Land-use intensity alters networks between biodiversity, ecosystem functions, and services

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Journal Year: 2020, Volume and Issue: 117(45), P. 28140 - 28149

Published: Oct. 22, 2020

Significance Ecosystem services derive from ecosystem functions and rely on complex interactions among a diversity of organisms. By understanding the relationships between biodiversity, functions, humans receive nature, we can anticipate how changes in land use will affect ecosystems human wellbeing. We show that increasing land-use intensity homogenizes synergies three organizational levels ecosystem, namely, services. Increasing keystone components, which are important for functioning alters trade-offs Our approach provides comprehensive view identify key attributes to monitor order prevent critical shifts ecosystems.

Manure management and soil biodiversity: Towards more sustainable food systems in the EU

Agricultural Systems, Journal Year: 2021, Volume and Issue: 194, P. 103251 - 103251

Published: Sept. 8, 2021

In the European Union (EU-27) and UK, animal farming generated annually more than 1.4 billion tonnes of manure during period 2016–2019. Of this, 90% is directly re-applied to soils as organic fertiliser. Manure promotes plant growth, provides nutritious food soil organisms, adds genetic functional diversity improves chemical physical properties. However, it can also cause pollution by introducing toxic elements (i.e., heavy metals, antibiotics, pathogens) contribute nutrient losses. Soil organisms play an essential role in transformation into degradation any potential constitutes; however, management practices often neglect biodiversity. this review, we explored impact from farmed animals on biodiversity considering factors that determine effects vice versa. By evaluating manure's enhance biodiversity, but its environmental risks, assessed current future EU policy legislations with ultimate aim providing recommendations enable a sustainable farm manures. This review relationship between 407 published papers relevant legislative provisions. addition, evaluated whether benefits risks are considered management. Thereafter, analysed legislation manure, important driver for treatment, application storage. found coupling mitigate present risks.

Core phylotypes enhance the resistance of soil microbiome to environmental changes to maintain multifunctionality in agricultural ecosystems

Global Change Biology, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 28(22), P. 6653 - 6664

Published: Aug. 13, 2022

Agricultural ecosystems are facing increasing environmental changes. Revealing ecological stability of belowground organisms is key to developing management strategies that maintain agricultural ecosystem services in a changing world. Here, we collected soils from adjacent pairs maize and rice fields along large spatial scale across Eastern Southeast China investigate the importance core microbiota as predictor resistance soil microbiome (e.g. bacteria, fungi protist) climate changes nutrient fertilization, their effect on multiple functions, representing for crop growth health agro-ecosystems. Soil exhibited stronger than soils, by considering aspects index, example, community, phylogenetic conservation network complexity. Community showed geographic pattern, with higher at lower latitudes, suggesting warmer regions. Particularly, highlighted role phylotypes enhancing community microbiome, which was essential maintenance multifunctionality ecosystems. Our results represent significant advance linking therefore forecasting agro-ecosystems dynamics response ongoing These suggest should be considered factor sustainability productivity under global change scenarios.

Grassland degradation-induced declines in soil fungal complexity reduce fungal community stability and ecosystem multifunctionality

Soil Biology and Biochemistry, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 176, P. 108865 - 108865

Published: Oct. 29, 2022

Soil microorganisms are major regulators of ecosystem functioning and under threat from human-induced disturbances. Among these threats is grassland degradation, which estimated to affect 49% the area worldwide, threatening biodiversity functioning. Yet, we currently lack an understanding how degradation influences belowground microbial communities, their stability, functioning, effective restoration efforts for recovery important properties. Here, assessed soil fungal network complexity a suite functions along well-characterised gradient on Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, conducted accompanying microcosm experiment designed test effects stability in communities. We found that with increasing levels communities became less complex were compositionally stable when confronted drought laboratory conditions. Moreover, this degradation-induced reduction community was associated lower multifunctionality. However, multifunctionality failed recover even after ten years restoration. Our results indicate simplification can potentially impair multifunctionality, thereby highlighting need protect restore healthy grasslands • Grassland resulted drought. Degradation-induced Fungal

Acidification suppresses the natural capacity of soil microbiome to fight pathogenic Fusarium infections

Nature Communications, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 14(1)

Published: Aug. 22, 2023

Soil-borne pathogens pose a major threat to food production worldwide, particularly under global change and with growing populations. Yet, we still know very little about how the soil microbiome regulates abundance of their impact on plant health. Here combined field surveys experiments investigate relationships properties structure function contrasting health outcomes. We find that acidification largely impacts bacterial communities reduces capacity soils combat fungal pathogens. In vitro assays microbiomes from acidified further highlight declined ability suppress Fusarium, globally important pathogen. Similarly, when inoculate healthy plants an microbiome, show greatly reduced prevent pathogen invasion. Finally, metagenome sequencing untargeted metabolomics reveals down regulation genes associated synthesis sulfur compounds reduction key traits related metabolism in acidic soils. Our findings suggest changes disruption specific microbial processes induced by can play critical role for
