Introduction: Straw return is widely promoted as an environmentally sustainable practice to enhance soil health and agricultural productivity. However, the impact of varying straw return durations on soil microbial community composition and development remains insufficiently understood within a rice-wheat cropping system.

Methods: In this study, soil samples were collected during the wheat and rice harvesting periods following seven straw return durations: no straw return (NR) or 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 years of straw return (SR1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11), and microbial sequencing was performed.

Wetlands, one of the largest source of methane (CH) on Earth, are undergoing extensive disturbance globally, resulting in profound impacts on global changes. This study conducted a comprehensive global meta-analysis of field studies to assess the effects of wetland disturbance on CH emissions and the key factors influencing these changes. Our analysis indicates that while CH emissions generally decrease following wetland disturbance, the global warming potential does not necessarily diminish compared to that of natural wetlands.

Investigating responses of soil greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to vegetation restoration is important for global warming mitigation. On the Loess Plateau, a wide range of vegetation restoration strategies have been implemented to control land degradation. However, the thorough quantification of soil GHG emissions triggered by different modes of vegetation restoration is insufficient.

Cadmium (Cd) pollution has been rapidly increasing due to the global rise in industries. Cd not only harms the ecological environment but also endangers human health through the food chain and drinking water. Therefore, the remediation of Cd-polluted soil is an imminent issue.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study explores the use of perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne) alongside cadmium-tolerant bacteria (Cdq4-2) to enhance the bioremediation of cadmium (Cd)-contaminated soils, focusing on maintaining soil microbiome stability.
  • - Three treatment groups were established: control (no Cd), Cd-contaminated soil (20 mg/kg), and Cd-contaminated soil with Cdq4-2, with all groups planted with ryegrass. Soil analysis on day 60 examined microbial activity, community structure, and relationships between soil variables and plant growth.
  • - Results showed that while Cd stress reduced microbial activity and diversity, adding Cdq4-2 greatly improved several soil

Due to its soil formation process, dryland red soil has certain characteristics that are unfavorable for crop growth, including acidity, fineness, plate structures, and erosivity. The use of large amounts of fertilizer can decrease fertility and biodiversity and increase acidification, thereby seriously restricting the sustainable utilization of dryland red soil resources. Therefore, there is an urgent need for techniques that improve the crop quality and yield in dryland red soil areas.

Article Synopsis
  • Effective hydrological management is essential for successful peatland restoration, influencing soil biological processes.
  • The study examined differences in soil properties, enzyme activities, and bacterial communities across various peatlands in the Changbai Mountains, revealing that natural peatlands (NP) had superior soil quality compared to restored and degraded peatlands.
  • Results indicated that higher soil water levels correlate with improved soil health and biological activity, emphasizing the advantage of maintaining a high water level initially during peatland restoration efforts.

Soil carbon (C) plays a critical role in the global C cycle and has a profound effect on climate change. To obtain an in-depth and comprehensive understanding of global soil C changes and better manage soil C, all meta-analysis results published during 2001-2019 relative to soil C were collected and synthesized. The effects of 33 influencing factors on soil C were analyzed, compared and classified into 5 grades according to their effects on soil C.

Article Synopsis
  • The rhizospheric microbiome plays a crucial role in plant health and productivity, influenced by various environmental factors.
  • The study compared microbiomes associated with wild rice and another plant across different soils and locations in China using advanced sequencing techniques.
  • Findings indicated that site and soil had a greater impact on the microbiome than the type of plant, with plants affecting specific microbial groups like pathogens and symbionts, and showing a stronger influence on fungi compared to bacteria.

The fungicides used to control diseases in cereal production can have adverse effects on non-target microbial communities, with possible consequences for plant health and productivity. Although we know that fungicides affect microbial community structure and soil activities, it is unclear how crop cultivars have altered the impact of fungicides on rhizomicrobiomes. In this study, the rhizosphere bacterial and fungal communities and structures of cultivated crops and their wild relatives were studied by Illumina MiSeq sequencing analysis.

Soil microbes play critical roles in global biogeochemical cycles, but their succession patterns across long temporal scales have rarely been studied. In this study, soil samples were collected from three volcanoes in Wudalianchi, northeastern China: Laoheishan (LH, approximately 240 years old), Dongjiaodebushan (DJ, 0.45-0.
