Soil microbial biomass plays important roles in nutrient cycling, plant–pathogen
suppression, decomposition of residues and degradation of pollutants; therefore, it is often …

Co-inoculation of soybean with Azospirillum brasilense and Bradyrhizobium spp. is an
increasing practice in Brazil, but little is known about the conditions that maximize crop …

Agricultural intensification has increased crop productivity but simplified production and
reduced cropping system diversity. In recent decades, the intensified wheat–maize rotation …

Reduction in soil disturbance can stimulate soil microbial biomass and improve its metabolic
efficiency, resulting in better soil quality, which in turn, can increase crop productivity. In this …

The advantages of no-tillage (NT) over conventional tillage (CT) systems in improving soil
quality are generally accepted, resulting from benefits in soil physical, chemical and …

Soil conservation practices are critical for agricultural sustainability, and in this study the
shotgun sequencing approach was used to investigate the effects on soil biodiversity of …

In the last three decades, the no-tillage system (NT) has provided environmental and
economic advantages for farming in southern Brazil, especially when associated with crop …

Abstract Information about microbial functionality in agricultural soils is still scarce, and in
this study we used a shotgun metagenomic approach to compare different soil [conventional …

Maintenance of soil quality is a key component of agriculture sustainability and a main goal
of most farmers, environmentalists and government policymakers. However, as there are no …

Este trabalho objetivou determinar quais atributos de um Latossolo Vermelho de Cerrado
sob produção orgânica são mais impactados por sistemas de cultivo compostos por feijão e …
