Summary: This study revealed the impact of intercropping of litchi/Pinto peanut on soil attributes, enzyme activities, and bacterial diversity compared to litchi monoculture. The results showed that intercropping increased the content of certain nutrients in the soil, enhanced soil enzyme activities, increased soil microbial diversity, and promoted bacterial metabolic activity.

Summary: The study found that the substitution of bio-organic fertilizers for chemical fertilizers has significant short-term effects on the soil environment in citrus orchards, improving soil properties and reshaping bacterial ecology. A 75% substitution ratio of bio-organic fertilizer shows promising results for fertilization practice in citrus orchard soils.

Summary: The orchard inter-planting pattern is relatively new in China, and this study evaluated the effects of interrow mono- and mixed-planting of perennial ryegrass and alfalfa on soil nutrient, enzyme activity, and bacterial community diversity in apple orchards. The results demonstrated that grass inter-planting improved soil nutrient conditions, enzyme activity, and bacterial community composition. Therefore, inter-planting perennial ryegrass in apple orchards is a suitable strategy in China.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of substituting chemical fertilizer with biogas slurry on the soil bacterial community and functional structure in an apple orchard. The results showed that the application of biogas slurry significantly increased soil organic matter, alkali nitrogen, and available potassium content, as well as the weight of apple fruit and the diversity of soil bacterial community. The study demonstrated that the proper ratio application of biogas slurry and chemical fertilizer can regulate the soil bacterial composition and functional structure through changes in soil nutrients.

Summary: Characterizing the carbon and water economy of non-commercial urban citrus orchards can help determine their value in urban settings, providing shade, conservation of biodiversity, and carbon sequestration. The results suggest that urban citrus orchards have the potential to store significant amounts of carbon with high transpiration efficiencies, making them valuable in water-limited environments.

Summary: This study investigated the changes in bacterial community composition and functional diversity across different vertical soil profiles (0-20 cm, 20-40 cm, and 40-60 cm) in the red soil of pomelo orchard in Pinghe County, Fujian, China. The results showed that soil pH played a significant role in shaping the soil bacterial communities, and bacterial richness and diversity decreased with increasing soil depth. The study also highlighted the importance of soil depth and pH in the spatial distribution and ecological functioning of the soil bacterial population.

Summary: The repeated application of fungicide may have detrimental effects on the rhizosphere bacterial community of citrus. However, the usage of mancozeb did not significantly impact the chemical properties and richness and diversity of rhizosphere bacterial community in citrus-cultivated soil.

Summary: Research has shown that there are differences in bacterial composition at the small scale among different soils, with one soil exhibiting a satellite distribution mode and the other three showing bimodal distributions. Multiple core taxa were found across the four soils, with 8 OTUs common to all four sites. These results highlight the importance of analyzing small-scale spatial distribution for understanding ecosystem functioning.

Summary: The study investigated changes in arthropod communities in a citrus orchard following soil inundation with entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) and found that certain arthropod taxa declined or increased in response to EPN augmentation, representing potential prey or predators of EPN. The study also revealed that regulation of EPN by various microarthropod species was a cumulative response rather than driven by a few key species.

Summary: Different mulching techniques have distinct impacts on the soil bacterial composition and citrus quality. Reflective film mulching has the best effect, while traditional flat planting has the worst. Mulching decreases the Shannon index and Chloroflexi abundance is positively correlated with citrus quality.

Summary: Soil microbial communities in grasslands are affected by degradation levels, with degradation influencing fungal community structure more significantly than bacterial community structure. Soil properties, such as nutrients and texture, are major drivers of fungal community composition and structure, while soil pH plays a larger role in bacterial community. This study emphasizes the importance of managing and restoring degraded grasslands by prioritizing soil fungal community.

Summary: This study compared the effects of biochar and hydroxyapatite on soil bacterial communities in a slightly Cd-contaminated farmland grown with sweet sorghum of different planting densities. The results showed that both biochar and hydroxyapatite decreased the diversity and richness of soil bacteria, but they had different effects on bacterial community structure. These findings contribute to a better understanding of the ecological impacts of soil remediation agents.
