Soil organic carbon and soil structure are driving microbial abundance and community composition across the arid and semi-arid grasslands in northern China
Yajun Hu,Dan Xiang,Stavros D. Veresoglou,Falin Chen,Yongliang Chen,Zhipeng Hao,Xin Zhang,Baodong Chen +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a large-scale field investigation of the distribution patterns of microbes across arid and semi-arid grassland ecosystems covering an area of 690,000 km(2) in northern China was performed.

Impact of long-term N additions upon coupling between soil microbial community structure and activity, and nutrient-use efficiencies
TL;DR: In this article, the changes of soil physical-chemical parameters and structural shifts in the microbial community after 10 years of N addition (urea fertilizer), in a wheat field with five rates of N application (0, 90, 180, 270 and 360 kg n−1), and conducted a laboratory incubation experiment to detect microbial community activity.

Long-term monitoring of soil management effects on runoff and soil erosion in sloping vineyards in Alto Monferrato (North–West Italy)
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of agricultural management practices on the hydrologic, soil erosion, nutrient transport and soil compaction processes in vineyards have been evaluated using long-term runoff and soil erosion data collected from differently managed field-scale vineyard plots within the Tenuta Cannona Experimental Vine and Wine Center of Regione Piemonte, located in the Alto Monferrato vine production area (NW Italy).
Evaluation of Streptomyces strains isolated from herbal vermicompost for their plant growth-promotion traits in rice.

TL;DR: Of the six actinomycetes characterized for in vitro plant growth-promoting (PGP) properties and evaluated in the field for PGP activity in rice,CAI-85 and CAI-93 were found superior over other act in terms of PGP properties, root development and crop productivity.

Low investment in sexual reproduction threatens plants adapted to phosphorus limitation
Yuki Fujita,Harry Olde Venterink,Peter M. van Bodegom,Jacob C. Douma,Gerrit W. Heil,Norbert Hölzel,Ewa Jabłońska,Wiktor Kotowski,Thomasz Okruszko,Paweł Pawlikowski,Peter C. de Ruiter,Martin J. Wassen +11 more
TL;DR: It is shown that the impacts of nitrogen:phosphorus stoichiometry on plant species richness can be explained by selected plant life-history traits, notably by plant investments in growth versus reproduction.

Analysis of factors controlling soil organic matter levels in Great Plains grasslands
TL;DR: In this article, a model of soil organic matter (SOM) quantity and composition was used to simulate steady-state organic matter levels for 24 grassland locations in the U.S. Great Plains.

Terrestrial ecosystem production: A process model based on global satellite and surface data
Christopher S. Potter,James T. Randerson,Christopher B. Field,Pamela A. Matson,Peter M. Vitousek,Harold A. Mooney,Steven Klooster +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a modeling approach aimed at seasonal resolution of global climatic and edaphic controls on patterns of terrestrial ecosystem production and soil microbial respiration using satellite imagery (Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer and International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project solar radiation), along with historical climate (monthly temperature and precipitation) and soil attributes (texture, C and N contents) from global (1°) data sets as model inputs.
Climatic, edaphic, and biotic controls over storage and turnover of carbon in soils
David S. Schimel,Bobby H. Braswell,Elisabeth A. Holland,Rebecca McKeown,Dennis S. Ojima,Thomas H. Painter,William J. Parton,Alan R. Townsend +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the Century ecosystem model was applied to a series of forest and grassland sites distributed globally to examine large-scale controls over soil carbon, including soil texture and foliar lignin content.
Model estimates of CO2 emissions from soil in response to global warming
TL;DR: In this article, the Rothamsted model is used to calculate the amount of CO2 that would be released from the world stock of soil organic matter if temperatures increase as predicted, the annual return of plant debris to the soil being held constant.

The role of biology in the formation, stabilization and degradation of soil structure
TL;DR: In this paper, the formation of soil structure involves the physical forces of shrinking and swelling created by changes in water status of soils, freezing and thawing, tillage, or by movement of the larger biota in soils.
