ABSTRACT In vineyards facing soil degradation and biodiversity loss, crop diversification may improve sustainability, but its effects on the microbiome remain unclear. a 3‐year field study, we examined how diversifying plant row under grapevine with aromatic plants affected topsoil properties (0–10 cm) in an organically farmed, steep‐sloped vineyard. Specifically, investigated of oregano thyme microbial biomass, respiration, prokaryotic fungal community compositions, enzyme activities, potential nitrification, abiotic properties, including total particulate organic carbon (TOC, POC), nutrient status, pH, moisture. Grapevines alone mechanical tillage served as control. The competed grapevines by lowering contents Aromatic litter had small, mostly non‐significant consistent effect POC contents, stocks determined final year showed slight increasing trend order control (10.9 ± 2.8 t ha −1 ) < (12.6 3.1) (13.1 4.1). Surprisingly, these changes coincided significant decrease biomass compared to control, indicating plant‐microbe competition. Concomitant decreases respiration activity C‐cycling enzymes also metabolic quotient, suggest lower mineralisation more efficient use. Multivariate statistics revealed that was primarily structured such matter, water availability. contrast, exhibited stronger plant‐specific response, composition likely driven root‐associated interactions, suggesting direct biotic influence. Especially, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi nitrification were promoted both plants, which benefit growth. Overall, show perennial agroecosystems increases habitat heterogeneity benefits for diversity, sequestration cycling, demonstrating positive impact functioning.

Effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) on plants span the continuum from mutualism to parasitism due plant–AMF specificity, which obscures utilization AMF in restoration degraded lands. Caragana korshinskii , Hedysarum laeve microphylla and Poa annua are most frequently used for revegetation Kubuqi Desert, China, influence their re-establishment remains be explored further. Herein, using a greenhouse experiment, we tested feedbacks between four plant species conspecific or heterospecific AMF, retrieved rhizosphere Desert. showed beneficial effects growth all these plant-AMF pairs. Generally, increased biomass C. H. P. by 97.6, 50.6, 46.5, 381.1%, respectively, relative control. In addition, AMF-plant specificity was detected. grew best, but worst with communities. community largest effect (with 63.9–734.4%), while least 9.9–59.1%), except (a 292.4% increase biomass). The magnitude negatively correlated complexity corresponding co-occurrence networks. Overall, this study suggests that vary specificity. We also observed broad-spectrum benefits native indicates its potential desert vegetation.

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi enhance plant stress tolerance, but it is unclear whether AM affect heat tolerance in cucumbers. This study aimed to analyze how an fungus, Diversispora versiformis, affected growth, chlorophyll, five osmolytes, and plasma membrane intrinsic proteins (PIPs) shock protein 70 (Hsp70) gene expression cucumber leaves after a short-term (80 h) stress. Heat treatment significantly reduced root fungal colonization rate (0.26 folds). also distinctly suppressed height, stem diameter, biomass, whereas inoculation improved these growth variables as well the chlorophyll index, with benefit being more obvious under than no-heat conditions. triggered differential changes osmolytes (sucrose, fructose, betaine) of inoculated uninoculated cucumbers, fungus raised leaf sucrose, glucose, betaine, proline levels when compared non-AM inoculation. increased two (CsPIP1;6 CsPIP2;1) eight CsPIPs plants, up-regulated CsPIP1;6, CsPIP2;1, CsPIP2;6 Hsp70s expressed differently plants versus stress, 6 11 CsHsp70s down-regulated plants. Under conditions, only CsHsp70-8 Hsp70s, while another were down-regulated. both CsPIP1;6. It was concluded that fungus-inoculated cucumbers have high do not require tolerate treatment.
