Anthropogenic interventions play a key role in promoting positive feedback of soil–plant–
environment interactions, but systematic reports on how anthropogenic activities influence …

Land application of farmyard manure (FYM) is a widespread agronomic practice used to
enhance soil fertility, but its long-term effects on soil microbial carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) …

The priming effect is an essential mediator in the soil carbon (C) cycle. There is a growing
concern about the priming effect induced by labile C input. However, the driving factors of …

We analyzed soil prokaryotic and fungal community composition in soils with varying
histories of cattle manure application. The manure treatments were (i) annual application for …

Cellulose decomposition is a key process in soil carbon (C) cycling due to the high
abundance of cellulose in plant biomass. Microbial functional groups that sequester C from …

Increasing crop nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) has important implications for food security
and agricultural sustainability. Changes in nutrient availability due to stoichiometric …

With the constant surge of strawberry cultivation and human demand, widespread concern
has been expressed about the severe soil and plant health problems caused by continuous …

Local effective microorganism (LEM) is an inoculant produced using leaf litter collected from
forest floors near the location where it is to be utilized. While this locally-sourced inoculant is …

Purpose The mineralization rate of soil carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) is important for
determining soil C storage as well as nutrient supply and retention. Soil C and N …

Quantifying the fate of fertilizer nitrogen (N) is essential to develop more sustainable
agricultural fertilization practices. However, the fate of chemical fertilizer N, particularly in …
