Summary: Geological carbon capture and storage (CCS) can reduce anthropogenic CO2 emissions. This study investigates the potential impacts of CO2 leakage on soils by examining the geochemistry and microbiology of a non-volcanic site where deep geogenic CO2 leaks from a cracked well casing. The study found that the high flux soils had lower pH and distinct microbial communities compared to low flux soils. These findings expand our understanding of the environmental impacts of geological CCS.

Summary: This study found that soil fungal community composition varies across soil horizons, with higher species richness and diversity in the O horizon. Total organic carbon, total organic nitrogen, alkali-hydrolyzable nitrogen, available potassium, and available phosphorus significantly influence fungal community composition, abundance, and diversity. Precipitation also has a significant effect on fungal community composition.

Summary: The effects of subtropical forest restoration types on soil aggregates and the underlying mechanisms were investigated. The research found that soil microbial communities and organic and inorganic binding agents were the main mechanisms of soil aggregation in the study area, resulting in higher soil aggregate stability in the subtropical coniferous plantation than in the natural forest.

Summary: This study investigated the soil factors influencing the development of biological denitrification inhibition (BDI) and found that initial soil moisture, ammonium concentration, and the initial abundance of certain microbial genes play significant roles in BDI development. Additionally, the research highlighted the relevance of biotic factors in explaining BDI and proposed the use of procyanidin concentration from plant belowground system as a new proxy for measuring BDI intensity.

Summary: Soil microbial community coalescence, the mixing and interaction of microbial communities, has been found to enhance the stability and complexity of rhizobacterial networks, leading to improved plant health and biomass. This study investigated the effects of different degrees of bacterial community coalescence on plant disease resistance by mixing soils from healthy and diseased habitats for watermelon planting. The results showed that mixing in more healthy soil reduced the plant disease index and increased biomass by improving the stability and complexity of the rhizobacterial network. Core taxa Nitrospirillum and Singulisphaera were enriched in the rhizosphere from healthy soils and played important roles in disease suppression and regulating the positive cohesion and modularity of the networks. Overall, these findings provide insights into the potential mechanism of microbial community coalescence for improving plant microbial community function and suggest new tools for enhancing plant fitness via soil microbiota mixing.

Summary: Maize genotypes directly affect gene expression and nitrogen uptake capacity. The feedback between maize genotypes and soil nitrogen transformations, as well as their regulations on nitrogen uptake capacity, have been studied. The findings suggest that maize genotypes play a central role in regulating these feedbacks, which are important for maize breeding and enhancing maize production.

Summary: Collembolans, the diverse group of soil invertebrates, are affected by anthropogenic climate warming, which alters their diversity and density. In addition to abiotic stressors, changes in food availability, specifically the abundance of saprotrophic and mycorrhizal fungi, influence Collembola responses to climate warming. Collembolans prefer saprotrophic fungi but rely on mycorrhizal fungi when food sources are scarce. Understanding the mechanisms behind these dietary shifts in warm-dry and warm-wet soil conditions is crucial for predicting the impact of climate change on Collembola-fungal interactions.
