Summary: The long-term effects of different combined organic-chemical fertilizer regimes on denitrifying communities were investigated in this study. The results showed that the application of combined organic-chemical fertilizers significantly increased the abundance of nirK and nirS genes, with a more pronounced effect in the GM treatment. In addition, changes in soil pH and organic matter were identified as key factors influencing the abundance and composition of the denitrifying communities.

Summary: This study investigated the changes in bacterial abundance, community composition, and diversity under different N application rates in a water-limited area. The results showed that N application significantly affected bacterial abundance, community composition, and structure, as well as the functions of bacterial community. Bacterial diversity was enhanced at low N application rates, but reduced at higher N application rates.

Summary: The study found that the release of cry1Ab transgenic rice had effects on either the composition of bacterial communities or the abundance of microbial functional genes in the paddy soil. Although there were no differences in the alpha diversity indexes of the bacterial communities, the bacterial communities in the paddy soil with GM rice were separated from those of paddy soil with non-GM rice at each growth stage of rice, indicating significant differences in microbial communities between the two types of rice.

Summary: High-yielding dairy cows require high-grain diets to meet their energy demands, but excessive grain feeding can lead to subacute ruminal acidosis (SARA) and disrupt the taxonomic composition and functionality of the microbial populations in the digestive tract. Our study found that SARA altered the populations of various bacterial taxa attached to the epithelia in the digestive tract, potentially reducing the beneficial effects of these bacteria and increasing the risk of pathogenic invasion. The effects of SARA were most pronounced in the rumen and large intestine, with differing impacts on the small intestine, highlighting the need for further research on the consequences of dysbiosis caused by SARA.

Summary: This study analyzed the bacterial community composition (BCC) and their relationships with environmental factors in the sediment of Sayram Lake, the largest alpine and cold-water inland lake in China. The results showed that the dominant phyla in the sediment were Proteobacteria, Acidobacteria, and Planctomycetes, and total organic carbon (TOC) was the main environmental factor affecting the spatial distribution of BCC. This study greatly enhances our understanding of the microbial ecology of alpine lakes in arid and semi-arid ecosystems.

Summary: This study aims to investigate the dynamics of earthworm gut microbiota during vermicomposting. The results showed that the dynamics of foregut and hindgut bacteria differed in terms of diversity, composition, and structure, which were related to changes in nutrient provision. Day 3 was a crucial turning point, with little overlap in abundant bacteria between the foregut and hindgut. At the end of vermicomposting, a stable bacterial structure appeared in the hindgut, while the foregut exhibited a more muddled structure. Understanding the dynamics of earthworm gut microbiota is essential for improving the efficiency of organic waste vermicomposting.

Summary: A 10-year field experiment showed that different fertilization treatments did not significantly affect microbial alpha diversity, but changed soil properties and thus impacted microbial community structure. Bacterial phyla Proteobacteria, Chloroflexi, and Acidobacteria, as well as fungal phyla Ascomycota and Basidiomycota dominated all fertilization treatments. Soil total potassium (TK) concentration was a major factor driving bacterial community structure variation, while soil TN and NO3--N were important factors shaping fungal community structure.

Summary: The effects of long-term fertilization treatments on rice yield and soil microbial communities were assessed. Organic-inorganic fertilizer treatment showed the highest rice yield and bacterial richness. Fertilization treatments altered the beta diversity of communities, species composition, and structure of soil microbial networks. The research provides insights on the effects of different fertilization regimes on soil microbial communities and their contributions to crop yield.

Summary: The practice of tomato-rice rotation in subtropical and tropical regions in China enhances crop productivity and suppresses soil-borne plant pathogens. Over two years of experimentation, it was found that beneficial bacterial and fungal communities increased significantly, while potentially pathogenic fungi decreased. Soil acidification was improved and soil total phosphorus was identified as a key factor influencing microbial communities.

Summary: Agricultural irrigation and fertigation systems have significant effects on soil microenvironment and bacterial community structure. The mulched fertigation system (MF) can increase bacterial abundance and diversity, as well as the relative abundance of beneficial bacteria. Moreover, MF can promote the health and stability of agroecosystems.

Summary: To ensure long-term food production in a changing world, it is critical to identify field management practices that increase crop yields and maintain soil health. In this study, a 20-year investigation was conducted to examine the effects of different combinations of fertilizer types and amounts on wheat yield and soil health. The results showed that high dosages of bio-fertilizer can significantly increase the fertilizer yield contribution rate and improve soil biological quality, bacterial biodiversity, and soil health index.

Summary: The study found that the abundance and diversity of nirK-type denitrifiers in paddy fields are more sensitive to inorganic and organic mixed fertilization compared to nirS-type denitrifiers. Fertilization significantly altered the proportion of dominant OTUs of both denitrifiers, with total nitrogen and organic carbon correlating with the abundance and community structure of nirK-type denitrifiers.

Summary: Enhancing cropping intensity is the most effective and significant method to improve regional crop production and ensure food security. However, our understanding of the impacts of reduced cropping intensity on soil quality and ecosystem multifunctionality (EMF) with soil depth remains incomplete in tropical regions. We performed a 4-year field experiment to investigate the effects of cropping intensity on soil quality and EMF at different depths. The results showed that reduced cropping intensity improved topsoil quality but had no significant impacts on soil carbon and nitrogen storage, as well as soil EMF at greater depths.

Summary: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from agroecosystems are a major contributor to global warming and ozone depletion. This study investigated the effects of manure application and irrigation on N2O emissions in a wheat-maize cropping system. The results showed that manure application reduced N2O emissions by 25-51% compared to chemical fertilizer, particularly during the two weeks after fertilization combined with irrigation. Furthermore, manure application maintained grain nitrogen yield, while increasing N2O emissions.

Summary: The introduction of legumes into rotations can improve nitrogen use efficiency and crop yield, but the microbial mechanism involved remains unclear. This study investigated the temporal impact of peanut introduction on microorganisms related to nitrogen metabolism and found that peanut introduction increased wheat yield and biomass. The rotation system significantly changed the diazotrophic community structures, and the diversity of diazotrophic communities and soil properties significantly affected wheat yield.

Summary: The impact of plant growth stages on the wheat rhizosphere microbial community is stronger than the legacy effect of previous rotation systems. Differences in fungal community structure were observed in both the regreening and filling stages among rotation systems, while differences in bacterial community structure were only observed at the filling stage. The microbial network's complexity and centrality decreased as the crop grew. The abundance of KEGG orthologs associated with bacterial community metabolism decreased from the regreening to the filling stage, but there was no difference among rotation systems.
