Abstract The flux of methane ( CH 4 ) from inland waters to the atmosphere has a profound impact on global atmospheric greenhouse gas GHG levels, and yet, strikingly little is known about dynamics controlling sources sinks in aquatic setting. Here, we examine cycling six large rivers A mazon basin, including R iver. Based stable isotopic mass balances , inputs outputs water column were estimated. We determined that ecosystem oxidation MOX reduced diffusive by approximately 28–96% varied...
We evaluated the bacterial and archaeal community dynamics assembly in soils under forest, grassland no-till cropping, using a high-throughput shotgun metagenomics approach. No significant alterations alpha diversity were observed among different land uses, but beta was lower than that forest soils. Grassland communities showed predominantly followed neutral model, i.e. high homogenizing selection with moderate dispersion, leading to biotic homogenization. Both soil found have niche low...
Deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon occurs at an alarming rate, which has broad effects on global greenhouse gas emissions, carbon storage, and biogeochemical cycles. In this study, soil metagenomes metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) were analyzed for alterations to microbial community composition, functional groups, putative physiology as it related land-use change tropical soil. A total of 28 MAGs assembled encompassing 10 phyla, including both dominant rare biosphere lineages....
Abstract For the last 150 years many studies have shown importance of earthworms for plant growth, but exact mechanisms involved in process are still poorly understood. Many important functions required growth can be performed by soil microbes rhizosphere. To investigate earthworm influence on rhizosphere microbial community, we a macrocosm experiment with and without Pontoscolex corethrurus (EW+ EW−, respectively) followed various processes 217 days sugarcane. In EW+ treatments, N 2 O...
The conversion of native forest to agriculture is the main cause microbial biodiversity loss in Amazon soils. In order better understand this effect, we used metagenomics investigate patterns and functions bulk soil rhizosphere soybean, a long-term forest-to-agriculture conversion. Long-term led homogenization diversity both rhizosphere, mainly driven by decreasing aluminum concentration increased cations saturation soil, due liming fertilization no-till cropping. Data revealed that cropping...
O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar os efeitos do uso de plantas cobertura e sistemas preparo solo, no desenvolvimento na produtividade da cultura mandioca (Manihot esculenta Crantz). conduzido em Argissolo Vermelho, sob sistema convencional cultivo mínimo sobre palhada mucuna-cinza (Stizolobium cinereum Piper & Tracy), sorgo granífero [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] milheto [Pennisetum americanum K. Schum.]. Aos dezoito meses após o plantio mandioca, foram avaliados: altura plantas,...
O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o efeito do sistema de integração lavoura-pecuária (ILP) nos principais grupos da macrofauna invertebrada solo e a relação destes organismos com os atributos físicos químicos solo. Foram comparados: manejo convencional, lavoura-pecuária, plantio direto, pastagem cultivada continuamente fragmentos naturais Cerrado floresta semidecídua. experimento conduzido em Dourados, MS, um Latossolo Vermelho distroférrico típico, disposto faixas. A maior densidade,...
The Amazonian floodplain forests are dynamic ecosystems of great importance for the regional hydrological and biogeochemical cycles function as a significant CH4 source contributing to global carbon balance. Unique geochemical factors may drive microbial community composition and, consequently, affect emissions across areas. Here, we report in situ cycling communities sediments. We considered how abiotic more specifically, groups. collected sediment samples during wet dry seasons from three...

Abstract Purpose Nitrogen fertilizer management is an important agricultural tool that must be optimized to promote sustainable practices since the nitrogen-fertilizer recovery by plants (NRP) low, leading nitrogen losses environment. In sugarcane, N-fertilization has been investigated over years but little attention given N-fertilizer application methods. Sugarcane crop production and environmental impact regarding methods (i.e., applied onto sugarcane straw layer incorporated into soil)...
This study aimed to evaluate the effect of availability sugar cane residues on epigeic invertebrate fauna. The evaluations were made after harvest f, considering three levels residues: 0% (total removal from soil surface), 50% (removal half waste in plots, dry mass 7.6 Mg ha-1) and 100% (keeping track produced, 16.9 ha-1). A fragment native vegetation region, located close crop, was evaluated for comparison. experimental plots arranged a randomized block design with eight replications. Each...
Abstract The competence center InBioVeritas was founded in 2007 with the vision to integrate competences for ecological and socioeconomic research, sustainable land management biodiversity conservation southern Mata Atlântica. Originating from a successful partnership recently terminated Brazilian-German research project (SOLOBIOMA), it is based on long experience strong commitment of its members. It concerned region Atlantic Forest where largest forest remnants are found protection areas...

Unique geochemical factors may drive microbial community composition and, consequently, affect CH 4 emissions across areas. Here we first report in situ seasonal dynamics cycling communities floodplains. We asked how abiotic both overall further investigated their responses changes. collected...
Knowledge of the effect a multiple combination summer/winter crop rotation on microbiological properties soil would allow more adequate response to its use. This study aimed evaluate three summer crops (continuous soybean, continuous maize and soybean/maize rotation) in with seven winter (maize, sunflower, oilseed radish, millet, pigeon pea, sorghum sunn hemp) soil. A (SM) had greater influence microbial biomass than (MM) soybean (SS). Urease phosphatase activities were not affected by...
