Fungi play a key role in the nitrogen cycle. Diverse fungi are known to reduce nitrate or
nitrite to gaseous nitrogen oxides such as nitric oxide, nitrous oxide (N 2 O), and dinitrogen …

The role of biocontrol products is expected to increase worldwide consumer demand and
facilitate the implementation of sustainable agricultural policies. New biocontrol agents must …

Abstract “Plastisphere”, microbial communities colonizing plastic debris, has sparked global
concern for marine ecosystems. Microbiome inhabiting this novel human-made niche has …

Black soil is one of the main soil types in northeast China, and plays an important role in
Chinese crop production. However, nitrogen inputs over 50 years have led to reduced black …

Understanding the characteristics of soil microbes responding to benzo [a] pyrene (BaP)
helps to deepen the knowledge of the risks of BaP to soil ecosystem. In this study, the …

Nitrous oxide (N 2 O) production in tropical soils cultivated with sugarcane is associated with
ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) and fungal denitrifiers. However, the taxonomic identities …

The extensive use of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides has negative consequences in terms
of soil microbial biodiversity and environmental contamination. Faced with this growing …

Ocean acidification in nitrogen‐enriched estuaries has raised global concerns. For decades,
biotic and abiotic denitrification in estuarine sediments has been regarded as the major …

The study aimed to investigate how mulching practices can improve soil quality by altering
microbial community composition and the interrelations among its members. The experiment …

Arid ecosystems cover∼ 40% of the Earth's terrestrial surface and store a high proportion of
the global nitrogen (N) pool. They are low-productivity, low-biomass, and polyextreme …
