To clarify the relationships between soil microorganisms and soil fertility under the condition of long-term fertilization, a 12-year fertilization experiment was installed on a fluvo-aquic soil, and the amount of soil microorganisms and the content of soil nutrients were determined and analyzed. The results showed that chemical fertilizers combined with organic manure could significantly improve soil fertility and increase the amount of soil microorganisms. Organic manure was obviously superior to corn straw in improving soil fertility. The correlation between soil microorganisms and soil fertility was significant. A positive correlation was found between the amount of bacteria and azotobacteria and the contents of organic matter, total N, alkalified N, total P and available P. The relationship between the amount of fungi and actinomycetes and the content of soil nutrients was not obvious.

Introduction: Crop rotation of tobacco with other crops could effectively break the negative impact of continuous tobacco cropping, but the mechanisms of intercropping system effects on tobacco, especially on the rhizosphere, are not clear.
Methods: In this study, we investigated the impact of intercropping system on the diversity and function of tobacco metabolites and microorganisms through metabolomic and metagenomic analyses of the tobacco rhizosphere microenvironment intercropped with maize and soybean.
Results: The results showed that the contents of huperzine b, chlorobenzene, and P-chlorophenylalanine in tobacco rhizosphere soils differed significantly among soybean-tobacco and maize-tobacco intercropping system.
Plant roots form associations with both beneficial and pathogenic soil microorganisms. While members of the rhizosphere microbiome can protect against pathogens, the mechanisms are poorly understood. We hypothesized that the ability to form a robust biofilm on the root surface is necessary for the exclusion of pathogens; however, it is not known if the same biofilm formation components required are necessary WCS365 is a beneficial strain that is phylogenetically closely related to an opportunistic pathogen N2C3 and confers robust protection against N2C3 in the rhizosphere.

Phthalic acid esters are widely used worldwide as plasticizers. The high consumption of phthalates in China makes it the world's largest plasticizer market. The lack of phthalic acid ester's chemical bonding with the polymer matrix facilitates their detachment from plastic products and subsequent release into the environment and causes serious threats to the health of living organisms.

This study investigates the biosynthesis of iron oxide nanoparticles (FeONPs) using the cell-free supernatant of Pseudomonas fluorescens. The synthesized FeONPs were characterized through UV-VIS, XRD, FTIR, FESEM, EDX, TEM, BET, and VSM analyses. The XRD results confirmed that FeONPs were successfully synthesized and EDX analysis indicated that iron accounted for 89.

The cadmium (Cd) in saline-alkali soil poses a serious threat to the ecological environment and human health. , as a hyperaccumulator plant, can remediate Cd in saline-alkali soil, but the efficiency of phytoremediation is low. To improve the remediation effect of Cd pollution in saline-alkali soil, this study for the first time uses the synergy of hydrogel and for the remediation of Cd in saline-alkali soil.
