Modern coexistence theory quantifies niche and fitness differences to elucidate species competition mechanisms, yet its application to temperature-driven shifts in soil microbial competitive outcomes remains limited. Here, we observed that high temperatures intensified competition among abundant bacterial genera in soil incubation experiments, particularly leading to the competitive dominance of Pseudomonas over Rhodococcus. Specifically, in competitive experiments involving Rhodococcus erythropolis NSX2 and Pseudomonas aeruginosa SB, SB successfully outcompeted NSX2, achieving a dominance of 61.6 % at 32 °C. This competitive dominance correlated with increased niche differences (from 0.45 to 0.88) and reduced fitness differences (from 0.83 to 0.35) at higher temperatures. Additionally, single-cell Raman spectroscopy and metabolite analysis revealed that high temperature enhanced cross-feeding, resulting in the production of more beneficial metabolites and fewer antibacterial quinolones. When metabolites served as the sole carbon source under high-temperature conditions, the growth and population density of SB were significantly promoted. These findings underscore the pivotal role of temperature in shaping soil microbial competitive dominance by regulating metabolic interactions. This study advances our understanding of soil microbial competition within the framework of modern coexistence theory. By integrating the theory with metabolic analysis, this work highlights the importance of temperature-dependent microbial interactions in changing ecosystems.
现代共存理论量化了生态位和适合度差异,以阐明物种竞争机制,但其在温度驱动的土壤微生物竞争结果变化中的应用仍然有限。在这里,我们观察到高温加剧了土壤培养实验中丰富细菌属之间的竞争,特别是导致假单胞菌对红球菌的竞争优势。具体来说,在红红红球菌NSX2和铜绿假单胞菌SB的竞争实验中,SB在32°C下成功地战胜了NSX2,优势度达到61.6%。在较高的温度下,这种竞争优势与生态位差异的增加(从0.45到0.88)和适合度差异的减少(从0.83到0.35)相关。此外,单细胞拉曼光谱和代谢物分析显示,高温增强了交叉喂养,导致产生更多的有益代谢物和更少的抗菌喹诺酮类药物。高温条件下,以代谢物为唯一碳源,可显著促进褐藻的生长和种群密度。这些发现强调了温度通过调节代谢相互作用在塑造土壤微生物竞争优势中的关键作用。本研究促进了我们在现代共存理论框架内对土壤微生物竞争的理解。通过将该理论与代谢分析相结合,这项工作强调了温度依赖性微生物相互作用在不断变化的生态系统中的重要性。

Agricultural nitrogen (N) losses remain a major global concern, with substantial fractions of applied fertilizer escaping as nitrate (NO3) leachate, ammonia (NH3) emissions, and nitrous oxide (N2O), thereby reducing nitrogen use efficiency and contributing to climate and water quality degradation. Strategies that retain ammonium and moderate biological oxidation are central for mitigating these losses. This review provides an integrative assessment of two major approaches to suppress nitrification: synthetic nitrification inhibitors and plant-derived root exudates. We evaluate their mechanisms, performance across contrasting soils, and associated trade-offs, including microbial guild shifts and the risk of increased NH3 volatilization. We further examined emerging innovations such as exudate-responsive fertilizers, nanomaterial-enhanced delivery systems, precision sensing technologies, and the breeding or engineering of crops with elevated biological inhibition capacity. Building on these developments, we proposed a conceptual framework linking root exudation, soil physicochemical filters, microbial functional groups, and field-scale N outcomes. Key challenges include rapid exudate transformation, soil-dependent efficacy, regulatory barriers, and the need to recalibrate monitoring tools in ammonium-enriched rhizosphere. Together, these insights outline a multi-scale pathway to improve N retention, enhance crop N-use efficiency, and more resilient agroecosystems.
农业氮(N)损失仍然是全球关注的主要问题,施用的肥料中有相当一部分以硝酸盐(NO3−)渗滤液、氨(NH3)排放和氧化亚氮(N2O)的形式逸出,从而降低了氮的利用效率,并导致气候和水质退化。保留铵和适度生物氧化的策略是减轻这些损失的核心。本文综述了抑制硝化作用的两种主要方法:合成硝化抑制剂和植物源性根分泌物。我们评估了它们的机制,在不同土壤中的表现,以及相关的权衡,包括微生物导向变化和NH3挥发增加的风险。我们进一步研究了新兴的创新,如渗出反应肥料、纳米材料增强的输送系统、精确传感技术,以及具有高生物抑制能力的作物的育种或工程。在此基础上,我们提出了一个概念框架,将根系分泌物、土壤理化过滤器、微生物功能群和田间N值结果联系起来。主要挑战包括快速渗出物转化、土壤依赖性功效、监管障碍以及重新校准富铵根际监测工具的必要性。总之,这些见解概述了一个多尺度的途径,以改善氮保留,提高作物氮利用效率,更有弹性的农业生态系统。

The continuous input of the steroid estrogen 17β-estradiol (17β-E2) into agricultural soils via organic fertilizers is increasing annually; however, the environmental effects of such inputs on soil microbial communities and functions remain unclear. We aimed to examine the impacts of low- and high-concentration 17β-E2 treatments (LT and HT, respectively) on microbial communities and metabolism in three agricultural soils: yellow-brown earth (YBS), red soil (RS), and black soil (BS). After 4 weeks, the microbial responses varied with both soil type and 17β-E2 concentration. In the LT group, the microbial α-diversity indices of the different soils did not show significant changes, whereas in the HT group, the α-diversity indices of YBS, BS, and RS decreased by 30.68–34.56 %, 35.56–48.43 %, and 14.48–31.11 %, respectively. Distinct phylum-level responses were noted, with Bacillota dominating in YBS, Bacteroidota dominating in BS, and Actinobacteria (LT) shifting to Pseudomonadota (HT) in RS. Differential metabolites strongly correlated with these microbial shifts (r > 0.6, p < 0.05). LT downregulated metabolites in the ABC transporter, phosphotransferase system, and starch/sucrose metabolism pathways. HT further suppressed metabolites in the cutin, suberin, and wax metabolism pathways. In BS and RS, HT also impaired metabolites linked to carbon and nitrogen cycling and amino acid metabolism. These findings suggest that low-concentration 17β-E2 exposure may shift microbial metabolism toward more recalcitrant carbon, whereas high-concentration exposure may further disrupt complex organic degradation and nitrogen-related functions. This study provides critical insights into the effects of steroid estrogens on soil microbiomes and biogeochemical processes.
类固醇雌激素17β-雌二醇(17β-E2)通过有机肥进入农业土壤的持续量逐年增加;然而,这些投入对土壤微生物群落和功能的环境影响尚不清楚。本研究旨在研究低浓度和高浓度17β-E2处理(分别为LT和HT)对3种农业土壤(黄棕土(YBS)、红壤(RS)和黑土(BS))微生物群落和代谢的影响。4周后,微生物反应随土壤类型和17β-E2浓度的变化而变化。在LT组,不同土壤的微生物α-多样性指数变化不显著,而在HT组,YBS、BS和RS的α-多样性指数分别下降了30.68 ~ 34.56%、35.56 ~ 48.43%和14.48 ~ 31.11%。不同的门水平反应被注意到,在YBS中杆状杆菌属占优势,在BS中拟杆菌属占优势,在RS中放线菌属(LT)向假单胞菌属(HT)转移。差异代谢物与这些微生物转移密切相关(r > 0.6, p < 0.05)。LT下调ABC转运蛋白、磷酸转移酶系统和淀粉/蔗糖代谢途径中的代谢物。HT进一步抑制角质、木质素和蜡代谢途径中的代谢物。在BS和RS中,高温还会损害与碳、氮循环和氨基酸代谢相关的代谢物。这些发现表明,低浓度的17β-E2暴露可能使微生物代谢转向更顽固的碳,而高浓度暴露可能进一步破坏复杂的有机降解和氮相关功能。这项研究为类固醇雌激素对土壤微生物组和生物地球化学过程的影响提供了重要的见解。

Microplastic pollution increasingly threatens soil health in agroecosystems, while arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) offer potential mitigation strategies. However, the combined effects of AMF and microplastic on soil nematodes remain poorly understood. This study evaluates the individual and interactive effects of AMF inoculation (0.96 % w/w) and microplastic contamination (0–0.60 % w/w) on soil nematode communities in peanut croplands. The results showed that among 57 identified nematode genera, AMF increased the maturity index of plant-parasitic nematodes (PPI) by 89.8 % and amplified metabolic footprints of fungivorous (Fu) and plant-parasitic (PP) groups, indicating enhanced energy channeling via root exudate-mediated pathways. Microplastics exhibited concentration-dependent impacts: low doses (0.06 %) elevated total nematode abundance by 74.4 % and bacterivore (Ba) metabolic activity, likely through microplastic-surface bacterial colonization. Higher concentrations (0.30–0.60 %) reduced total nematode abundance by 27.3–27.9 %, reflecting physical toxicity from sub-50 μm fragments. Soil pH and available phosphorus emerged as key factors driving community restructuring, with pH negatively correlating with nematode diversity, and available phosphorus positively influencing trophic group composition. These findings demonstrate AMF's dual role in enhancing plant-parasite resistance under microplastic stress while exacerbating nutrient imbalances at high contamination levels. We propose AMF application as a bioremediation tool for soils with ≤0.30 % microplastic contamination, coupled with regulatory thresholds to curb trophic cascade disruptions. This work advances strategies for sustainable soil management in plastic-polluted agroecosystems.
微塑料污染日益威胁农业生态系统中的土壤健康,而丛枝菌根真菌(AMF)提供了潜在的缓解策略。然而,AMF和微塑料对土壤线虫的联合作用仍然知之甚少。本研究评价了接种AMF (0.96% w/w)和微塑料污染(0 ~ 0.60% w/w)对花生田土壤线虫群落的个体效应和交互效应。结果表明,在鉴定的57个线虫属中,AMF使植物-寄生线虫(PPI)的成熟指数提高了89.8%,并放大了真菌-寄生线虫(Fu)和植物-寄生线虫(PP)的代谢足迹,表明通过根分泌物介导的途径增强了能量通道。微塑料表现出浓度依赖的影响:低剂量(0.06%)使线虫总丰度提高74.4%,细菌(Ba)代谢活性提高74.4%,可能是通过微塑料表面细菌定植。较高的浓度(0.30 - 0.60%)使线虫总丰度降低27.3 - 27.9%,反映了低于50 μm碎片的物理毒性。土壤pH和速效磷是影响线虫群落重构的关键因素,pH与线虫多样性呈负相关,速效磷正影响营养群组成。这些发现表明AMF在微塑性胁迫下增强植物-寄生虫抗性,同时在高污染水平下加剧营养不平衡的双重作用。我们建议将AMF作为微塑料污染≤0.30%的土壤的生物修复工具,并结合监管阈值来抑制营养级联破坏。这项工作促进了塑料污染农业生态系统中可持续土壤管理的战略。

Plastics offer significant benefits but also pose serious environmental concerns, especially in areas of intensive livestock production where they frequently coexist in soil with veterinary drugs such as albendazole (ABZ), a broad-spectrum anthelmintic. ABZ can enter soil ecosystems either directly through cattle excretion or indirectly via the application of contaminated manure, raising concerns about its potential harmful effects on soil health. Collembola play a vital role in soil ecosystems through organic matter decomposition and nutrient cycling and the species Folsomia candida is widely used in ecotoxicological studies due to its sensitivity to pollutants. This study examined the individual and combined effects of 28-day exposure to low-density polyethylene (LDPE) microplastics (MPs) at 0 and 0.1 w/w% (0 and 1000 mg kg−1), alone or in combination with ABZ at 0, 0.0001, 0.1, and 1 w/w % (0, 1, 1000, and 10,000 mg kg−1) on F. candida in a sandy soil (LUFA 2.2.). Results showed that LDPE alone had no lethal or reproductive effects on F. candida, while ABZ, either alone or with MPs, significantly reduced the insect reproduction, pointing at ABZ as the key driver of the adverse effects. Reproductive inhibition was observed even at 1 mg kg−1, suggesting that ABZ may affect soil mesofauna at concentrations that can occur in manure-amended agricultural soils. The absence of differences in F. candida survival and reproduction suggests no synergistic effects between ABZ and MPs, nor any potential co-action mechanisms influencing ABZ behaviour under the specific experimental conditions, including soil substrate characteristics.
塑料带来了巨大的好处,但也带来了严重的环境问题,特别是在集约化畜牧生产地区,塑料经常与阿苯达唑(ABZ)等兽药共存于土壤中,这是一种广谱驱虫剂。ABZ可以通过牛的排泄物直接进入土壤生态系统,也可以通过施用受污染的粪便间接进入土壤生态系统,这引起了人们对其对土壤健康潜在有害影响的担忧。弹线虫通过有机物分解和养分循环在土壤生态系统中起着至关重要的作用,假丝酵母菌因其对污染物的敏感性而被广泛应用于生态毒理学研究。本研究考察了低密度聚乙烯(LDPE)微塑料(MPs)在0和0.1 w/w%(0和1000 mg kg - 1)下单独或与ABZ在0、0.0001、0.1和1 w/w%(0、1、1000和10000 mg kg - 1)下暴露28天对沙质土壤中假丝酵母的个体和组合影响(LUFA 2.2)。结果表明,LDPE单独对假丝酵母菌没有致死和繁殖作用,而ABZ单独或与MPs联合使用均显著降低了假丝酵母菌的繁殖,表明ABZ是其不良作用的关键驱动因素。即使在1 mg kg−1的浓度下也观察到生殖抑制,这表明ABZ可能在肥料改良的农业土壤中对土壤中系动物产生影响。假丝酵母菌的存活和繁殖没有差异,这表明ABZ和MPs之间没有协同效应,也没有任何潜在的共同作用机制影响ABZ在特定实验条件下的行为,包括土壤基质特征。

Plant-fungus interactions in the rhizosphere play a vital role in regulating soil ecosystem processes, yet the coordination between fine root and fungal traits and their impact on rhizosphere soil multifunctionality remains poorly understood. Here, we compared fine root and fungal traits of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) and ectomycorrhizal (ECM) tree species in northeast China and assessed their influence on rhizosphere soil multifunctionality. The results showed that ECM tree species exhibited a more conservative root strategy, with greater root diameter, higher tissue density, and lower specific root length and nitrogen content compared with AM tree species. Fungal communities in ECM rhizosphere also showed a slower strategy, with higher fungal oligotroph/copiotroph ratio, greater relative abundance of mycorrhizal fungi, larger genome sizes, and smaller body sizes than those in AM rhizosphere. The positive correlation between the first principal component of fine root traits and that of rhizosphere fungal traits indicates a coordinated strategy, where faster acquisitive fine-root strategies select for faster fungal strategies in the rhizosphere, characterized by lower relative abundance of mycorrhizal fungi, smaller genomes, and larger body sizes of copiotrophic fungi. Notably, rhizosphere soil multifunctionality was significantly higher in AM tree species compared with ECM tree species, likely driven by the fast resource-acquisition strategies of both fine roots and rhizosphere fungal communities. These findings collectively highlight the pivotal roles of fine root and fungal traits in shaping rhizosphere soil multifunctionality in temperate forests.
根际植物与真菌的相互作用在调节土壤生态系统过程中起着至关重要的作用,但细根与真菌性状之间的协调及其对根际土壤多功能性的影响尚不清楚。本研究比较了东北地区丛枝菌根(AM)和外生菌根(ECM)两种树种的细根和真菌性状,并评价了它们对根际土壤多功能性的影响。结果表明,与AM树种相比,ECM树种表现出更保守的根系策略,根系直径更大,组织密度更高,比根长和氮含量更低。与AM根际相比,ECM根际真菌群落也表现出较慢的策略,具有较高的寡营养/共营养比率、较高的菌根真菌相对丰度、较大的基因组大小和较小的体大小。细根性状的第一主成分与根际真菌性状的第一主成分之间的正相关表明了一种协调策略,在根际中,更快的细根策略选择更快的真菌策略,其特征是菌根真菌的相对丰度较低,基因组较小,食腐真菌的体型较大。值得注意的是,AM树种的根际土壤多功能性显著高于ECM树种,这可能是由细根和根际真菌群落的快速资源获取策略驱动的。这些发现共同强调了细根和真菌性状在温带森林根际土壤多功能性形成中的关键作用。

Biodiversity loss threatens ecosystem functions, including decomposition and nutrient cycling. We investigated whether Collembola (springtails), key soil decomposers, adjust their trophic positions in response to plant diversity in a long-term temperate grassland experiment (the Jena Experiment). Using stable isotope analysis (13C, 15N), we examined trophic positions of five Collembola families across a gradient of plant species richness and plant- and soil-history treatments. In June 2021, Collembola and plant material were sampled across 240 plots. Collembola families spanned about one trophic level, forming part of the first two trophic levels of the soil food web with relatively narrow basal resource use. Our results demonstrate that Collembola trophic niches were significantly affected by soil history and legume presence. Plant diversity had a weak effect on Collembola trophic niches. Notably, the trophic position of Onychiuroidea increased from monocultures to 60 species plots by about one trophic level in new soil, suggesting a dietary shift from root feeding to microbial consumption. By contrast, the trophic position of Isotomidae decreased by about 1/3 trophic level, likely reflecting a shift towards more detrital food. Overall, the trophic level (Δ15N values) of Collembola was more strongly affected than their use of basal resources (Δ13C values). Importantly, this study is the first to document how Collembola shift trophic roles due to changes in plant diversity and soil history — offering new insights into soil food web dynamics. The findings highlight trophic flexibility of belowground detritivores, with implications for ecosystem functioning under biodiversity loss and land-use change.
生物多样性的丧失威胁到生态系统的功能,包括分解和养分循环。通过长期的温带草地实验(耶拿实验),研究了土壤分解者弹尾虫(弹尾虫)是否会根据植物多样性调整其营养位置。利用稳定同位素分析(13C, 15N),研究了5个蛭形线虫科在植物物种丰富度、植物和土壤历史处理梯度上的营养位置。2021年6月,在240个地块取样了线虫和植物材料。弹线虫科大约跨越一个营养级,构成土壤食物网前两个营养级的一部分,基础资源利用相对狭窄。结果表明,线虫的营养生态位受到土壤历史和豆科植物存在的显著影响。植物多样性对弹线虫营养生态位的影响较弱。值得注意的是,在新土壤中,Onychiuroidea的营养地位从单一栽培增加到60种样地,大约增加了一个营养水平,表明饮食从根食到微生物消耗的转变。相比之下,异tomidae的营养地位下降了约1/3,可能反映了向更多碎屑食物的转变。总体而言,弹线虫的营养水平(Δ15N值)比它们对基础资源的利用(Δ13C值)受到更强烈的影响。重要的是,这项研究首次记录了弹线虫如何因植物多样性和土壤历史的变化而改变营养角色,为土壤食物网动态提供了新的见解。这些发现强调了地下腐殖动物的营养灵活性,并对生物多样性丧失和土地利用变化下的生态系统功能产生了影响。

准确的农田土壤有机碳(SOC)时空模型及其未来固碳潜力预测,有助于改善土壤质量、提高粮食产量和制定应对气候变化的农业管理策略。研究问题:基于过程的模型模拟场地尺度的土壤碳,而广泛应用的基于机器学习(ML)的数字土壤制图(DSM)技术无法将地表的碳循环过程纳入其中。因此,农业土壤有机碳时空存储的可靠监测仍然受到限制。方法利用1980-2004年在吉林省中部地区发表的35篇论文中249组不同农场经营方式下的有机碳观测数据,对反硝化分解(DNDC)模型的模拟结果进行评价。2005年、2010年、2015年、2020年和2024年共收集了1947个0 ~ 20 cm农田土壤有机碳数据。选取地形、气候、土壤、母质、植被和农场管理等21个环境变量作为随机森林(RF)模型的协变量。在此基础上,通过将土壤有机碳和二氧化碳等土壤有机碳的年度输出数据整合到土壤有机碳模型中,建立了土壤有机碳-土壤有机碳模型框架,并将场地尺度的模拟扩展到2005-2024年农田土壤有机碳的时空动态。基于DNDC-RF结果,预测了2025 - 2100年两种气候情景(RCP 4.5和RCP 8.5)和不同农场管理模式下的碳固存潜力。为预测未来碳含量,设计了4个管理类别,包括免耕(NT)、免耕(RT)和深耕(DT)、秸秆还田(SR)、粪肥施肥(MF)和化学施肥(CF)。结果与结论DNDC-RF框架在2005年、2010年、2015年、2020年和2024年验证数据的时空SOC预测中具有较高的R2值(0.78、0.75、0.80、0.85和0.79)和较低的均方根误差(RMSE)(1.15、1.21、1.09、0.99和1.09 g kg−1)。在不同的管理方式下,MF及其相关实践在2025 - 2100年的未来气候情景下显示出最高的SOC增长率。MF + CF + SR的增加速率最高,短期(3年)、中期(3 - 10年)和长期(10年)的增加速率分别为1386-4999、640-2099和494-1622 kg C / ha−1年−1。本文的混合框架在物理机制和空间扩展方面改进了土壤碳时空制图方法。这些发现强调了选择最佳管理战略以加强土壤固碳以支持未来气候减缓目标的重要性。

Cover crops offer numerous benefits to the soil, including pest, pathogen suppression and enhanced fertility. Focussing on fields used for Narcissus production as a model, the potential of different cover crop treatments to suppress plant-parasitic nematodes while safeguarding beneficial nematode communities was evaluated. The root lesion nematode species, Pratylenchus penetrans, is known to significantly reduce Narcissus yields, a challenge further exacerbated by limited chemical control options and restricted land availability to deploy effective crop rotation. French marigold, oilseed radish, Phacelia, Japanese oats, alfalfa, and forage chicory were evaluated in two experiments under greenhouse conditions to assess their suitability as hosts for P. penetrans based on the nematode reproduction factor (Rf). Phacelia and Japanese oat were rated as maintenance hosts (1 < Rf < 2) while the remaining cover crops were identified as poor hosts (0.15 < Rf < 1). Thereafter, three field experiments assessed the effects of the same cover crop treatments, plus Indian mustard, on the abundance of Pratylenchus, Aphelenchus, Aphelenchoides spp., and bacterivore nematodes. Sampling occurred before sowing of the cover crop, three months after sowing and six weeks post-incorporation of the mature cover crop. Four of the tested cover crops (French marigold, oilseed radish, forage chicory and alfalfa) significantly reduced the abundance of Pratylenchus spp., by 53–75 % across all three experiments. Phacelia and Japanese oats had no effect, while Indian mustard increased the abundance of Pratylenchus spp., by 113–319 % across all experiments. Oilseed radish and Indian mustard increased the abundance of bacterivore nematodes, with oilseed radish showing the greatest increase of 335 %. Using 18S rRNA amplicon sequencing, cover crops showed no adverse effects on alpha and beta nematode diversity, while cover crop incorporation resulted in higher enrichment and lower structure indices. These findings strongly suggest that French marigold, oilseed radish, forage chicory, and alfalfa are potential options for managing Pratylenchus spp. without adverse effects on non-target beneficial soil nematode communities. Understanding cover crop–nematode interactions can expand their use beyond current production systems. This study offers a first step towards selecting cover crops that maintain/promote beneficial nematodes, support soil health restoration, and suppress Pratylenchus spp. in crops that form a typical UK arable rotation.
覆盖作物对土壤有许多好处,包括抑制害虫、病原体和提高肥力。以水仙田为例,评价了不同覆盖作物处理在抑制植物寄生线虫的同时保护有益线虫群落的潜力。众所周知,根损线虫(Pratylenchus penetrans)会显著降低水仙的产量,而有限的化学防治选择和限制有效轮作的土地可用性进一步加剧了这一挑战。以线虫繁殖因子(Rf)为指标,在温室条件下对法国万寿菊、油籽萝卜、白仙花、日本燕麦、紫花苜蓿和菊苣进行了适宜性评价。长穗草和日本燕麦被定为维持寄主(1 < Rf < 2),其余覆盖作物被定为不良寄主(0.15 < Rf < 1)。此后,进行了三次田间试验,评估了同样的覆盖作物处理加上印度芥菜对拟叶蝉属、拟叶蝉属、拟叶蝉属和细菌线虫丰度的影响。取样分别在覆盖作物播种前、播种后3个月和种植成熟覆盖作物后6周进行。四种被测试的覆盖作物(法国万金菊、油籽萝卜、菊苣和苜蓿)显著减少了Pratylenchus spp.的丰度,在所有三个实验中减少了53 - 75%。长穗草和日本燕麦没有影响,而印度芥菜增加了Pratylenchus spp.的丰度,在所有实验中增加了113 - 319%。油菜籽萝卜和芥菜增加了细菌线虫的丰度,其中油菜籽萝卜增幅最大,达335%。18S rRNA扩增子测序结果显示,覆盖作物对α和β线虫的多样性没有不利影响,而覆盖作物导致α和β线虫的丰度较高,结构指数较低。这些结果强烈表明,法国万寿菊、油籽萝卜、菊苣和紫花苜蓿是潜在的选择,并且不会对非目标有益土壤线虫群落产生不利影响。了解覆盖作物与线虫的相互作用可以扩大它们在当前生产系统之外的应用。这项研究为选择覆盖作物提供了第一步,这些作物可以维持/促进有益线虫的生长,支持土壤健康恢复,并在形成典型的英国耕地轮作的作物中抑制Pratylenchus。

Restoring natural grasslands alters the soil microbiome and biogeochemical processes, particularly carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) cycling. One of the primary ways to restore degraded grasslands is to restrict grazing for a period so that the ecosystem can recover. We examined the relationship between changes in soil microbiome composition and function with greenhouse gas emissions and soil properties during the restoration of a semiarid steppe in China. Grazing exclusion for 15 years increased CO2 and N2O emissions and CH4 uptake compared with those for 6 or 37 years. A 15- and 37-year grazing exclusion led to higher soil organic carbon levels, which correlated with increased bacterial populations and genes associated with the decomposition of carbon-rich substrates and elevated CO2 emissions. After 15 years of grazing exclusion, the abundance of methanotrophic microbes was higher, and the abundance of methanogenic microbes was lower, increasing CH4 uptake compared to continuous grazing (the control). Compared to the control (continuous grazing), 15 years of grazing exclusion resulted in elevated methanotrophic populations, depressed methanogenic populations, and consequently, enhanced CH4 uptake. Emissions of N2O increased with following increases in denitrification genes norB. Structural equation modeling revealed that grazing exclusion's effects on CO2, N2O, and CH4 fluxes were mediated by changes in plant community characteristics, soil fertility, and soil microbiomes. Further research on the microbial drivers of recovery could lead to improved management practices and ecosystem restoration and resilience.
恢复天然草地会改变土壤微生物组和生物地球化学过程,特别是碳(C)和氮(N)循环。恢复退化草原的主要方法之一是在一段时间内限制放牧,使生态系统得以恢复。研究了中国半干旱草原恢复过程中土壤微生物组组成和功能变化与温室气体排放和土壤性质的关系。与不放牧6年和37年相比,不放牧15年增加了CO2和N2O的排放和CH4的吸收。15年和37年不放牧导致土壤有机碳水平升高,这与细菌种群和与富碳基质分解相关的基因增加以及二氧化碳排放增加有关。15年不放牧后,甲烷营养微生物丰度较高,产甲烷微生物丰度较低,与连续放牧相比,CH4吸收量增加。与对照(连续放牧)相比,15年不放牧导致甲烷营养种群增加,产甲烷种群减少,从而增加了CH4的吸收。N2O排放量随着反硝化基因norB的增加而增加。结构方程模型表明,放牧对CO2、N2O和CH4通量的影响是由植物群落特征、土壤肥力和土壤微生物组的变化介导的。对恢复的微生物驱动因素的进一步研究可以改善管理措施和生态系统的恢复和恢复能力。
