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.
Mineral-Solubilizing Microbial Inoculums Promote Robinia pseudoacacia L. Growth by Optimizing the Rhizosphere Soil Microbial Community Structure
This paper is not relevant to microplastics research — it examines how mineral-solubilizing microbial inoculants affect rhizosphere microbial communities and growth of Robinia pseudoacacia trees.

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.
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.
Alteration of the Rhizosphere Microbiota and Growth Performance of Barley Infected with Fusarium graminearum and Screening of an Antagonistic Bacterial Strain (Bacillus amyloliquefaciens)
Researchers examined how polyethylene microplastics alter the rhizosphere microbiome and growth performance of barley infected with a root pathogen, finding that MP contamination shifted microbial community composition and exacerbated disease symptoms in infected plants.
Impacts of biodegradable microplastics on rhizosphere bacterial communities of Arabidopsis thaliana: Insights into root hair-dependent colonization
Researchers investigated how biodegradable microplastics from PBAT plastic affect the bacterial communities around plant roots, using two genotypes of Arabidopsis with different root hair lengths. They found that longer root hairs promoted greater bacterial colonization and diversity, and that biodegradable microplastics boosted enzyme activity and shifted bacterial community composition in the root zone. The findings suggest that the effects of biodegradable microplastics on soil health depend on plant root characteristics.
Response strategies of stem/leaves endophyte communities to nano-plastics regulate growth performance of submerged macrophytes.
Nano-polystyrene exposure changed the composition and activity of endophytic bacterial communities in the stems and leaves of aquatic macrophytes, with some endophyte shifts helping plants maintain growth by modulating stress responses, revealing a microbiome-mediated tolerance mechanism.
