Minimizing nitrogen (N) losses and increasing plant N uptake in agroecosystems is a major global challenge. Ecological concepts from (semi)natural gra...

Soil protists play a key role in driving ecological functions through predation and parasitism. However, little is known about how nitrogen (N) deposi...

Microbes play an essential role in soil biogeochemical processes and maintenance of soil nutrients, but not all microbial taxa contribute equally, and...

Crop diversity management is widely used to increase agricultural productivity and sustainability. Recent studies have demonstrated that maize root ex...

Dryland soils consistently exhibit a low capacity for the long-term accumulation and storage of organic matter, which has been primarily attributed to...

Peatland restoration is essential to preserve biodiversity and carbon stored in peat soils. Common restoration techniques such as rewetting do not alw...

The effects of wheat residue placement and chemical fertilizer on microbial biomass, N-mineralization and crop yield were examined in a fallow-rice cv...

Cereal/legume intercropping typically increases crop yield; however, the mechanisms through which soil microbes mediate overyielding in intercropping ...

Metal mining in drylands generates waste tailings with high toxicity, physical instability, as well as water and thermal stresses that hamper their bi...

Wildfires are important natural disturbances with profound ecological impacts. However, our understanding of how to restore plant-soil microbiome inte...
