The microplastisphere: biodegradable microplastics addition alters soil microbial community structure and function
Jie Zhou,Jie Zhou,Heng Gui,Callum C. Banfield,Yuan Wen,Huadong Zang,Michaela A. Dippold,Adam Charlton,Davey L. Jones,Davey L. Jones +9 more
TL;DR: Plastics accumulating in the environment, especially microplastics (defined as particles) are identified as a major threat to the health of humans as mentioned in this paper, and they are removed from the environment.

Hotspots of microbial activity induced by earthworm burrows, old root channels, and their combination in subsoil
Duyen T.T. Hoang,Johanna Pausch,Bahar S. Razavi,Irina Kuzyakova,Callum C. Banfield,Yakov Kuzyakov +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, earthworms (Lumbricus terrestris L.) exert stronger effects on microbial activities than decaying plant roots (Cichorium intybus L.) in the subsoil because of the addition of pre-digested organic material.

Biopore history determines the microbial community composition in subsoil hotspots
TL;DR: Only recent communities were affected and they reflect a strong heterogeneity of microbial activity and functions in subsoil hotspots, whereas biopore-specific necromass accumulation from different microbial groups was absent.

Decreased rhizodeposition, but increased microbial carbon stabilization with soil depth down to 3.6 m
Leanne Peixoto,Lars Elsgaard,Jim Rasmussen,Yakov Kuzyakov,Callum C. Banfield,Michaela A. Dippold,Jørgen E. Olesen +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, 13C multiple pulse labeling was applied to trace C flows in roots, rhizodeposition, and soil as well as 13C incorporation into microbial groups by phospholipid fatty acids and the long-term stabilization of microbial residues by amino sugars.
Six months of L. terrestris L. activity in root-formed biopores increases nutrient availability, microbial biomass and enzyme activity
Miriam Athmann,Timo Kautz,Callum C. Banfield,Sara L. Bauke,Duyen T.T. Hoang,Marcel Lüsebrink,Johanna Pausch,Wulf Amelung,Yakov Kuzyakov,Ulrich Köpke +9 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that, in only six months, L. terrestris in arable fields modified ordinarily nutrient-rich biopores into ‘super-hotspots’ of microbial biomass, enzyme activity and nutrient availabilities, suggesting that even short-term promotion of earthworm populations by agricultural management practices can increase microbial biomass and enzyme activity inBiopores.
