Article Synopsis
- Rising levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO) and ozone (O) are significant contributors to global climate change, impacting soil health and ecosystem services.
- A study simulated increased CO and O concentrations in soil and revealed that elevated CO boosted β-D-Glucosidase activity while reducing other enzyme activities, and elevated O also decreased specific enzyme activities, showing their detrimental effects on soil functions.
- Overall, the research indicates that climate change negatively affects soil ectoenzyme activities, which could threaten soil ecosystem services and agricultural productivity, highlighting the need for effective climate action.
Article Synopsis
- * Dominant bacterial groups identified were Acidobacteria, Proteobacteria, and Actinobacteria, and while diversity and richness were similar across tree species, organic matter and soil properties played key roles in community composition.
- * The research found that tree species significantly influenced the abundance of ammonia-oxidizing microorganisms, particularly that ammonia-oxidizing archaea were linked to soil nitrate levels, indicating their crucial role in nitrification processes in these forests.
