Plants are associated with hundreds of thousands of microbes that are present outside on
the surfaces or colonizing inside plant organs, such as leaves and roots. Plant-associated …

Crop residue quality and quantity have contrasting effects on soil organic matter (SOM)
decomposition, but the mechanisms explaining such priming effect (PE) are still elusive. To …

The climate smart agricultural residue management practices which entail reduced tillage
and in-situ crop residue managements are considered pre-requisite for improved soil health …

Fertilizer-N application and straw incorporation impacts crop productivity due to changes in
total organic carbon (TOC), its labile pools and the soil enzymatic activity. A field experiment …

Particulate organic matter (POM) is considered an “active” source of nitrogen (N) in
cultivated soils, responding readily to management and being more physically accessible to …

Introduction Conservation tillage is a widely used technique worldwide, but the effects of
conservation tillage on bacterial community structure are poorly understood. We explored …

The beneficial effect of crop residue amendment on soil organic carbon (SOC) stock and
stability depends on the functional response of soil microbial communities. Here we …

Plant resistance genes could affect rhizosphere microbiota, which in turn enhanced plant
resistance to stresses. Our previous study found that overexpression of the GsMYB10 gene …

Sugarcane-soybean intercropping has been widely used to control disease and improve
nutrition in the field. However, the response of the soil microbial community diversity and …

Vegetation restoration is an effective strategy for sequestering soil organic carbon (SOC)
and restoring degraded ecosystems. However, the effects of different restoration strategies …
