Fungi show broader environmental thresholds in wet than dry agricultural soils with distinct biogeographic patterns

Zhengqing Zhang et al.

Summary: Establishing response thresholds for fungal communities and assessing the relationship between fungal diversity and nutrient cycling in soils are critical. The study in eastern China found wider environmental thresholds for soil fungi in rice fields compared to maize fields, with fungal richness positively correlated with nutrient cycling in rice soils. Further research is needed to understand patterns of soil fungal diversity in agricultural ecosystems and to consider differences between wetland and dryland in management plans for future global change.

Global patterns and controls of soil nematode responses to nitrogen enrichment: A meta-analysis

Qingqiu Zhou et al.

Summary: The responses of soil nematodes to nitrogen deposition are influenced by both nitrogen addition regimes and environmental factors. Global meta-analysis found that nitrogen addition increased the relative abundance of bacterial-feeding nematodes but decreased plant-feeding nematodes and omnivorous-predatory nematodes. This study suggests that further research on canopy nitrogen addition and tropical ecosystems can enhance our understanding of how nitrogen deposition affects soil nematodes.

Nematodes as Drivers of Plant Performance in Natural Systems

Rutger A. Wilschut et al.

Summary: This passage highlights the importance of nematodes in soil biodiversity and plant performance, emphasizing both the direct negative effects on plants and the indirect positive effects through top-down predation. It also mentions the impact of global change on these interactions and the need for better understanding to predict functional consequences accurately. Expanding the knowledge of plant-nematode interactions in natural systems is essential for gaining insights into key ecological topics and sustainable plant management.

How soil biota regulate C cycling and soil C pools in diversified crop rotations

Kaile Zhang et al.

Summary: Agricultural intensification has led to reduced soil biodiversity and ecosystem functions, but sustainable agroecosystems with crop rotation can restore soil biodiversity and promote above-belowground interactions. Studying ecological networks, soil communities, and abiotic impacts simultaneously enhances our understanding of complex carbon cycling. Higher rotational diversity increases primary productivity and stimulates above-belowground interactions, strengthening soil functions and interactions between biotic and abiotic factors.

Diversity and asynchrony in soil microbial communities stabilizes ecosystem functioning

Cameron Wagg et al.

Summary: Both theoretical and empirical research have shown the importance of biodiversity for stabilizing ecosystem functions over time. Experimental results indicate that microbial diversity plays a crucial role in enhancing the temporal stability of ecosystem functions, with asynchrony among microbial taxa serving as a key mechanism for the stabilizing effect of soil biodiversity.

Mechanistic links between biodiversity effects on ecosystem functioning and stability in a multi-site grassland experiment

Ying Yan et al.

Summary: This study developed an integrated framework to explore the linkages between biodiversity effects on ecosystem functioning and stability. It found that higher community productivity was mainly due to complementarity effects (CE), while higher community stability was mainly due to species asynchrony. The structural equation model illustrated how species evenness mediated the relationship between the various mechanisms.

The flux of root-derived carbon via fungi and bacteria into soil microarthropods (Collembola) differs markedly between cropping systems

Zhipeng Li et al.

Summary: The study found that variations in microbial community structure between different cropping systems can affect the incorporation of root-derived carbon into soil microbivores. Changes in the flux of root carbon into bacterial and fungal resources among cropping systems result in differential utilization of these resources by soil microbivores.
