Soil biota contribute substantially to multiple ecosystem functions that are key for geochemical cycles and plant performance. However, soil biodiversity is currently threatened by land-use intensification, a mechanistic understanding of how loss interacts with the myriad intensification elements (e.g., application chemical fertilizers) still unresolved. Here we experimentally simplified biological communities in microcosms test whether changes microbiome influenced multifunctionality including crop productivity (leek, Allium porrum). Additionally, half were fertilized further explore different levels interact nutrient additions. Our experimental manipulation achieved significant reduction alpha-diversity (45.9 % bacterial richness, 82.9 eukaryote richness) resulted complete removal taxa (i.e., arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi). community simplification led an overall decrease multifunctionality; particularly, retention capacity reduced biodiversity. Ecosystem was positively correlated (R = 0.79). Mineral fertilizer had little effect on compared reduction, but it leek nitrogen uptake from decomposing litter 38.8 %. This suggests natural processes organic acquisition impaired fertilization. Random forest analyses revealed few members protists Paraflabellula), Actinobacteria Micolunatus), Firmicutes Bacillus) as indicators multifunctionality. results suggest preserving diversity eukaryotic within agroecosystems crucial ensure provisioning functions, particularly those directly related essential services such food provision.

Not only do soils provide 98.7% of the calories consumed by humans, they also numerous other functions upon which planetary survivability closely depends. However, our continuously increasing focus on for biomass provision (food, fiber, and energy) through intensive agriculture is rapidly degrading diminishing their capacity to deliver vital functions. These tradeoffs in soil functionality – increased one function at expense critical are this review. We examine how land-use change has decreased ability regulate carbon pool thereby contribute profoundly climate change, cycle nutrients that sustain plant growth ecosystem health, protect biodiversity many depend, Earth's freshwater supplies. decreasing these can be halted reversed.

Non-target organisms are globally exposed to herbicides. While many herbicides - for example, glyphosate were initially considered safe, increasing evidence demonstrates that they have profound effects on ecosystem functions via altered microbial communities. We provide a comprehensive framework how herbicide residues may modulate ecosystem-level outcomes alteration of microbiomes. The changes in soil microbiome likely influence key nutrient cycling and plant-soil processes. Herbicide-altered affects plant animal performance can trophic interactions such as herbivory pollination. These expected lead even evolutionary consequences both microbes hosts. Tackling the threats caused by agrochemicals services requires tools solutions based understanding microbe-mediated risks.

Abstract Increasing soil organic carbon (SOC) in croplands by switching from conventional to conservation management may be hampered stimulated microbial decomposition under warming. Here, we test the interactive effects of agricultural and warming on SOC persistence underlying mechanisms a decade-long controlled experiment wheat-maize cropping system. Warming increased content accelerated fungal community temporal turnover agriculture (no tillage, chopped crop residue), but not (annual residue removed). Microbial use efficiency (CUE) growth linearly over time, with stronger positive after 5 years agriculture. According structural equation models, these increases arose greater inputs crops, which indirectly CUE via changes communities. As result, necromass 28 53%, emerging as strongest predictor content. Collectively, our results demonstrate how climatic factors can interact alter composition, physiology functions and, turn, formation accrual croplands.

Abstract Diversifying agriculture by rotating a greater number of crop species in sequence is promising practice to reduce negative impacts production on the environment and maintain yields. However, it unclear what extent cereal yields change with rotation diversity external nitrogen fertilization level over time, which functional groups crops provide most yield benefit. Here, using grain data small cereals maize from 32 long-term (10–63 years) experiments across Europe North America, we show that rotational diversity, measured as richness, enhanced This benefit increased time. Only winter-sown showed decline at highest diversity. Diversification was beneficial all low input, particularly maize, enabling lower dependence fertilisers ultimately reducing greenhouse gas emissions pollution. The results suggest increasing richness rather than can be strategy for supporting many environments.
