The utilization of phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (PSB) in agriculture has long been proposed as an eco-friendly method to enhance soil phosphorus (P) availability, thereby reducing reliance on chemical P fertilizers. However, their application in saline soils is challenged by salt-induced stress on common PSB strains. In this study, we sourced bacterial strains from marine environments, aiming to identify robust PSB strains adaptable to saline conditions and assess their potential as P bio-fertilizers through a microcosm experiment. Our findings indicate that the inoculation of a selected marine PSB, Bacillus paramycoides 3-1a, increased soil available P content by 12.5% when applied alone and by 61.2% when combined with organic amendments. This enhancement results from improved inorganic P solubilization and organic P mineralization in soils. Additionally, these treatments raised soil nitrogen levels, reshaped microbial community structures, and significantly enhanced wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) growth, with P accumulation increasing by 24.2-40.9%. Our results underscore the potential of marine PSB in conjunction with organic amendments for the amelioration of saline agricultural soils.

Livestock manure, a common fertilizer in Chinese agriculture, can lead to environmental contamination and potential health risks due to elevated antibiotic and phosphorus levels. Importantly, the high phosphorus levels initiates transformations of phosphate minerals in soils, especially calcareous soils. These variations in phosphate mineralogy can significantly impact the migration and fate of antibiotics within the soil.

Ash byproducts have been used as soil amendments to recycle nutrients and modify soil properties such as pH or density. Interest in these practices has continued with increasing emphasis on sustainability, particularly regarding phosphorus reuse from incinerated sewage sludge. Given recent advancements in microbial analyses, the impacts of these practices can now be studied from the soil microbiome perspective.

Phosphorus (P) loss from soils can contribute significantly toward P enrichment in water bodies, impairing water quality. Application of soil amendments is a viable strategy to decrease soluble P in surface soils. Since soluble P is reduced through different mechanisms that are amendment-specific, blended amendments could be a better approach than single amendment applications; however, very little information is available on blended amendment effects in reducing P loss from soils.
