Not relevant to microplastics — this study investigates how nitrogen fertilizer addition affects rhizosphere microbial diversity and soil multifunctionality in tiger nut crops grown in sandy farmland.
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.
Moderate Nitrogen Reduction Increases Nitrogen Use Efficiency and Positively Affects Microbial Communities in Agricultural Soils
A field study found that moderate nitrogen reduction did not significantly reduce crop yield due to increased nitrogen use efficiency driven by higher available phosphorus and potassium, while short-term nitrogen changes had limited effects on soil microbial community structure but increased nitrification-related bacterial functions.
Differences in the Microbial Composition and Function of the Arundo donax Rhizosphere Under Different Cultivation Conditions
Researchers compared the microbial communities in the root zones of giant reed (Arundo donax) grown in hydroponic versus soil conditions. The study found that hydroponic cultivation resulted in lower microbial diversity but higher abundances of nitrogen-fixing and photosynthetic bacteria, providing insights into how cultivation methods influence root-associated microorganism communities.
The effect of intercropping leguminous green manure on theanine accumulation in the tea plant: A metagenomic analysis
Researchers examined how intercropping tea plants with leguminous green manure affects the accumulation of theanine, a key amino acid in tea. Using soil DNA analysis, they found that the green manure promoted nitrogen-cycling bacteria that enhanced nutrient availability for the tea plants. While the study focuses on agricultural practices, it provides insight into how soil microbial communities respond to different cropping strategies.
Nitrogen and phosphorus addition affects community assembly and network structure of phyllosphere and rhizosphere microbiomes in the Inner Mongolia steppe
Researchers examined how nitrogen and phosphorus addition altered bacterial and fungal community assembly and network structure in phyllosphere and rhizosphere microbiomes of an Inner Mongolian steppe, finding that nutrient addition decreased diversity, shifted assembly toward deterministic processes for bacteria and stochastic processes for fungi, and increased network complexity while reducing stability.
Shifts in maize microbial communities and networks are correlated with the soil soil chemical property under different fertilization regimes
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.
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.
