial for enhancing tobacco yield and quality, as well as for promoting soil health. In our study, we established fertilization methods (hole fertilization and band fertilization) and film removal timing treatment...

IntroductionAs the years of mango cultivation progress, pathogens invade the soil, leading to the development of soil borne diseases. These diseases not only change the physical and chemical properties of the soil but also influence the diversity and composition of soil microbes, ultimately impeding...
