Different Response of Soil Microbial Carbon Use Efficiency in Compound of Feldspathic Sandstone and Sand by Yao Zhang, Junqi Wang, Lan Chen, Sha Zhou, Lu Zhang, Fazhu Zhao

“…The stoichiometry of efficient soil microbial carbon use is a sensitive index for measuring changes in soil quality and plays a crucial role in research on ecological stoichiometry in the soil nutrient cycle. To further understand the effect of feldspathic sandstone and sand compound ratios on microbial carbon use efficiency (CUE), we simulated the field conditions of the feldspathic sandstone-sand compound layer in the Mu Us sandy land and analyzed the soil C:N:P ratio, microbial biomass, extracellular enzyme activity, and microbial carbon use efficiency in soils with different compound ratios. …”

Effects of Urbanization on Ecosystem Services in the Shandong Peninsula Urban Agglomeration, in China: The Case of Weifang City by Yuejuan Yang, Hao Zhang, Xinquan Zhao, Zhizhang Chen, Aiguo Wang, Enlai Zhao, Hui Cao

“…The results were as follows: (1) The variation in population, GDP, and built-up areas consistently increased throughout the study period, whereas the ecosystem service values (ESVs) decreased; (2) food production, raw material production, nutrient cycle maintenance, and soil conservation were decisive ecosystem services that led to vast reductions in ESVs during the process of urbanization; and (3) the negative correlation coefficient between built-up areas and ecosystem services was greater than that between the population or GDP and ecosystem services, which indicated that the impacts of population and economic urbanization on ecosystem services lagged behind the impact of land urbanization. …”

Farmers’ perceptions on organic fertilisers towards circularity – a case study in Sweden by Priscila de Morais Lima, Helena Aronsson, Line Strand, Marie Björs, Athanasios Pantelopoulos

“…ABSTRACTAdequate treatment of organic manures and digestates from livestock production should reduce environmental impacts and provide well-defined and attractive biofertlisers for a crop production market, which can promote the closure of the nutrient cycle in agriculture. In this sense, a survey was conducted during the autumn of 2021 to investigate Swedish farmers’ perspectives on organic fertilisers use. …”

Plant Diversity and Fungal Richness Regulate the Changes in Soil Multifunctionality in a Semi-Arid Grassland by Zhuo Li, Xiaowei Liu, Minghui Zhang, Fu Xing

“…We used Illumina HiSeq sequencing to determine soil bacterial and fungal diversity and evaluated soil functions associated with the nutrient cycle. We found that high diversity plant assemblages had a higher ratio of below-ground biomass to above-ground biomass, soil multifunctionality, and lower microbial carbon limitation than those with low diversity. …”

Response mechanisms of bacterial communities and nitrogen cycle functional genes in millet rhizosphere soil to chromium stress by Xue Bai, Yvjing Li, Xiuqing Jing, Xiaodong Zhao, Pengyu Zhao

“…IntroductionA growing amount of heavy metal contamination in soil disturbs the ecosystem’s equilibrium, in which microbial populations play a key role in the nutrient cycle of soils. However, given the different sensitivity of microbial communities to different spatial and temporal scales, microbial community structure and function also have varied response mechanisms to different heavy metal contaminated habitats.MethodsIn this study, samples were taken prior to Cr stress (CK) and 6 h and 6 days after Cr stress (Cr_6h, Cr_6d) in laboratory experiments. …”
