| 1 | Community assemblage of free-living diazotrophs along the elevational gradient of Mount Gongga显示文摘Mountain systems are unique for studying the responses of species distribution and diversity to environmental changes along elevational gradients.It is well known that free-living diazotrophic microorganisms are important to nitrogen cycling in mountain systems.However,the elevational patterns of free-living diazotrophs and the underlying ecological processes in controlling their turnover along broader gradients are less well documented.Here,we investigated the pattern of diazotrophic diversity along the elevational gradient(1800 m-4100 m)in Mount Gongga of China.The results showed that the α-diversity of diazotrophs did not change with the elevation from 1800 m to 2800 m,but decreased at elevations above 3000 m.Such diversity pattern was driven mainly by soil total carbon,nitrogen,and plant richness.Various diazotrophic taxa showed differential abundance-elevation relationships.Ecological processes determining diazotrophic community assemblage shift along the elevations.Deterministic processes were relatively stronger at both low and high elevations,whereas stochastic processes were stronger at the middle elevation.This study also suggested a strong relationship among aboveground plants and diazotrophs,highlighting their potential interactions,even for free-living diazotrophs. | Yansu Wang Chaonan Li Zehao Shen Junpeng Rui Decai Jin Jiabao Li Xiangzhen Li | 2019 | Soil Ecology Letters2019,1,3: | 8 |
| 2 | Soil microbial carbon pump:Mechanism and appraisal显示文摘The soil microbial carbon pump(MCP)conceptualizes a sequestration mechanism based on the process of microbial production of a set of new organic compounds,which carry the carbon from plant,through microbial anabolism,and enter into soil where it can be stabilized by the entombing effect.Understanding soil MCP and its related entombing effect is essential to the stewardship of ecosystem services,provided by microbial necromass in the formation and stabilization of soil organic matter as well as its resilience and vulnerability to global change.The mechanism and appraisal of soil MCP,however,remain to be elucidated.This lack of knowledge hampers the improvement of climate models and the development of land use policies.Here,I overview available knowledge to provide insights on the nature of the soil MCP in the context of two main aspects,i.e.,internal features and external constraints that mechanistically influence the soil MCP operation and ultimately influence microbial necromass dynamics.The approach of biomarker amino sugars for investigation of microbial necromass and the methodological limitations are discussed.Finally,I am eager to call new investigations to obtain empirical data in soil microbial necromass research area,which urgently awaits synthesized quantitative and modeling studies to relate to soil carbon cycling and climate change. | Chao Liang | 2020 | Soil Ecology Letters2020,2,4: | 8 |
| 3 | Dynamic changes in soil chemical properties and microbial community structure in response to different nitrogen fertilizers in an acidified celery soil显示文摘To determine the effects of different kinds of nitrogen fertilizer,especially high-efficiency slowrelease fertilizers,on soil pH,nitrogen(N)and microbial community structures in an acidic celery soil,four treatments(CK,no N fertilizer;NR,urea;PE,calcium cyanamide fertilizer;and SK,controlled-release N fertilizer)were applied,and soil pH,total soil N,inorganic N,and soil microbial biomass C were analyzed.Phospholipid fatty acids(PLFAs)were extracted and detected using the MIDI Sherlock microbial identification system.The PE treatment significantly improved soil pH,from 4.80 to>6.00,during the whole growth period of the celery,and resulted in the highest celery yield among the four treatments.After 14 d application of calcium cyanamide,the soil nitrate content significantly decreased,but the ammonium content significantly increased.The PE treatment also significantly increased soil microbial biomass C during the whole celery growth period.Canonical variate analysis of the PLFA data indicated that the soil microbial community structure in the CK treatment was significantly different from those in the N applied treatments after 49 d fertilization.However,there was a significant difference(P<0.05)in soil microbial community structure between the PE treatment and the other three treatments at the end of the experiment.Calcium cyanamide is a good choice for farmers to use on acidic celery land because it supplies sufficient N,and increases soil pH,microbial biomass and the yield of celery. | Yuping Wu Jiangxing Wu Yongjun Ma Ying Lian Hui Sun Danchao Xie Yaying Li Philip C.Brookes Huaiying Yao | 2019 | Soil Ecology Letters2019,1,3: | 7 |
| 4 | High manure load reduces bacterial diversity and network complexity in a paddy soil under crop rotations显示文摘Long-term application of chemical fertilizers causes soil degradation and nitrogen(N)loss,but these effects could be alleviated by organic fertilizers.In addition,crop rotation is a feasible practice to increase soil fertility,soil quality and crop yields comparing with monocultural cropping patterns.However,questions remain concerning how the soil microbiome responds to different manure application rates under crop rotations.Here,we collected soil samples from a rice-rape system to investigate the response of the soil microbiome to nine years of pig manure application at different rates(CK:0 kg ha^(-1),M1:1930 kg ha^(-1),M2:3860 kg ha^(-1) and M3:5790 kg ha^(-1)).Our results revealed that the bacterialα-diversity(Chao1 and Shannon index)in the rape season increased first and then decreased with increasing manure application rates,and a high manure load tended to decrease the bacterialα-diversity in the rice season.Long-term manure application enriched some copiotrophic bacteria,such as Proteobacteria and Actinobacteria,while it decreased the relative abundance of Nitrospirae.Redundancy analysis(RDA)and the Mantel test indicated that soil pH,TC,TN,AP,C/P and N/P ratios were the main factors influencing bacterial communities.Moreover,network analysis showed that a low manure application rate shaped a complexly connected and stable bacterial community,while higher manure application rate decreased the stability of the bacterial network.These findings improve our understanding of bacterial responses to longterm manure application under crop rotations and their relationships with soil factors,especially in the context of increasing fertilizer inputs. | Haiyang Liu Xing Huang Wenfeng Tan Hongjie Di Jianming Xu Yong Li | 2020 | Soil Ecology Letters2020,2,2: | 6 |
| 5 | Soil fungal community is more sensitive to nitrogen deposition than increased rainfall in a mixed deciduous forest of China显示文摘Nitrogen(N)deposition and intensified rainfall can strongly affect soil microbial community,but compared with available studies on bacteria,those on soil fungi are quite limited.Here we carried out a field experiment in a mixed deciduous forest of China to study the influences of increased N deposition and rainfall on soil fungi by using quantitative PCR and high-throughput sequencing method.The results demonstrated that(1)N addition significantly increased fungal abundance and alpha diversity(richness,Shannon index and Invsimpson index),changed fungal community composition at OTU level,and marginally increased the relative abundance of Ascomycota and Zygomycota,while water addition showed no remarkable effects on fungal abundance,biodiversity and community composition.(2)N addition significantly increased the richness of saprotrophic fungi and pathogenic fungi,and the relative abundance of saprotrophic fungi,but water addition only slightly increased the abundance of pathogenic fungi.(3)Fungal composition dissimilarity closely correlated with the disparity of soil parameters as a whole.Soil NH_(4)^(+)-N exhibited strong positive correlation with the richness of pathogenic fungi and mycorrhizal fungi,while both soil moisture and NH_(4)^(+)-N tightly correlated with soil fungal abundance and alpha diversity indices.We concluded that in this N-limited but non-water-limited forest ecosystem,N deposition posed stronger effects on soil fungi than increased rainfall,partially mediated by changes in soil properties. | Aihua Zhao Lei Liu Baodong Chen Wei Fu Wei Xie Tianle Xu Wei Zhang Qing Ye Haiyan Feng Shenglei Fu | 2020 | Soil Ecology Letters2020,2,1: | 5 |
| 6 | Soil biofilms:microbial interactions,challenges,and advanced techniques for ex-situ characterization显示文摘Soil is inhabited by a myriad of microorganisms,many of which can form supracellular structures,called biofilms,comprised of surface-associated microbial cells embedded in hydrated extracellular polymeric substance that facilitates adhesion and survival.Biofilms enable intensive inter-and intra-species interactions that can increase the degradation efficiency of soil organic matter and materials commonly regarded as toxins.Here,we first discuss organization,dynamics and properties of soil biofilms in the context of traditional approaches to probe the soil microbiome.Social interactions among bacteria,such as cooperation and competition,are discussed.We also summarize different biofilm cultivation devices in combination with optics and fluorescence microscopes as well as sequencing techniques for the study of soil biofilms.Microfluidic platforms,which can be applied to mimic the complex soil environment and study microbial behaviors at the microscale with highthroughput screening and novel measurements,are also highlighted.This review aims to highlight soil biofilm research in order to expand the current limited knowledge about soil microbiomes which until now has mostly ignored biofilms as a dominant growth form. | Peng Cai Xiaojie Sun Yichao Wu Chunhui Gao Monika Mortimer Patricia A.Holden Marc Redmile-Gordon Qiaoyun Huang | 2019 | Soil Ecology Letters2019,1,3: | 4 |
| 7 | Loss of soil microbial diversity exacerbates spread of antibiotic resistance显示文摘Loss of biodiversity is a major threat to the ecosystem processes upon which society depends.Natural ecosystems differ in their resistance to invasion by alien species,and this resistance can depend on the diversity in the system.Little is known,however,about the barriers that microbial diversity provides against microbial invasion.The increasing prevalence of antibioticresistant bacteria is a serious threat to public health in the 21st century.We explored the consequences of the reduction in soil microbial diversity for the dissemination of antibiotic resistance.The relationship between this diversity and the invasion of antibiotic resistance was investigated using a dilution-to-extinction approach coupled with high-capacity quantitative PCR.Microbial diversity was negatively correlated with the abundance of antibiotic-resistance genes,and this correlation was maintained after accounting for other potential drivers such as incubation time and microbial abundance.Our results demonstrate that high microbial diversity can act as a biological barrier resist the spread of antibiotic resistance.These results fill a critical gap in our understanding of the role of soil microbial diversity in the health of ecosystems. | Qing-Lin Chen Xin-Li An Bang-Xiao Zheng Michael Gillings Josep Penuelas Li Cui Jian-Qiang Su Yong-Guan Zhu | 2019 | Soil Ecology Letters2019,1,1: | 4 |
| 8 | Factors that affect the assembly of ground-dwelling beetles at small scales in primary mixed broadleaved-Korean pine forests in north-east China显示文摘Disentangling the relative roles of environmental and spatial processes in community assembly is a major task of community ecology.It is necessary to uncover this question at multiple spatial scales;however,the relative importance of spatial and environmental processes on ground-dwelling beetle assembly at a small scale is still unclear.Based on two permanent plots(each 300 m)located in primary mixed broadleaved-Korean pine forests,the topographic,soil,and plant factors were collected,and the spatial variables(MEMs,distancebased Moran’s eigenvector maps)were calculated.A redundancy analysis(RDA)was used to evaluate the influence of topographic,soil,and plant variables on ground-dwelling beetle compositions.A variation partitioning analysis was used to quantify the relative contributions of environmental and spatial processes on the assembly of ground-dwelling beetles.The results of the RDA reported that the soil,plant,and topographic variables affected Staphylinidae and Silphidae beetle compositions in both plots.According to the results of variation partitioning,pure soil and plant variables were important for the assembly of Silphidae beetles in the LS plot.The contributions of pure topographic,soil,and plant variables were significantly lower than those of pure spatial variables.The contributions of pure spatial variables were significant for the assembly of Staphylinidae and Silphidae beetles in both plots.In addition,the relative importance of environmental and spatial processes was not significantly changed after including more environmental variables and the unexplained variations.Finally,this study suggests that both spatial and environmental variables are important for the assembly of ground-dwelling beetle communities,while pure spatial variables are more important than pure environmental variables at a small scale(300 m). | Meixiang Gao Zhihong Qiao Hongyu Hou Guangze Jin Donghui Wu | 2020 | Soil Ecology Letters2020,2,1: | 3 |
| 9 | Arbuscular mycorrhiza and plant chromium tolerance显示文摘Arbuscular mycorrhizal(AM)fungi are ubiquitous soil fungi that form symbiotic associations with most terrestrial plants.The growth and functions of AM fungi depend on carbohydrates supplied by the plants,in return,the fungi assist the plants to acquire mineral nutrients(e.g.,phosphorus)from soil.The AM symbiosis also improves plant survival in various unfavorable environments,such as metal(loid)contaminated soil.It has been well demonstrated that AM symbiosis improved plant adaptation to Cr contamination,which would have a great potential in phytoremediation and ecological restoration of Cr contaminated soils.In this paper,we have reviewed the role of AM fungi in alleviation of Cr phytotoxicity and associated factors influencing plant Cr tolerance.AM symbiosis improves plant Cr tolerance through its direct roles in Cr stabilization and transformation and indirect roles via AM symbiosis mediated nutrient acquisition and physiological regulation.Future research on physiological and molecular mechanisms underlying Cr behavior and detoxification in AM symbiosis,as well as potential use of AM fungi in ecological restoration and agriculture production in Cr contaminated soils were also proposed. | Songlin Wu Xin Zhang Longbin Huang Baodong Chen | 2019 | Soil Ecology Letters2019,1,3: | 3 |
| 10 | Collembolans accelerate the dispersal of antibiotic resistance genes in the soil ecosystem显示文摘Soils have become an important sink for antibiotic resistance genes(ARGs).To better understand the impacts of ARGs on the soil ecosystem,the transport of ARGs is a basic question.So far,however,the role of soil animals in the dispersal of ARGs is not understood.Here,two treatments(without collembolans and with collembolans)were established,each treatment included unamended and manure-amended soil,and soil samples were collected at 14,28 and 56 days after incubation.The effects of the collembolan Folsomia candida on dispersal of ARGs in the soil ecosystem were explored using high-throughput qPCR combined with Illumina sequencing.As the culture time increased,more shared ARGs and OTUs were detected between the unamended and manured soil,especially in the treatment with collembolans.Vancomycin,aminoglycoside and MLSB genes may have been more readily transported by the collembolan.On the 28th day after incubation,a high abundance of mobile genetic elements(MGEs)was found in the treatment with collembolans.These results clearly reveal that collembolans can accelerate the dispersal of ARGs in the soil ecosystem.Procrustes analysis and the Mantel test both indicate that soil bacterial communities were significantly correlated with ARG profiles.Furthermore,partial redundancy analysis indicates that soil bacterial communities can explain 41.28% of the variation in ARGs.These results suggest that the change of soil microbial community have an important contribution to the dispersal of ARGs by the collembolan. | Dong Zhu Hong-Tao Wang Fei Zheng Xiao-Ru Yang Peter Christie Yong-Guan Zhu | 2019 | Soil Ecology Letters2019,1,1: | 3 |
| 11 | Organic amendment effects on nematode distribution within aggregate fractions in agricultural soils显示文摘To evaluate the effect of organic amendments on soil nematode community composition and diversity within aggregate fractions,a study was initiated in agricultural soils with four-year organic amendments.Soil samples were collected from the plow layer(0-20 cm)under three cornfield management scenarios:1)conventional cropping(CK,corn straw removal and no organic manure application);2)straw retention(SR,incorporation of chopped corn stalk);and 3)manure application(MA,chicken manure input).The soil samples were fractionated into four aggregate sizes,i.e.,>2 mm(large macroaggregates),1-2 mm(macroaggregates),0.25-1 mm(small macroaggregates),and<0.25 mm(microaggregates,silt and clay fractions).The composition and diversity of soil nematode communities were determined within each aggregate fraction.The results showed that both SR and MA treatments significantly increased the percentage of macroaggregates(>1 mm)and only MA treatment strongly increased the mean weight diameter compared to the CK(P<0.05).The abundance of total nematodes and four trophic groups were affected significantly by the aggregate fractions and their higher abundance occurred in the larger aggregates.The effects of aggregate size on most nematode genera were significant.Bacterivores in the small macroaggregates and microaggregates,and fungivores in the large macroaggregates were significantly different among treatments.The percentage of bacterivores increased after the application of organic materials,while that of fungivores decreased.It can be concluded that organic management significantly affects soil aggregation and soil characteristics within aggregates,and the aggregate size subsequently influences the distribution of nematode communities. | Xiaoke Zhang Xia Wu Shixiu Zhang Yuehua Xing Wenju Liang | 2019 | Soil Ecology Letters2019,1,3: | 3 |
| 12 | Soil particle and moisture-related factors determine landward distribution of bacterial communities in a lateral riverside continuum of the Xilin River Basin显示文摘Continuous landscape components along the lateral riverside are affected by both hydrologic connectivity and disconnectivity.In recent years,anthropogenic activities and climate changes have caused wetland shrinkage and land degradation along the lateral riverside of many arid and semiarid regions.Since microorganisms are major drivers of soil biochemical cycling,it is essential to examine soil microbial communities along the lateral landscape continuum to understand their ecosystem functioning and predict future land changes.Here,we collected samples along a lateral riverbed center-riverbed edge-oxbow lake-floodplain-terrace continuum(i.e.,landward distribution)in the Xilin River Basin,Inner Mongolia,China.The floodplain had the highest microbial diversity and heterogeneity,with Bacteroidetes,β-andγ-Proteobacteria being the most abundant taxa.In contrast,the terrace had the lowest microbial diversity and heterogeneity,with Acidobacteria,Actinobacteria,Verrucomicrobia,Gemmatimonadetes,andα-Proteobacteria as the most abundant taxa.Silt particle,salinity,and moisture were the most influential factors for landward variation of bacterial communities along the riverside continuum.Altogether,we demonstrate that dominant bacterial lineages,soil particles,and moisture-related factors are valuable indicators of this continuum,which can be leveraged for the early prediction of drought-induced wetland shrinkage and grassland desertification. | Jingli Yu Jingjing Xia Qiaoli Ma Chi Zhang Ji Zhao Xininigen Tanggood Yunfeng Yang | 2021 | Soil Ecology Letters2021,3,4: | 3 |
| 13 | Soil total organic carbon/total nitrogen ratio as a key driver deterministically shapes diazotrophic community assemblages during the succession of biological soil crusts显示文摘The diazotrophic community in biological soil crusts(biocrusts)is the key supplier of nitrogen in dryland.To date,there is still limited information on how biocrust development influences the succession of diazotrophic community,and what are the most important factors mediating diazotrophic communities during biocrust succession.Using the high throughput nifH amplicon sequencing,the diazotrophs in soils at different developmental stages of biocrust were comparatively studied.The results evidenced the decreases of TOC/TN ratio and pH value with biocrust development.Nostoc and Scytonema were the most dominant diazotrophic genera at all biocrust stages,while Azospirillum and Bradyrhizobium were abundant only in bare soil.Diazotrophic co-occurrence networks tended to be less complex and less connected with biocrust succession.The soil TOC/TN ratio was the most dominant factor mediating diazotrophic diversity,community composition and assembly processes,while diazotrophic-diversity and NO3–-N/NH4+-N ratio were positively correlated with the nitrogenase activity during biocrust succession.This study provided novel understandings of nitrogen fixation and succession patterns of diazotrophic community,by showing the effects of biocrust succession on diazotrophic diversity,community composition,community assembly and co-occurrence networks,and recognizing TOC/TN ratio as the most dominant factor mediating diazotrophs during biocrust succession. | Lin Xu Bingchang Zhang Entao Wang Bingjian Zhu Minjie Yao Chaonan Li Xiangzhen Li | 2021 | Soil Ecology Letters2021,3,4: | 3 |
| 14 | Evaluation methods of heavy metal pollution in soils based on enzyme activities:A review显示文摘Soil enzyme activities have been suggested as suitable indicators for the evaluation of metal contamination because they are susceptible to microbial changes caused by heavy metal stress and are strictly related to soil nutrient cycles.However,there is a growing lack of recognition and summary of the historic advancements that use soil enzymology as the proposal of evaluation methods.Here,we review the most common methods of heavy metal pollution evaluation based on enzyme activities,which include single enzyme index,combined enzyme index,enzyme-based functional diversity index,microbiological stress index,and ecoenzymatic stoichiometry models.This review critically examines the advantages and disadvantages of these methods based on their execution complexity,performance,and ecological implications and gets a glimpse of avenues to come to improved future evaluation systems.Indices based on a single enzyme are variable and have no consistent response to soil heavy metals,and the following three composite indices are characterized by the loss of many critical microbial processes,which thus not conducive to reflect the effects of heavy metals on soil ecosystems.Considering the dexterity of ecoenzymatic stoichiometry methods in reflecting changes in soil functions under heavy metal stress,we propose that microbial metabolic limitations quantified by ecoenzymatic stoichiometry models could be promising indicators for enhancing the reality and acceptance of results and further improving the potential for actual utility in environmental decision-making. | Yongxing Cui Xia Wang Xiangxiang Wang Xingchang Zhang Linchuan Fang | 2021 | Soil Ecology Letters2021,3,3: | 3 |
| 15 | Assessment of soil nematode diversity based on different taxonomic levels and functional groups显示文摘Although soil nematode diversity has been used as an indicator of habitat characteristics and environmental change,the diversity of entire soil nematode communities has not been comprehensively evaluated at different taxonomic levels,or for different functional groups,or at a fine taxonomic level within functional groups.In this study,two taxonomic diversity indices,the Shannon-Wiener index(H′)and Simpson index(l),were used to evaluate the following:1)nematode diversity at different taxonomic levels for the whole community,2)nematode diversity of different functional groups,and 3)nematode generic diversity of functional groups in the following four land-use types:forage land,cropland,secondary forest,and grassshrubland.The results showed that significant differences in nematode diversity among landuse types were detected by assessment at the order level but not at the family or genus level.The results also showed that significant differences in nematode diversity were better revealed by assessment of trophic groups rather than cp groups.The generic diversities(H′)of omnivorous nematodes and cp3 nematodes also significantly differed among land-use types.Our results indicate that diversity at a high taxonomic level(i.e.,order)may be a more useful indicator than diversity at a low taxonomic level(i.e.,family or genus)of differences among land-use types.In addition,the functional group diversity(i.e.,trophic group,cp group,and the combination of these two groups)for the whole community and the taxonomic diversity within functional groups were useful indicators of differences among land-use types. | Jiangnan Li Peiqin Peng Jie Zhao | 2020 | Soil Ecology Letters2020,2,1: | 3 |
| 16 | Changes in the soil microbial communities of different soil aggregations after vegetation restoration in a semiarid grassland,China显示文摘Soil aggregate fractions can regulate microbial community composition and structure after vegetation restoration.However,there has been less focus on the effects of soil aggregate fractions on the distributions of microbial communities.Here,we used phospholipid fatty acid(PLFA)analysis to explore the effects of different years of vegetation restoration(a 35-year-old Thymus mongolicus community(Re-35yrs)and a 2-year-old nongrazing grassland(Ug-2yrs))on microbial communities within different soil aggregate sizes(<0.25 mm,0.25–1 mm,1–2 mm,2–3 mm,3–5 mm and>5 mm).The results indicated that the amount of total PLFA in Re-35yrs was 10 times greater than that in Ug-2yrs.The soil aggregate stability increased with increasing duration of vegetation restoration.In Re-35yrs,the total PLFA shown an increase as the soil aggregate size increased,and the highest values were observed in 3–5 mm.Ug-2yrs differed from Re-35yrs,the soil microbial diversity was higher in medium particle sizes(1–2 mm and 2–3 mm)and lower in microaggregates(<0.25 mm and 0.25–1 mm)and macroaggregates(3–5 mm and>5 mm).Soil microbial diversity was highest in large particle size aggregates,which resulted in low environmental stress and strong stability.The same tendency was observed in the high values of cyc/prec,S/M and soil organic matter,which indicated a lower turnover speed(F/B)of fungal energy utilization and a higher fixation rate.After years of natural restoration,the soil microbial community generally transformed from nutrient-rich to heterotrophdominant,especially in microaggregates(reflected in the G^(+)/G^(–)ratio). | Zhijing Xue Zhengchao Zhou Shaoshan An | 2021 | Soil Ecology Letters2021,3,1: | 3 |
| 17 | Greater promotion of DNRA rates and nrfA gene transcriptional activity by straw incorporation in alkaline than in acidic paddy soils显示文摘Dissimilarity nitrate reduction to ammonium(DNRA)is of significance in agriculture ecosystems as the process is beneficial to N retention in soils.However,how fertilization regimes influence DNRA rates and functional microbes in agriculture was rarely estimated.In the present study,a 2-year pot experiment was conducted in two contrasting paddy soils to evaluate the effects of straw and nitrogen addition on DNRA process and the related functional microbes,using stable isotope tracer and molecular ecology techniques.The results showed that the abundance and transcription activity of nitrite reductase encoding gene(nrfA)involved in DNRA process and DNRA rates were significantly higher in alkaline soils than in acidic soils.Straw incorporation significantly enhanced nrfA gene abundance and transcription activity,with a greater effect in alkaline soil than in acidic soil.The rates of DNRA,abundance and transcription activity of nrfA gene positively correlated to soil C/N and C/NO_(3)^(-) induced by straw application.Sequencing analysis based on nrfA gene transcript showed that Deltaproteobacteria was the most dominant group in both soil types(30.9%-67.4%),while Gammaproteobacteria,Chloroflexi,Actinobacteria were selectively enriched by straw incorporation.These results demonstrated that DNRA activity can be improved by straw return practice in paddy soils while the effect will vary among soil types due to differentiated functional microbial communities and edaphic properties. | Ren Bai Yun-Ting Fang Liu-Ying Mo Ju-Pei Shen Lin-Lin Song Ya-Qi Wang Li-Mei Zhang Ji-Zheng He | 2020 | Soil Ecology Letters2020,2,4: | 2 |

| 19 | Considerable impacts of litter inputs on soil nematode community composition in a young Acacia crassicapa plantation显示文摘Aboveground litter inputs and root exudates provide basal resources for soil communities,however,their relative contributions to soil food web are still not well understood.Here,we conducted a field manipulative experiment to differentiate the effects of litter inputs and living root on nematode community composition of surface and subsoils in a young Acacia crassicapa plantation in southern China.Our results showed that both litter addition and root presence significantly enhanced soil nematode abundance by 17.3%and 35.3%,respectively.Litter addition altered nematode trophic group composition,decreased fungivore to bacterivore ratio,and enhanced maturity index and structure index,which led to a bacterial-based energy channel and a more complex food web structure.However,root presence had a limited impact on the nematode community composition and ecological indices.Despite nematodes surface assembly,soil depth did not affect nematode trophic group composition or ecological index.Our findings highlight the importance of litter inputs in shaping soil nematode community structure and regulating soil energy channel. | CANCAN ZHAO YIN LI CHENLU ZHANG Yuan Miao Mengzhou Liu Wanlin Zhuang Yuanhu Shao Weixin Zhang Shenglei Fu | 2021 | Soil Ecology Letters2021,3,2: | 2 |
| 20 | Microplastic fiber and drought effects on plants and soil are only slightly modified by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi显示文摘Microplastics are increasingly recognized as a factor of global change. By altering soil inherentproperties and processes, ripple-on effects on plants and their symbionts can be expected.Additionally, interactions with other factors of global change, such as drought, can influence theeffect of microplastics. We designed a greenhouse study to examine effects of polyester microfibers,arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi and drought on plant, microbial and soil responses. We found thatpolyester microfibers increased the aboveground biomass of Allium cepa under well-watered anddrought conditions, but under drought conditions the AM fungal-only treatment reached the highestbiomass. Colonization with AM fungi increased under microfiber contamination, however, plantbiomass did not increase when both AM fungi and fibers were present. The mean weight diameter ofsoil aggregates increased with AM fungal inoculation overall but decreased when the system wascontaminated with microfibers or drought stressed. Our study adds additional support to themounting evidence that microplastic fibers in soil can affect the plant–soil system by promoting plantgrowth, and favoring key root symbionts, AM fungi. Although soil aggregation is usually positivelyinfluenced by plant roots and AM fungi, and microplastic promotes both, our results show that plasticstill had a negative effect on soil aggregates. Even though there are concerns that microplastic mightinteract with other factors of global change, our study revealed no such effect for drought. | Anika Lehmann Eva FLeifheit Linshan Feng Joana Bergmann Anja Wulf Matthias C.Rillig | 2022 | Soil Ecology Letters2022,4,1: | 2 |
