The increasing frequency of extreme weather events highlights the need to understand how soil microbiomes respond such disturbances. Here, metagenomics was used investigate effects future climate scenarios (+0.6 °C warming and altered precipitation) on during summers 2014-2019. Unexpectedly, Central Europe experienced heatwaves droughts 2018-2019, causing significant impacts structure, assembly, function microbiomes. Specifically, relative abundance Actinobacteria (bacteria), Eurotiales...

Abstract As a controversial strategy to mitigate global warming, biochar application into soil highlights the need for life cycle assessment before large‐scale practice. This study focused on effect of carbon footprint rice production. A field experiment was performed with three treatments: no residue amendment (Control), 6 t ha −1 yr corn straw ( CS ) amendment, and 2.4 straw‐derived CBC ). Carbon calculated by considering source processes (pyrolysis energy cost, fertilizer pesticide input,...

The expected increase in global surface temperature due to climate change may have a tremendous effect on the structure and function of anaerobic food web flooded rice field soil. Here, we used metatranscriptomic analysis total RNA gain system-level understanding this methanogenic web. Mesophilic (30 °C) thermophilic (45 communities had modular structure. Family-specific rRNA dynamics indicated that each network module represents particular within webs. Temperature differential all...

Abstract Background The final step in the anaerobic decomposition of biopolymers is methanogenesis. Rice field soils are a major anthropogenic source methane, with straw commonly used as fertilizer rice farming. Here, we aimed to decipher structural and functional responses methanogenic community addition during an extended anoxic incubation (120 days) Philippine paddy soil. research combined process measurements, quantitative real-time PCR RT-PCR particular biomarkers (16S rRNA, mcrA ),...

Soil ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) play a crucial role in converting ammonia to nitrite, thereby mobilizing reactive nitrogen species into their soluble form, with significant impact on losses from terrestrial soils. Yet, our knowledge regarding diversity and functions remains limited. In this study, we reconstructed 97 high-quality AOA metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) 180 soil samples collected Central Germany during 2014-2019 summers. These MAGs were affiliated the order...

Modeling soil organic carbon (SOC) is helpful for understanding its distribution and turnover processes, which can guide the implementation of effective measures (C) sequestration enhance land productivity. Process-based simulation with high interpretability extrapolation, machine learning modeling flexibility are two common methods investigating SOC turnover. To take advantage both methods, we developed a hybrid model by coupling two-carbon pool microbial modeling. Here, assessed model's...

The pioneering plant Pueraria phaseoloides had a strong modulation effect on arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) communities. Irrespective of geographical location, community composition AMF in rhizosphere soil differed from that the root. Co-occurrence network analysis revealed two keystone species (Acaulospora) and roots (Rhizophagus) P. phaseoloides. Arbuscular ensure survival plants by facilitating access to limited resources, particularly degraded ecosystems [1], thereby playing crucial...
