<div><div>Climate warming and human activities have led to widespread expansion of shrubs in many wetlands, altering the distribution patterns of native vegetation and disrupting C cycling. Although the effects of shrub expansion on soil microbial communities and methane (CH<sub>4</sub>) emissions have been extensively studied, the specific microbial-mediated pathways involved in methane cycling remain unexplored. The static chamber method was used to investigate the characteristics of CH<sub>4</sub> emission flux changes under different levels of shrub expansion. Additionally, metagenomics technology was employed to assess the effects of different shrub expansion levels on soil microbial community composition, function, and diversity (bacteria and fungi), as well as the methane metabolic pathways mediated by these communities. Shrub expansion in wetlands was categorized into four classes based on shrub coverage. We found that methane flux decreased significantly with increasing shrub expansion, with cumulative emissions under extensive expansion conditions being only 28 % of those under no expansion conditions. The peak emissions on August 15 under no expansion conditions were 2–3 times higher than those in shrub-expanded plots. The partial least squares path model (PLS-PM, GOF = 0.731) indicated that shrub expansion enhanced soil physicochemical properties (β = 0.865), which inhibited methanogenic genes (β = −0.617) and activated methane oxidation pathways (total effect β = 0.728). Methane-oxidizing genes contributed the most to CH<sub>4</sub> reduction, accounting for 72.4 % of the pathway effect. This was primarily manifested as inhibition of key genes involved in the acetate pathway for methane production (comB and hdrA) and upregulation of methane-oxidizing-related genes (mmoB and DAK). Shrub expansion significantly increased soil ammonium nitrogen content while reducing soil moisture content. Although bacterial α diversity remained unchanged, the fungal Chao1 index significantly increased. Additionally, MI and HI treatments significantly altered bacterial community structure, while fungal communities remained relatively stable. The relative abundance of Verrucomicrobia initially increased with shrub expansion but decreased at higher levels, while Ascomycota, Basidiomycota, and Mucoromycota showed significant increases. The study suggests that the reduction in CH<sub>4</sub> emissions caused by shrub expansion is primarily regulated by a synergistic pathway involving the combined effects of soil physicochemical properties and oxidative microbial genes. Furthermore, bacterial communities are more sensitive to shrub expansion than fungal communities. These results highlight the complex interactions between aboveground vegetation dynamics, soil microbial communities, greenhouse gas fluxes, and environmental factors.

Agricultural soil acidification affects 40–70% of croplands worldwide and is intensifying with increasing nitrogen fertilization. Although nitrogen fertilizer-induced acidification is well-documented, the quantitative relationships and thresholds between base cations and exchangeable acids across different soil pH levels remain poorly understood. This study conducted a meta-analysis of 2,348 field trials from 157 sites worldwide, quantifying the dynamics of base cations (K+, Ca2+, Mg2+) and exchangeable acids in acidic and neutral soils under long-term nitrogen fertilization. It aims to: (1) quantify nitrogen effects on base cations and exchangeable acids; (2) evaluate the relationship between base cation loss and pH decline in soils with different pH values; and (3) explore how organic matter alleviates exchangeable acids increase. The results showed that under nitrogen fertilization, the exchangeable K+, Ca2+, and Mg2+ decreased significantly in acidic soils by 20.3%, 48.6%, and 43.3%, respectively, but showed relative lower decreases in neutral soils by 17.9%, 14.5%, and 6.3%, respectively. In addition, the exchangeable acid content in acidic soils increased significantly by 116.5%, which was much higher than that in neutral soils (35.7%). Subgroup analyses revealed that the accumulation of exchangeable acids could be effectively inhibited when the soil organic matter content exceeded 25.0 g/kg; moreover, the addition of calcium was of great significance for the retention of soil organic matter. This study emphasizes that acidic soils are more sensitive to nitrogen fertilization than neutral soils and more susceptible to soil acidification. These findings are crucial for understanding the acidification threshold of nitrogen fertilizer application, accumulative effects of fertilization time, and dynamic equilibrium between base cations and exchangeable acids in soils with different pH values. They also provide scientific evidence for quantifying the threshold of organic matter content for acidification relief and mitigating soil acidification caused by nitrogen fertilization.

Earthworm guts are a reservoir for antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). However, the role of horizontal gene transfer (HGT) between bacteriophages and their hosts in amplifying ARG proliferation within this niche remains limited. To address this knowledge gap, we analyzed paired metagenomes from Metaphire californica guts and surrounding soil collected from farmland in Zhejiang, China. Earthworm guts harbored greater ARG diversity than soil (323 vs 303 subtypes), with significantly elevated abundances of macrolide-lincosamide-streptogramin (MLS), novobiocin, rifamycin, and tetracycline resistance determinants. Consistent with this, viral diversity was also higher in the earthworm gut comparing with soil. We recovered 67 microbial metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) and 5,703 viral operational taxonomic units (vOTUs), which enabled us to evaluate the contribution of viruses to ARG dissemination across different environments. Notably, virus-encoded ARGs were distributed across 43 Resfams families (RFs), with 32 detected in earthworm gut and only 23 in soil. Crucially, 1,568 potential HGT events between vOTUs and MAGs were identified, with a significantly higher frequency observed in the earthworm gut (1,110 events) compared to soil (458 events). Interestingly, the potential HGT regions against the Resfams database revealed that 32 gut-associated HGT events involved 11 RFs, whereas only 12 events associated with 5 RFs were detected in soil. These findings reveal the earthworm gut’s role in accelerating antibiotic resistance proliferation within agricultural ecosystems, highlighting the interconnected health risks emphasized by the One Health framework.

Soil plant-derived carbon (PDC) and microbial-derived carbon (MDC) represent the two primary sources of soil organic carbon (SOC). The relative proportions of these carbon (C) sources shape SOC composition, accumulation, stability, and turnover. Dryland ecosystems, while serving as critical C reservoirs, are particularly vulnerable to climate change. However, the influence of aridity on PDC and MDC sequestration remains understudied at the regional scale, which limits our ability to understand and predict soil C dynamics in drylands under the context of global warming. To address this knowledge gap, we measured PDC, MDC, and associated biotic and abiotic variables at 90 sampling sites along a ∼ 3000 km transect across the Mongolian Plateau. We examined the biogeographical distribution patterns of PDC and MDC along a natural aridity gradient. Our findings revealed that both PDC and MDC declined concurrently in response to increasing aridity. Based on the contributions of PDC and MDC to SOC, we identified the shifting point marking the transition in the dominance of different pathways of the microbial C pump. This shifting point was further validated using microbial C use efficiency (CUE) and soil extracellular enzyme activity. In subhumid-semiarid region (aridity = 0.37), the contribution of PDC to SOC exceeds that of MDC, coupled with higher extracellular enzyme activity, indicating the dominance of ex vivo modification. Here, PDC formation is primarily driven by the microbial fragmentation of abundant plant litter. High precipitation and nutrient availability in these areas further support the conversion of microbial biomass C into MDC. In contrast, in semiarid region (aridity = 0.78), the contribution of PDC to SOC is lower than that of MDC, coupled with higher microbial CUE, indicating the dominance of in vivo turnover. MDC accumulation is promoted by physical protection mechanisms, such as increased clay and silt content, while PDC formation is constrained by limited root C inputs. Our findings provide new insights into the mechanisms of SOC sequestration in drylands and emphasize the need to consider both PDC and MDC in strategies aimed at preserving the terrestrial C sink under current and future climate change.

Earthworms affect soil organic carbon (SOC) decomposition and C stabilization into mineral associated organic matter (MAOM) following fresh organic matter input. However, it remains untested how these earthworm-induced C dynamics vary with the rate of fresh organic matter input and soil texture and how they are associated with soil microbial C use efficiency (CUE). Herein, we conducted a 48-day incubation to investigate the impact of earthworms on soil C dynamics following litter input, as well as the relationships of C dynamics with microbial CUE. The experimental set-up consisted of three factors including earthworms (with and without), 13C-labeled grass litter input rate (0, 1 and 6 g C kg−1 soil) and soil texture (grassland soils with either clay or sand addition). Earthworms increased SOC decomposition without litter input by 9 % − 13 %, while amplifying the priming effect (PE) in soil with clay and sand addition at the highest litter addition by 24 % − 139 %, but decreasing the PE in soil with sand and low litter addition by 32 %. In soil with sand addition, earthworms increased MAOM formation efficiency from litter (fraction of added litter C stabilized in MAOM) by 17 % − 23 %, and the litter C sequestration quotient (litter-derived C in MAOM divided by the sum of litter derived C in MAOM and respiration) by 10 % − 27 %. However, earthworm-induced changes in SOC decomposition, PE and MAOM formation were not associated with earthworm-induced changes in microbial CUE. In conclusion, earthworms can facilitate SOC accrual more in soils with sand addition through disproportional amplification of SOC stabilization compared with SOC loss through decomposition. The influence of earthworms on SOC accrual is more likely driven by physicochemical protection of SOC rather than by changes in microbial metabolism.
蚯蚓影响新鲜有机质输入后土壤有机碳(SOC)分解和碳稳定为矿物伴生有机质(MAOM)。然而,这些蚯蚓诱导的碳动态如何随新鲜有机质输入速率和土壤质地而变化,以及它们如何与土壤微生物碳利用效率(CUE)相关,仍未得到验证。本研究通过48天的培养,研究了蚯蚓对凋落物输入后土壤C动态的影响,以及C动态与微生物CUE的关系。实验设置包括三个因素,包括蚯蚓(有和没有),13c标记的草凋落物输入率(0,1和6 g C kg - 1土壤)和土壤质地(添加粘土或沙子的草地土壤)。蚯蚓使无凋落物输入的土壤有机碳分解提高了9% ~ 13%,而在凋落物添加量最大的土壤中,添加粘土和沙子的土壤的启动效应(PE)提高了24% ~ 139%,而在添加沙子和低凋落物的土壤中,PE降低了32%。在添加沙子的土壤中,蚯蚓使凋落物中MAOM的形成效率(添加的凋落物C稳定在MAOM中的比例)提高了17% ~ 23%,凋落物C的固存商(MAOM中凋落物衍生的C除以MAOM中凋落物衍生的C和呼吸的总和)提高了10% ~ 27%。然而,蚯蚓诱导的SOC分解、PE和MAOM形成的变化与蚯蚓诱导的微生物CUE变化无关。综上所述,蚯蚓通过对土壤有机碳稳定化的不成比例放大,促进了土壤有机碳的积累,而不是通过分解导致的有机碳损失。蚯蚓对有机碳积累的影响更可能是由有机碳的物理化学保护驱动的,而不是由微生物代谢的变化驱动的。

Ground surface temperature (GST) serves as the upper thermal boundary condition governing the thermal regime of permafrost, yet its fine-scale spatial heterogeneity associated with complex surface characteristics remains a critical uncertainty, largely due to a scarcity of high-density in-situ observations. To bridge this gap, we established a multi-scale systematic monitoring network in June-July 2023 at a representative alpine meadow site in the Headwater Area of the Yellow River, northeastern Qinghai-Xizang Plateau. The network comprises two regular grids with extents of 100 m × 100 m and 1000 m × 1000 m (121 nodes each), capturing hourly GST dynamics. By integrating thermal data with high-resolution (0.1 m) unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-derived fractional vegetation cover (FVC), we identified a non-linear vegetation forcing mechanism. A cooling optimum was observed at medium FVC (0.5–0.75), yielding the lowest MAGST (−0.56 ± 0.06 °C and −0.71 ± 0.12 °C for the 100-m and 1000-m grids, respectively) by effectively offsetting summer radiative heating against winter insulation. Conversely, low FVC grid points showed amplified diurnal variability (up to 6.09 °C). Spatial analysis revealed scale-dependent thermal regimes: the fine-scale 100-m grid highlighted localized heat accumulation linked to micro-scale surface heterogeneity, while the 1000-m grid showed seasonal structural instability, where coherent spatial patterns disintegrated during winter. These findings provide critical, scale-dependent constraints for calibrating process-based permafrost models.

Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI), in particular foundation models, have improved the state of the art in many application domains including geosciences. Some specific problems, however, could not benefit from this progress yet. Soil horizon classification, for instance, remains challenging because of its multimodal and multitask characteristics and a complex hierarchically structured label taxonomy. Accurate classification of soil horizons is crucial for monitoring soil condition, which directly impacts agricultural productivity, food security, ecosystem stability and climate resilience. In this work, we propose SoilNet - a multimodal multitask model to tackle this problem through a structured modularized pipeline. In contrast to omnipurpose AI foundation models, our approach is designed to be inherently transparent by following the task structure human experts developed for solving this challenging annotation task. The proposed approach integrates image data and geotemporal metadata to first predict depth markers, segmenting the soil profile into horizon candidates. Each segment is characterized by a set of horizon-specific morphological features. Finally, horizon labels are predicted based on the multimodal concatenated feature vector, leveraging a graph-based label representation to account for the complex hierarchical relationships among soil horizons. Our method is designed to address complex hierarchical classification, where the number of possible labels is very large, imbalanced and non-trivially structured. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach on a real-world soil profile dataset and a comprehensive user study with domain experts. Our empirical evaluations demonstrate that SoilNet reliably predicts soil horizons that are plausible and accurate. User study results indicate that SoilNet achieves predictive performance on par with or better than that of human experts in soil horizon classification. All code and experiments can be found in our repository: https://github.com/calgo-lab/BGR/.

It is widely accepted that humic acid-enhanced phosphate fertilizers (HAEP) improve crop yield and phosphorus (P) use efficiency, largely because the carboxyl-rich structure of humic acid (HA) reduces P fixation and enhances soil P availability. However, this prevailing view overlooks the potential structural transformations of HA in soil and its localized regulation of P availability—restricted to the phosphate fertilizer fertosphere (PFF) rather than the bulk soil. In this study, we simulated the PFF to examine how HA influences the migration, transformation, and availability of P within the PFF. Using multispectral analysis, we characterized structural changes of HA and its corresponding ability to inhibit P immobilization within the PFF. We also identified the key microbial drivers, thereby clarifying the mechanisms through which HA regulates P availability in this microzone. Compared with that of the control, HA amendment resulted in greater migration of PFF-derived P over 90 days: cumulative migration increased by 10.7%, the migration distance extended by 0.40 mm, and the effective radius of the available P-enriched zones around the fertosphere expanded by 0.84 mm. The increased P availability might be attributed to two main mechanisms. First, the increase in HA-specific surface area and the accumulation of fungal necromass provided additional sites for ion adsorption, thereby inhibiting the transformation of P into insoluble forms. Second, HA slowed the luxury uptake of P by microorganisms, effectively reducing its biological fixation. Notably, the carboxyl functional groups of HA contributed minimally to this improvement. Instead, HA within the PFF underwent progressive depletion of carboxyl groups, mediated jointly by soil bacteria and fungi. HA enhances both the P supply area and the intensity of PFF primarily through microbial-driven structural modifications that maintain its ion-adsorption capacity. These findings offer new perspectives for re-evaluating the efficiency-enhancing mechanisms of HAEP.

Enhanced rock weathering (ERW) and biochar are potentially effective and scalable options for large-scale carbon dioxide removal (CDR), required to limit global temperature rise to 1.5 °C. Here we present experimental data on their co-deployment, an urgent and novel research direction that may render even larger CDR on multiple timescales. Two greenhouse pot experiments were conducted growing maize (Zea mays L) on sandy and clayey soils mixed with various doses of crushed dunite rocks (20–220 t ha−1) and a fixed dose of biochar (20 t ha−1) for two months. Furthermore, through a comparison of multiple soil extraction procedures for mass balance construction, our work supports the development of a standardized quantification method for CDR associated with ERW. Based on these elemental mass balances, dunite weathering was found to sequester between 1.06 ± 0.025 and 3.48 ± 0.084 t CO2 ha−1 in sandy soils and between 0.28 ± 0.015 and 1.60 ± 0.051 t CO2 ha−1 in clayey soils, while biochar co-deployment only slightly enhanced dunite weathering in the latter. Soil respiration also significantly increased on both soils, exceeding the achieved inorganic CO2 sequestration in our short-term experiments. However, we observed significant increases in soil pH and amorphous iron (hydr)oxide minerals, the latter known to be important for long-term organic carbon stabilization. We argue that the reduction in soil carbon due to enhanced soil respiration is only short term and is likely compensated for by the promising potential of ERW and biochar combinations for long-term inorganic carbon sequestration and organic carbon stabilization. The observed effects of ERW and biochar co-deployment on soil chemical properties, most notably increases in reactive (hydr)oxide minerals and soil pH, provide a great opportunity to boost CDR, with important differences between soil types.
增强岩石风化(ERW)和生物炭是大规模二氧化碳去除(CDR)的潜在有效和可扩展的选择,需要将全球气温上升限制在1.5°C。在这里,我们提出了它们共同部署的实验数据,这是一个紧迫而新颖的研究方向,可能在多个时间尺度上呈现更大的CDR。在两个温室盆栽试验中,玉米(Zea mays L)在砂质和粘土土壤上生长,混合不同剂量的碎质岩石(20 - 220 t ha - 1)和固定剂量的生物炭(20 t ha - 1),为期两个月。此外,通过对质量平衡构建的多种土壤提取方法的比较,我们的工作支持了与ERW相关的CDR标准化量化方法的发展。基于这些元素质量平衡,发现沙质土壤对沙丘风化作用的吸收在1.06±0.025 ~ 3.48±0.084 t CO2 ha - 1之间,粘质土壤对沙丘风化作用的吸收在0.28±0.015 ~ 1.60±0.051 t CO2 ha - 1之间,而黏性土壤对沙丘风化作用的吸收仅轻微增强。两种土壤的土壤呼吸也显著增加,超过了我们短期实验中实现的无机CO2固存。然而,我们观察到土壤pH值和无定形铁(水)氧化物矿物显著增加,后者已知对长期有机碳稳定很重要。我们认为,由于土壤呼吸增强而导致的土壤碳的减少只是短期的,并且可能被ERW和生物炭组合在长期无机碳固存和有机碳稳定方面的潜力所补偿。已观察到的ERW和生物炭共同部署对土壤化学性质的影响,最显著的是活性(水合)氧化物矿物质和土壤pH的增加,为提高CDR提供了很好的机会,土壤类型之间存在重要差异。

Soil health is an objective of management practices including reduced tillage intensity, manure application, crop rotation, and cover crops. However, the relative effectiveness of these practices for promoting healthier soil remains uncertain. We assessed the responses of six soil health indicators (soil organic matter, soil respiration, permanganate oxidizable C (POX-C), soil protein, mean weight diameter of water stable aggregates, and bulk density) to four management practices (manure application, reduced tillage, living cover in fall and spring, and crop diversity) across 50 commercial crop fields in Ohio and Indiana, USA. Simple linear regression, multiple linear regression and random forest analyses largely identified similar relationships between soil health and management practices. Manure application rate was consistently and positively associated with greater soil health values, although the relationship with bulk density was weak. Reduced tillage intensity was associated with greater protein and respiration, but decreased POX-C. Living cover and crop diversity each had limited relationships with the soil health indicators. Soil texture was an important factor driving variability in most soil health indicators. Reducing the management period from 5 yr to 3 yr tended to reduce the predictive ability of the models, but with limited exceptions similar relationships between management and soil health were identifiable. The depth of measurement of soil health indicators changed the interpretation of management-soil health relationships in only one instance (POX-C vs. reduced tillage intensity). Overall, manure application was the most effective practice for improving soil health, with reduced tillage intensity also effective for improving several soil health indicators.
