Understanding soil–plant–microbe inter-and intra-interactions are essential for ensuring
proper soil health, quality, and soil-mediated ecosystem services (eg, nutrient cycling) …

The long-term effects of different fertilization regimes on the microbial functional potential of
soils involving nutrient cycling remain largely unknown. Here, metagenomic sequencing …

Although the effects of chemical fertilization management on microbial communities in soils
have been well studied, few studies have examined such impacts of long-term chemical …

Black soil is common in northeast China and plays an important role in Chinese crop
production. However, in the past three decades, inappropriate use of fertilizer has caused a …

An improved understanding of the complex interactions and relationships in the soil
ecosystem is essential to predict the impact of farming practices on soil quality and its …

Intensive forest management practices such as organic mulching and heavy fertilization can
affect soil microbial composition and function, and soil organic carbon (SOC) forms …

Long-term phosphorus (P) and nitrogen (N) applications may seriously affect soil microbial
activity. A long-term field fertilizer application trial was established on reddish paddy soils in …

Maize-soybean relay intercropping is an effective approach to improve the crop yield and
nutrient use efficiency, which is widely practiced by farmers in southwest of China. To …

Extracellular soil enzymes hold a cardinal position in nutrient dynamics by regulating
bioavailability of elements, and hence are linked with soil health. The present study aimed to …

To decrease nutrient losses in paddy soils, use of reduced inorganic fertilization and crop
straw return has gained interest in recent years. However, there is limited understanding …
