Microbial network complexity is an important indicator for assessing the effectiveness of vegetation restoration. However, response microbial bacteria and fungi to different restoration types unclear. Therefore, in this study, we selected four ( Pinus sylvestris var. mongholica , Larix principis- rupprechtii Populus tomentosa Ulmus pumila ), while nature grassland as a control, Zhangjiakou Tunken Forest Farm, which typical agricultural pastoral ecotone northern China, investigate soil diversity types. Our result showed that bacterial Shannon Chao indices P. were significantly 7.77 22.39% higher than those 20–40 cm layer, respectively. The fungal U. 85.70 146.86% 40–60 Compared natural grassland, networks became more complex plantation forests L. ). increased with carbon nitrogen. suitable planting Zhangjiakou, because its high carbon, nitrogen complexity.

Amidst escalating climate challenges, understanding microbe-mediated plant growth regulation and stress resilience is pivotal for sustainable agriculture. Non-pathogenic microbes, which reside in the phyllosphere, rhizosphere, as endophytes or epiphytes, play crucial roles enabling plants to withstand climate-induced stresses such extreme temperatures, drought, salinity, shifting pathogen dynamics. These microbial symbionts enhance nutrient availability, alter physiological responses, contribute significantly adaptive metabolism health. This review delves into multifaceted interactions between focusing on biochemical enzymatic exchanges that govern immune responses defense signaling under environmental stresses. Recent research highlights plant-associated microbes a 'second functional genome,' diverse structure function, essential resilience. We critically examine contributions alleviating abiotic stressors, highlighting factors diversity, ecosystem compatibility, role of synthetic consortia climate-adapted The emergence novel pathogenic strains due fluctuations mitigating these threats are also discussed. Furthermore, we assess potential axenic cultures enhancing fluctuating environments, while acknowledging gap controlled lab findings broader field applications. Concluding with integrating multi-omic approaches, this underscores importance unraveling complex plant-microbe develop strategies supporting resilient climate-adaptive agricultural systems.

Soil health is crucial for global food production in the context of an ever-growing population. Microbiomes, a combination microorganisms and their activities, play pivotal role by biodegrading contaminants, maintaining soil structure, controlling nutrients' cycles, regulating plant responses to biotic abiotic stresses. Microbiome-based solutions along soil-plant continuum, scaling up from laboratory experiments field applications, hold promise enhancing agricultural sustainability harnessing power microbial consortia. Synthetic communities, i.e., selected consortia, are designed perform specific functions. In contrast, natural communities leverage indigenous populations that adapted local conditions, promoting ecosystem resilience, reducing reliance on external inputs. The identification indicators requires holistic approach. It fundamental current understanding status providing comprehensive assessment sustainable land management practices conservation efforts. Recent advancements molecular technologies, such as high-throughput sequencing, revealed incredible diversity microbiomes. On one hand, metagenomic sequencing allows characterization entire genetic composition microbiomes, examination functional potential ecological roles; other culturomics-based approaches metabolic fingerprinting offer complementary information snapshots activities both
