Interaction between soil nutrients and microorganisms makes great contributions to soil quality in mining spoils of fragile ecological environment. While this was not very clear in opencast mine area located in western China. Based on an emerging tool of high-throughput sequencing and a comprehensive analysis method, canonical correlation analysis (CCA), the relationship between microorganisms dominant species and soil nutrients in mined areas located in Loess Plateau of China was studied. The results showed that soil and microbes both developed a lot after reclamation. Mean concentration of soil organic matter (SOM) and total phosphorus (TP) were higher than background value of chestnut soil, while total nitrogen (TN) and total potassium (TK) were lower than that. Soil nutrients and microorganisms in research areas were strongly correlated with each other. SOM, TN, TP, available phosphorus (AP) of soil system and Actinobacteria, Acidobacteria, Bacteroidetes of dominant bacterial species were closely related. Relevant efficient measures should be taken to store soil nutrients thus to activate bacterial performance for sustainable development.

Managing plastic waste is one of the greatest challenges humanity faces in the coming years. Current strategies-landfilling, incineration, and recycling-remain insufficient or pose significant environmental concerns, failing to address the growing volume of plastic residues discharged into the environment. Recently, increasing attention has focused on the potential of certain insect larvae species to chew, consume, and partially biodegrade synthetic polymers such as polystyrene and polyethylene, offering novel biotechnological opportunities for plastic waste management.

The imbalanced soil nutrient status caused by the long-term monoculture of flue-cured tobacco are a concern. The tobacco-maize relay intercropping, widely used in Yunnan, may improve soil nutrients by enhancing the soil microbial community, but this remains unexplored. This study employed high-throughput sequencing technology to examine soil microbial diversity under tobacco monoculture and tobacco-maize relay intercropping, using the varieties Hongda and K326, respectively.

In this study, the improvement effect of different organic substances on compacted cohesive soil in southern Xinjiang was discussed, with emphasis on the influence of different organic substances on soil chemical properties and microorganisms, so as to determine the best carbon source input and provide theoretical support for the rational utilization of organic materials in southern Xinjiang. Field experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of farm fertilizer, biochar, commercial organic fertilizer, microbial fertilizer and mineral potassium humate on physical and chemical properties of viscous soil, agronomic properties and yield of cotton, with three gradients for each organic fertilizer. The results showed that: (1) all organic fertilizers improved soil structure, among which farm fertilizer significantly reduced soil bulk density and salinity, increased soil organic matter, total nitrogen and available nutrients, and thus increased cotton height, stem diameter and yield.

Nano-selenium fertilizers can promote plant growth and nitrogen availability. However, little information is available on the effects of nano-selenium on tea leaf quality, soil nutrient availability and associated microbe-driven mechanisms. This study examined the effects of nano-selenium on the tea leaf quality and soil nitrogen cycling in 20-year-old tea plantations when the leaves were sprayed with ammonium or nitrate.

Background: Incorporating organic manure improves soil properties and crop productivity. A long-term study started in October 1967 examined the effects of farmyard manure and nitrogen fertilization on the soil at key growth stages of pearl millet in a pearl millet-wheat cropping system over its 51st cycle.
Results: Applying 15 Mg of farmyard manure (FYM) per hectare in both growing seasons significantly boosted soil organic carbon (SOC), dissolved organic carbon (DOC), and key nutrients compared to one-season application.
