Phosphorus fertiliser application mitigates the negative effects of microplastic on soil microbes and rice growth.

Soil microplastics (MPs) have attracted widespread attention recently. Most studies have explored how soil MPs affect the soil's physicochemical parameters, matter circulation, and soil microbial community assembly. Similarly, a key concern in agricultural development has been the use of phosphorus (P) fertiliser, which is essential for plant health and development.

Effect of different types of biochar on soil properties and functional microbial communities in rhizosphere and bulk soils and their relationship with CH and NO emissions.

Biochar as an agricultural soil amendment plays vital roles in mediating methane (CH) and nitrous oxide (NO) emissions in soils. The link between different types of biochar, bulk soil, and rhizosphere microbial communities in relation to CH and NO emissions is being investigated in this study. The rice pot experiment was conducted using biochar at two temperatures (300°C and 500°C) in combination with three biochar levels (0, 2, 10% w/w).
