Grazing can alter the physicochemical properties of soil and quickly influence composition microbial communities. However, effects grazing intensity on fungal community in different depth remain unclear. On Inner Mongolia Plateau, we studied treatments including no (NG), light (LG), moderate (MG), heavy (HG), over (OG) surface (0–20 cm) subsurface (20–40 layers. The α -diversity fungi decreased under grazing. relative abundance Ascomycota subsoil was higher than that topsoil, while situation Basidiomycota opposite. This caused by differences carbon (C) environment for growth oligotrophic copiotrophic fungi. In subsoil, affected nutrient contents such as organic matter (SOM) total nitrogen (TN), resulting significantly lower Ortierellomycota LG, HG, OG NG. HG showed much Glomeromycota.

This study aimed to examine the effect of adding volcanic slag soil on growth, yield, and quality cucumbers. It also analyzed changes in physicochemical properties rhizosphere soil, as well diversity structural bacterial community present cucumber plants. used conventional fertilization cultivation techniques set up five treatments: HS500, HS1000, HS1500, HS2000 (representing 500, 1000, 1500, 2000 kg/ha added per 667 sq.m trough, respectively), control (CK; representing 0 kg slag). The Illumina MiSeq System was analyze microbial community. findings revealed that HS1000 treatment had most significant promoting increasing whereas exhibited no change compared with CK treatment.

Urban forest soil is often disturbed by frequent human activity. Organic mulching effective for improving quality; however, the effects of organic on bacterial communities in urban forests are still largely unexplored. This study evaluated how changed community through an incubation experiment. Four treatments were applied: (1) no mulch (CK); (2) wood chips alone (5 g, Mw); (3) compost Mc); and (4) + (This was divided into two layers, i.e., upper layer (2.5 g) lower Mw+c).) We found significant differences physicochemical properties under after incubation. Overall, can alter structure. Soil alkali-hydrolyzable nitrogen, carbon, total carbon-nitrogen ratio main factors affecting microbial structures. groups mainly acted C N cycling functional pathways soil. suggests that could maintain development bacteria, which establishes a theoretical foundation enhancing microbiological environment soils.

In this study, the effects of different stocking rates were quantified in three study areas a Mediterranean forest (Cuenca, Spain) by applying multiparametric soil quality index (SQI) developed from undisturbed soils (>40 years). The main objective was to advance development and application indices that allow for condition assessment. To fulfill objective, effectiveness analyzed as an indicator livestock impacts on forest. control without activity stands ages (a thicket stand <30 years; high-polewood 30–60 old-growth >60 years), which compared with subjected various grazing intensities (areas permanent passage: sheepfold had been inactive 2–3 years active sheepfold; intermittent bare-soil area, pine scrubland). applied sensitive changes ecosystems depending rates. However, obtain greater precision assessment rates, recalibrated create new index, Soil Status Index Livestock (SSIL). correlation between ranges obtained both suggests SSIL can be considered impact reference soils.

Abstract Nutrients contained in plant tissues serve as the driving force behind and herbivore interactions. The nutrient level, including different kinds of elements amount fertilizer, can vary owing to variations soil composition this directly impact defense response against herbivores. Plants take up nutrients via two pathways: (i) through root hairs epidermis (ii) indirectly beneficial microbes that interact with roots, such mycorrhizal fungi rhizobacteria. associated microbes, modifying composition, affect These direct indirect uptake pathways adjust resistance or tolerance attack, evidenced by factors performance, status, biomass allocation, compensatory growth. In turn, aboveground belowground herbivory exert an effect on exchange between plants their primarily key resources carbon (C), nitrogen (N) phosphorus (P). Furthermore, it shows herbivory, presence has no negative N C content. molecular mechanisms underlying these ecological interactions are being systematically uncovered. order outline research progress field, review synthesizes current scientific literature regarding mutual plant–herbivore It aims support efforts maintaining sustainability ecosystem optimizing strategies managing variability.
