Cover crops (CCs) can increase soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration by providing
additional OC residues, recruiting beneficial soil microbiota, and improving soil aggregation …

Soil microorganisms play key roles in agricultural ecosystems. However, little is known
about their dynamic diversity patterns and community assembly processes, especially in the …

Melatonin is effective in modulating metabolism and regulating growth and development in
many plants under biotic and abiotic stress. However, there is no systematic quantification of …

Understanding the dynamics of soil microbial communities responsible for soil element
cycling is vital to understanding organic amendments' mechanisms in agricultural soil …

Cover crops may improve soil health and increase soil carbon sequestration, thus
contributing to both the adaptation to and mitigation of climate change. Despite these …

Some European countries are exploring the idea of replacing dedicated crops with energy
cover crops for biogas production. Indeed, energy cover crops can generate consequential …
