Along the 368-591 mm precipitation gradient, 7 survey sites, i.e. a total 63 investigated plots were selected. At each sites, woodland, grassland, and cropland with similar restoration age were selected to investigate soil organic carbon distribution in surface soil (0-30 cm), and the influence of factors, e.g. climate, soil depth, and land uses, on soil organic carbon distribution were analyzed. The result showed that, along the precipitation gradient, the grassland (8.70 g . kg-1) > woodland (7.88 g . kg-1) > farmland (7.73 g . kg-1) in concentration and the grassland (20.28 kg . m-2) > farmland (19.34 kg . m-2) > woodland (17.14 kg . m-2) in density. The differences of soil organic carbon concentration of three land uses were not significant. Further analysis of pooled data of three land uses showed that the surface soil organic carbon concentration differed significantly at different precipitation levels (P<0.00 1). Significant positive relationship was detected between mean annual precipitation and soil organic carbon concentration (r=0.838, P<0.001) in the of pooled data. From south to north (start from northernmost Ordos), i.e. along the 368-591 mm precipitation gradient, the soil organic carbon increased with annual precipitation 0. 04 g . kg-1 . mm-1, density 0.08 kg . m-2 . mm-1. The soil organic carbon distribution was predicted with mean annual precipitation, soil clay content, plant litter in woodland, and root density in farmland.

Comprehending the interplay between the microbial communities of bulk soil (BS) and rhizosphere soil (RS) holds crucial significance in maintaining soil health and fertility, as well as enhancing crop quality. Our research focused on examining these microbial communities in BS and RS of Acanthopanax senticosus, along with their correlation with soil nutrients, across three distinct habitats in Yichun, Heilongjiang Province. To achieve this, we employed high-throughput sequencing technology, specifically targeting the 16S and amplicon regions.

Layered double hydroxide intercalated with mercaptosuccinic acid (MSA-CFA) holds considerable promise for remediating cadmium (Cd)-contaminated soils through selective immobilization; however, its stability under acidic conditions has yet to be investigated. The acidic stability of MSA-CFA was investigated by acid stability investigation and simulated soil acidification. In the immersion test, the cadmium dissolution rate (DR) for the Cd immobilized products of MSA-CFA (MSA-CFA-Cd) was significantly lower (2.

Composting organic waste is a sustainable recycling method in agricultural systems, yet the microbial preferences for different substrates and their influence on composting efficiency remain underexplored. Here, 210 datasets of published 16S ribosomal DNA amplicon sequences from straw and manure composts worldwide were analyzed, and a database of 278 bacterial isolates was compiled. Substrate-driven microbiome variations were most prominent during the initial composting stages.

Heavy metal (HM) contamination poses significant global environmental threats, impacting ecosystems, public health, and sustainable development. Fungi, as eco-friendly alternatives to chemical treatments, have the potential to reduce HM bioavailability in contaminated soils while promoting plant growth. However, current fungal remediation methods face limitations in efficiency, long-term effectiveness, and the ability to address combined contamination, particularly with naturally occurring strains.
