A corn field experiment compared how different fertilizers — chemical versus organic — shaped soil microbial communities and their interaction networks. Organic fertilizers altered both the diversity and connections between soil microbes, which has implications for soil health and agricultural sustainability.
Structural and Functional Characteristics of Soil Microbial Communities in Forest–Wetland Ecotones: A Case Study of the Lesser Khingan Mountains
Researchers examined soil microbial communities across a forest-to-wetland gradient in China's Lesser Khingan Mountains, comparing mixed forest, conifer forest, wetland edge, and natural wetland. Natural wetland soils harbored the most distinct bacterial communities, driven primarily by high organic matter, nitrogen, and phosphorus content.
Root carbon inputs outweigh litter in shaping grassland soil microbiomes and ecosystem multifunctionality
Researchers analyzed 13 years of field data from a semi-arid grassland and found that carbon inputs from plant roots matter more than leaf litter in sustaining soil microbial diversity and overall ecosystem health. Removing plants caused greater microbial and functional declines than removing surface litter, underscoring the hidden importance of below-ground carbon in maintaining healthy soils.
Linking bacterial and fungal assemblages to soil nutrient cycling within different aggregate sizes in agroecosystem
Researchers investigated how bacterial and fungal microbial assemblages within four different soil aggregate sizes correlate with nutrient cycling in rice fields in Southern China, finding that deterministic processes govern bacteria while stochastic processes govern fungi, and that macroaggregates showed stronger regulation of carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus cycling by soil properties than microaggregates.
Effects of Film Mulching on Soil Microbial Diversity and Community Structure in the Maize Root Zone under Drip Irrigation in Northwest China
A field study in Northwest China examined how different plastic film mulching practices affected soil microbial diversity and community structure in drip-irrigated maize fields across the growing season.
How Organic Mulching Influences the Soil Bacterial Community Structure and Function in Urban Forests
Researchers tested how different types of organic mulch affect the bacterial communities in urban forest soils. They found that wood chips and compost changed the soil's chemical properties and shifted the types of bacteria present, particularly those involved in carbon and nitrogen cycling. The study suggests that organic mulching could be a practical tool for improving the microbial health of urban soils.
Research progress on the effects of different fertilizers on soil microorganisms
This review examines how different fertilizer types — chemical, organic, and compound — affect soil microbial communities, summarizing research on how fertilizer-induced changes in microbial diversity and function influence nutrient cycling and crop yield.

Biochar Mitigates the Negative Effects of Microplastics on Sugarcane Growth by Altering Soil Nutrients and Microbial Community Structure and Function
Microplastic contamination in sugarcane-growing soils in China reduces crop biomass and degrades soil nutrients and microbial diversity.
