Water shortage and soil degradation are common environmental stressors encountered in
the Mediterranean area. We evaluated how different soil moisture levels, dependent on …

Traditional intensive agricultural practices negatively impact soil quality, leading to
increased erosion in the Mediterranean region. In contrast, sustainable management …

In spite of considerable insights into the microbial diversity of marine sponges, quantitative
information on microbial abundances and community composition remains scarce. Here, we …

The circadian clock mediates metabolic functions of plants and rhythmically shapes structure
and function of microbial communities in the rhizosphere. However, it is unclear how the …

Soil microbes and enzymes in permafrost peatland are sensitive to temperature changes,
which might result in more potential loss of carbon and increase in available nitrogen from …

Nano‐selenium fertilizers can promote plant growth and nitrogen availability. However, little
information is available on the effects of nano‐selenium on tea leaf quality, soil nutrient …

Productivity in agricultural ecosystems is often largely dependent on the input of nitrogen
fertilizers such as urea, nitrate, and ammonia, despite the high financial costs and potential …

Coal-bed methane (CBM) has emerged as a globally important source of natural gas, and
recent studies have revealed that microbial production of methane in CBM formations plays …

The nitrogen (N) cycle comprises a large number of oxidative and reductive reactions that
are catalysed by wide variety of enzymes. Genes coding for most of the N-cycle enzymes …
