Soil health is defined as the capacity of soil to function, within ecosystem boundaries, sustain crop and animal productivities, maintain or enhance environmental sustainability, improve human worldwide. In agro-ecosystems, can change due anthropogenic activities, such preferred cropping practices intensive land-use management, which further impact functions. Previous assessment in agriculture mostly relates eco-functions that are integrated with non-biological properties nutrients...
Abstract Mangrove roots harbor a repertoire of microbial taxa that contribute to important ecological functions in mangrove ecosystems. However, the diversity, function, and assembly root-associated communities along continuous fine-scale niche remain elusive. Here, we applied amplicon metagenome sequencing investigate bacterial fungal among four compartments (nonrhizosphere, rhizosphere, episphere, endosphere) roots. We found different distribution patterns for both all root compartments,...
Anthropogenic interventions play a key role in promoting positive feedback of soil–plant–environment interactions, but systematic reports on how anthropogenic activities influence soil physiochemical, microorganism-induced properties and health are still limited. Here, we assessed the impact interventions, including crop diversification rotations, physical disturbance, synthetic chemical inputs, biofertilizer use microbial community structure function, consequential effects agroecosystem...
Summary Microbial sulfate reduction and sulfur oxidation are vital processes to enhance organic matter degradation in sediments. However, the diversity composition of sulfate‐reducing bacteria (SRB) sulfur‐oxidizing (SOB) their environmental driving factors still poorly understood aquaculture ponds, which received mounting matter. In this study, bacterial communities, SRB SOB from sediments ponds with different sizes grass carp ( Ctenopharyngodon idellus ) were analysed using high‐throughput...
Including pulse crops in cereal-based cropping systems has become a widely accepted and useful agronomic practice to increase crop diversification biologically fixed nitrogen agroecosystems. However, there is lack of knowledge regarding how the intensification pulses rotations influence soil microbial communities. In this study, we used an amplicon sequencing approach examine bulk rhizosphere bacterial fungal communities from wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.) phase (final year 4 years rotations)...
Understanding the functional diversity relationship between biomass and plants is a key issue in biodiversity–ecosystem functionality utility of grassland. We conducted five-year mowing experiment to examine effects frequency on biomass, plant species, natural community semiarid region Inner Mongolia. A secondary objective was test whether unmowed refuge areas within plots would mitigate disturbance effect mowing. The result showed that reduced by greatest amount with once every year (M1)...
Forage cover crops are gaining in popularity on the Canadian prairies, where multi-species crop mixtures grown for soil and ecosystem enhancing benefits, but also harvested forage. As use of these forage increases, more knowledge is needed to understand impact have production systems. The objective this study was determine effects increasing plant species diversity productivity, chemistry, microbial communities. Field trials were conducted 2016 2017 at two separate locations Prairie region...
Lentils are one of the most common legume crops used to diversify cereal-oilseed cropping system in semi-arid environments. a major source protein and fiber for human consumption worldwide. However, morphological characteristics lentil plants—such as short stem low pod positioning—and complicated combine harvesting methods often result yield loss. This also increases susceptibility crop disease render it less competitive against weeds. As result, producers have resorted using pesticides...
The application of organic amendments to saline-alkaline soil has been recommended as an agricultural strategy improve crop productivity and health. However, there limited research on how amendment strategies affect the health oats their associated rhizosphere fungal communities in conditions. Thus, objectives this study were understand effects oat cultivars with contrasting tolerances different plant morphologies, root exudates (soluble sugars acids), a environment. Experiments conducted...
