Ozone affects plant, insect, and soil microbial communities : a threat to terrestrial ecosystems and biodiversity by Agathokleous, Evgenios, Feng, Zhaozhong, Oksanen, Elina, Sicard, Pierre, Wang, Qi, Saitanis, Costas J., Araminiene, Valda, Blande, James D., Hayes, Felicity, Calatayud, Vicent, Domingos, Marisa, Veresoglou, Stavros D., Peñuelas, Josep, Wardle, David A., De Marco, Alessandra, Li, Zhengzhen, Harmens, Harry, Yuan, Xiangyang, Vitale, Marcello, Paoletti, Elena

“…We reviewed how ozone affects (i) the composition and diversity of plant communities by affecting key physiological traits; (ii) foliar chemistry and the emission of volatiles, thereby affecting plant-plant competition, plant-insect interactions, and the composition of insect communities; and (iii) plant-soil-microbe interactions and the composition of soil communities by disrupting plant litterfall and altering root exudation, soil enzymatic activities, decomposition, and nutrient cycling. The community composition of soil microbes is consequently changed, and alpha diversity is often reduced. …”

No effect of thermal maturity on the Mo, U, Cd, and Zn isotope compositions of Lower Jurassic organic-rich sediments by Dickson, AJ, Idiz, E, Porcelli, D, Murphy, MJ, Celestino, R, Jenkyns, HC, Poulton, SW, Hesselbo, SP, Hooker, JN, Ruhl, M, van den Boorn, SHJM

“…The isotope ratios of redox-sensitive metals in organic-rich rocks are critical tools for quantifying the timing and severity of deoxygenation and nutrient cycling in Earth’s past. The resilience of isotopic data to thermal alteration of the host sediments over millions of years of burial is, however, largely unknown. …”

Sustained organic amendments utilization enhances ratoon crop growth and soil quality by enriching beneficial metabolites and suppressing pathogenic bacteria by Nyumah Fallah, Nyumah Fallah, Ziqin Pang, Ziqin Pang, Zhaoli Lin, Witness Joseph Nyimbo, Wenxiong Lin, Sylvain Ntambo Mbuya, Captoline Ishimwe, Captoline Ishimwe, Hua Zhang

“…Additionally, little is known about how the long-term interaction of these substrates and compounds influences sugarcane ratooning soil enzyme activities, nutrient cycling, and crop growth performance.MethodsTo answer these questions, we adopted metabolomics tools combined with high-throughput sequencing to explore the stimulatory effects of the long-term addition of FM and BC on metabolites (e.g., PLA and abscisic aldehyde) and quantify these substrates’ regulatory effects on disease-causing bacteria, soil enzyme activities, nutrient cycling, and crop growth performance.ResultsThe result revealed that ratoon crop weight, stem diameter, sugar content, as well as soil physico-chemical properties, including soil nitrate (NH3+-N), organic matter (OM), total nitrogen (TN), total carbon (TC), and β-glucosidase, marked a significant increase under the BC and FM-amended soils. …”
