Soil salinization threatens crop production; however, in multi-crop field systems, evidence for the effectiveness of waste biomass-functional microorganism composite amendments remains limited. Here, we developed a composite microbial soil conditione...
Elucidating the impact of rhizosphere microbial communities in the Caragana intermedia forest on soil polyfunctionality can significantly enhance our understanding of the microbial mechanisms underpinning soil multi-functionality, which is crucial fo...
The return of straw and manure to agricultural fields can impact soil organic carbon (SOC) and biological properties. However, there is a lack of research on how to use swine manure, maize straw, and various conditioners together affects soil bacteri...
Significant quantities of food waste are accumulated globally on an annual basis, with approximately one-third of the food produced (equivalent to 1.3 billion tons of food) being wasted each year. A potential food waste recycling application is its u...
Ethanol exposure causes microbial imbalance, damages the gut barrier, and increases oxidative stress along the gut–liver axis, leading to the development and progression of alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD). Arginine is a conditionally ess...
Earthworms mix soil layers and bind the soil with organic matter. This combination allows organic matter to disperse through the soil and also allows plants to access the nutrients they retains and enhance the soil’s fertility. Earthworms impro...
Biological soil crusts (BSCs) hold promise for reducing soil erosion in subtropical forest plantations, and microorganisms profoundly affect the formation and development of BSCs. The effects of biochar as a soil conditioner on the diversity and stru...
This study investigated the effects of nano zero-valent iron-modified biochar (nZVI@BC) as a soil amendment on potted rice growth, soil properties, and heavy metal dynamics. Seven treatments with varying amounts of soil conditioner, biochar, and nZVI...
L-proline (Pro) is a conditionally essential amino acid that has been reported to exert protective effects on intestinal health. This research investigated whether Pro supplementation reduces intestinal inflammation in weaned rabbits, and whether thi...
Soil degradation in both agricultural and urban environments is accelerating due to intensive land use, plastic pollution, construction practices, and climate change, threatening ecosystem stability, food security, and carbon storage capacity. This r...
Chemical and plant-based strategies have become increasingly critical for the remediation of saline–alkali soils. However, the underlying mechanisms driving improvements in soil quality and ecological functionality remain insufficiently underst...
Biofertilizer as an amendment has growing awareness. Little attention has been paid to bioremediation potential of indigenous heavy-metal-resistant microbes, especially when isolated from long-term polluted soil, as a bioinoculant in biofertilizers....
Sodium ions (Na+) are typically the dominant ions in soil salts, where their excessive accumulation forms sodic saline soils with degraded structure that harms crops and soil biota. However, the adverse effects of Na+ on soil functions and microorgan...
Anatomical, chemical, and physical properties are critical for optimizing bamboo applications. This study evaluated the radial variability of these properties in four bamboo species (Guadua chacoensis, Dendrocalamus strictus, Bambusa nutans, and Dend...
Acidified soils in greenhouse vegetable systems constrain crop production and soil ecological functions. This study investigated the effects of different amendment treatments on soil ecological factors in acidified soils under greenhouse spinach cult...
