Excessive use of chemical fertilizers negatively impacts crop productivity and farmland ecosystem, impeding sustainable agricultural progress. Consequently, there is an immediate need for a fertilizer reduction strategy that ensures improves soil quality the ecological environment farmland. This study implemented three-year (2018–2020) field experiment with two methods (direct organic substitution) to investigate their effects on wheat productivity, quality, heavy metal pollution risk microbial characteristics. The results showed substitution treatments (OF1, OF2 OF3) improved most plant (nutrient uptake yield its components) properties (soil nutrients carbon nitrogen fractions), leading increased index (CPI, by 9.18 %-16.39 % 14.14 %-23.36 %) (SQI, 84.67 %-138.86 104.11 %-175.91 compared conventional fertilization (CF) direct (RF1, RF2 RF3) in 2019 2020.

Global changes can alter plant inputs from both above- and belowground, which, thus, may differently affect soil carbon microbial communities. However, the general patterns of how input them in forests remain unclear. By conducting a meta-analysis 3193 observations 166 experiments worldwide, we found that alterations aboveground litter and/or root had profound effects on communities forest ecosystems. Litter addition stimulated organic (SOC) pools biomass, whereas removal litter, roots or (no inputs) decreased them. The increased SOC under suggested benefit sequestration despite accelerated decomposition. Unlike removal, no altered particulate carbon, all detrital treatments did not significantly change mineral-associated carbon. In addition, contrastingly community, with shifting it toward fungi, bacteria. Furthermore, responses biomass to positively correlated rate total input, suggesting quantity is critical controller belowground processes. Taken together, these findings provide insights into understanding productivity allocation affects cycling, functioning ecosystems global changes. Future studies take full advantage existing detritus should focus relative roles forming its fractions.

Abstract Increased human‐derived nitrogen (N) loading in terrestrial ecosystems has caused widespread ecosystem‐level phosphorus (P) limitation. In response, plants and soil micro‐organisms adopt a series of P‐acquisition strategies to offset N loading‐induced P Many these impose costs on carbon (C) allocation by micro‐organisms; however, it remains unclear how affect C cycling. Herein, we review the literature effects limitation outline conceptual overview plant microbial may organic (SOC) stabilization decomposition ecosystems.

Crop residues are of crucial importance to maintain or even increase soil carbon stocks and fertility, thereby address the global challenge climate change mitigation. However, crop can also potentially stimulate emissions greenhouse gas nitrous oxide (N2O) from soils. A better understanding how mitigate N2O due residue management while promoting positive effects on is needed reconcile opposing balance agroecosystems. Here, we combine a literature review meta-analysis identify assess measures for mitigating application agricultural fields. Our study shows that removal, shallow incorporation, incorporation with C:N ratio > 30 avoiding crops terminated at an immature physiological stage, leading significantly lower emissions. Other practices such as timing interactions fertilisers less conclusive. Several evaluated mitigation implied negative side-effects yield, organic storage, nitrate leaching and/or ammonia volatilization. We identified additional strategies potential reduce without strong side-effects, which require further research. These are: a) treatment before field application, e.g., conversion into biochar anaerobic digestate, b) co-application nitrification inhibitors N-immobilizing materials compost high ratio, paper waste sawdust, c) use obtained mixtures. provides scientific basis be developed over coming years sustainability agroecosystems though adequate management.

It is widely accepted that phosphorus (P) limits microbial metabolic processes and thus soil organic carbon (SOC) decomposition in tropical forests. Global change factors like elevated atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition can enhance P limitation, raising concerns about the fate of SOC. However, how N affects priming effect (PE) (i.e., fresh C inputs induced changes SOC decomposition) forests remains unclear. We incubated soils exposed to 9 years experimental a subtropical evergreen broadleaved forest with two types 13 C-labeled substrates contrasting bioavailability (glucose cellulose) without amendments. found decreased total biomass P, suggesting enhanced limitation. In unamended soils, significantly inhibited PE. contrast, adding increased PE under by larger extent for cellulose (PEcellu ) than glucose (PEglu ).

Abstract Microbial carbon (C) use efficiency (CUE) delineates the proportion of organic C used by microorganisms for anabolism and ultimately influences amount sequestered in soils. However, key factors controlling CUE remain enigmatic, leading to considerable uncertainty understanding soil retention predicting its responses global change factors. Here, we investigate patterns estimate stoichiometric modeling surface soils natural ecosystems, examine associations with temperature, precipitation, plant‐derived nutrient availability. We found that is determined most limiting resource among these four basic environmental resources within specific climate zones (i.e., tropical, temperate, arid, cold zones). Higher common arid corresponds limitations water, input, while lower observed tropical temperate widespread limitation nutrients (e.g., nitrogen or phosphorus) soil. The contrasting led an apparent increase increasing latitude. resource‐specific dependence implies high latitudes environments may retain less future, as warming increased precipitation can reduce CUE. In contrast, oligotrophic low retention, could be concurrent anthropogenic inputs. findings underscore importance suggest asymmetric across
