Chromium, specifically hexavalent chromium is one of the most toxic pollutants that are
released into soils by various anthropogenic activities. It has numerous adverse effects not …

Plant litter decomposition in the soil is governed by microorganisms such as bacteria and
fungi that colonize lignocellulose residues during the decomposition process, and thus, the …

Managing above-ground plant carbon inputs can pave the way toward carbon neutrality and
mitigating climate change. Chemical complexity of plant residues largely controls carbon …

Despite the important roles of soil microbes, especially the most diverse rare taxa in
maintaining community diversity and multifunctionality, how different climate regimes alter …

High nitrogen (N) fertilizer inputs accelerate soil acidification and degradation in tea
plantations, thus posing a threat to soil microbial diversity, species composition, and …

Significant differences in the microbial biomass and diversity in soil have been observed
following long-term fertilization, but little research has explored the co-occurrence patterns …

The addition of residues (maize straw) to soil stimulates microbial activity and significantly
changes the decomposition rates of soil organic matter (SOM), which is referred to as …

Biochar combined with chemical fertilizer have been proven to be effective in improving soil
fertility and crop yield. However, the effects of biochar-based fertilizer on yield, quality of tea …

Soil microbes and their functions play important roles in the sustainable development of
agricultural ecosystems but are vulnerable to climate change and human activity. We …

Organic amendments stimulate carbon (C) mineralization by affecting the soil nutrient
content, soil organic carbon (SOC) chemistry, and microbial community structure, especially …
