Soil microbiota play a critical role in soil biogeochemical processes and have profound effect on functions. Recent studies revealed microbial co-occurrence patterns communities, yet the geographic pattern of topological features networks at continental scale are largely unknown. Here, we investigated shifts inferred from along eastern China. Integrating archaeal, bacterial fungal community datasets, meta-community network analyzed node-level network-level associated with five climatic...
Microorganisms play an important role in soil phosphorus (P) cycling and regulation of P availability agroecosystems. However, the responses functional ecological traits P-transformation microorganisms to long-term nutrient inputs are largely unknown. This study used metagenomics investigate changes relative abundance microbial genes at four experimental sites that received various N nutrients (up 39 years). Long-term input increased immobilization by decreasing P-starvation response gene...
Abstract Soil microorganisms play crucial roles in soil nutrient cycling, carbon sequestration, fertility maintenance and crop health production. To date, the responses of microorganisms, such as microbial activity, diversity, community structure cycling processes, to biochar addition have been widely reported. However, relationships between groups (bacteria, fungi microscopic fauna) physicochemical properties not summarized. In this review, we conclude that affects growth, diversity...
The relationship between metallic micronutrients and soil microorganisms, thereby functioning, has been little explored. Here, we investigate the (Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn, Mo Ni) abundance, diversity function of microbiomes. In a survey across 180 sites in China, covering wide range conditions structure microbiome are highly correlated with micronutrients, especially Fe, followed by Cu Zn. These results robust to controlling for pH, which is often reported as most important predictor microbiome. An...
The biogeochemical coupling of soil carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus (C-N-P) cycles is crucial for maintaining the ecological balance boreal forests. Yet, current understanding wildfire disturbance only based on changes in elemental contents, thereby lacking any within-ecosystem corroboration coupling. Here, we conducted a field survey microbial functional associations 53 genes related to C-N-P cycling from 17 locations spanning 30 year succession period after high-severity forest fires...
The natural forest ecosystem in Eastern China, from tropical to boreal forest, has declined due cropland development during the last 300 years, yet little is known about historical biogeographic patterns and driving processes for major domains of microorganisms along this continental-scale vegetation gradient. We predicted soil archaeal, bacterial, fungal communities across 110 sites a transect four zones China. distance decay relationships demonstrated distinct communities. While mainly...
Diversity and community composition of soil microorganisms along the elevation climosequences have been widely studied, while microbial metabolic potential, particularly in regard to carbon (C) cycling, remains unclear. Here, a metagenomic analysis C related genes five elevations ranging from 767 4190 m at Mount Kilimanjaro was analysed evaluate organic transformation capacities various ecosystems. The highest gene abundances for decomposition moderate mineralizable compounds, i.e....
ABSTRACT Microbial life-history strategies [inferred from ribosomal RNA operon ( rrn ) gene copy numbers] and associated genomic traits metabolism potentials in soil significantly influence ecosystem properties functions globally. Yet, the differences microbial between disturbed (cropland) pristine soils, along with their dominant driving factors, remain underexplored. Our large-scale survey of 153 sites, including 84 croplands 69 combined long-term field experiments demonstrates that...
In China, it is critical to develop new soil amendments decrease acidity because of the severe acidification problems that exist. present study, effects biochars derived from different feedstocks on pH, N transformation, and pH buffering in three acid soils mechanisms changes these parameters were examined. Soil had stabilized by Day 100, biochar addition increased 0.5 1 units at 1% incorporation rate 2 3%, respectively, 180 d incubation. The additions determined both alkalinity (excess...
