Soil enzymes as indicators of soil function: A step toward greater realism in microbial ecological modeling

Gangsheng Wang et al.

Summary: The study developed a competitive dynamic enzyme allocation scheme and detailed enzyme-mediated soil inorganic N processes in the Microbial-ENzyme Decomposition (MEND) model, using soil enzymes as indicators of soil function. The model successfully simulated soil CO2 fluxes and multiple N variables, as well as predicted microbial C:N ratios and their response to enriched N supply accurately. Validation showed that changes in enzyme activities in response to elevated atmospheric CO2 concentration were better explained by measured gene abundances.

Fire decreases soil enzyme activities and reorganizes microbially mediated nutrient cycles: A meta-analysis

Yong Zhou et al.

Summary: The biogeochemical signature of fire affects the functioning of ecosystems by altering soil extracellular enzyme activities (EEAs) and nutrient cycles. Fire reduces EEAs by decreasing soil microbial biomass and organic matter substrates, resulting in a slower microbially mediated nutrient cycle, particularly for phosphorus. These effects may become increasingly important as fire frequency and severity continue to change in response to global change.

Maize root exudate composition alters rhizosphere bacterial community to control hotspots of hydrolase activity in response to nitrogen supply

Cunkang Hao et al.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of nitrogen deprivation on rhizosphere bacterial communities and root exudates, as well as the formation of hydrolase activity hotspots in maize rhizosphere. The results showed that nitrogen supply had a greater impact on rhizosphere enzyme activity and extent than changes in enzyme activity rates. Additionally, nitrogen deprivation also led to a decrease in oligotrophic bacteria populations and an increase in copiotrophic bacteria populations. The study also found that the composition of root exudates was strongly associated with changes in rhizosphere NAG activity.

Response of soil organic carbon content to crop rotation and its controls: A global synthesis

Xiaotong Liu et al.

Summary: Global studies have shown that crop rotation can significantly increase soil organic carbon (SOC) content. The response of SOC content to crop rotation is influenced by climate, soil texture, and agronomic factors. The effect of crop rotation varies in different climate types, and neutral soils with loamy texture and appropriate initial SOC and total nitrogen levels are beneficial for increasing SOC content. Moreover, factors such as the number of rotation cycles, rotation length, nitrogen fertilization rate, and agronomic practices like no-till, straw retention, and organic fertilization also affect SOC content.

Soil nitrogen status can be improved through no-tillage adoption particularly in the surface soil layer: A global meta-analysis

Surajit Mondal et al.

Summary: This study conducted a global meta-analysis and found that no-tillage (NT) farming can increase soil nitrogen concentration and stock, especially in continental and temperate climates. Soil texture has a minimal impact on the effects of NT, while the duration of NT adoption can further enhance soil nitrogen content. The choice of crop rotation also influences the NT effect. No-tillage farming benefits soil nitrogen, but potential nitrogen release from soil organic matter should be considered when applying fertilizer nitrogen under NT conditions.

Ecoenzymatic stoichiometry reveals stronger microbial carbon and nitrogen limitation in biochar amendment soils: A meta-analysis

Zhe Chen et al.

Summary: This study conducted a meta-analysis using ecoenzymatic stoichiometry to evaluate the influence of biochar amendment on microbial metabolic limitation. The results showed that biochar significantly increased the activities of carbon and nitrogen acquisition enzymes, but had no significant impact on phosphorus acquisition enzymes. Biochar also led to an increased nitrogen limitation or a shift from phosphorus limitation to nitrogen limitation in microbial metabolism. Wood biochar caused the strongest microbial carbon limitation, particularly in soils with low initial soil organic carbon content.

Impacts of the components of conservation agriculture on soil organic carbon and total nitrogen storage: A global meta-analysis

Yves N'Dri Bohoussou et al.

Summary: Conservation agriculture (CA) is an important strategy for increasing soil organic carbon (SOC) and total nitrogen (TN) content. Research shows that CA practices can significantly increase SOC and TN stock compared to conventional practices, particularly in the 0-15 cm soil depth. The use of manure and manure mixed with mineral-N has shown greater potential for SOC sequestration than mineral-N alone. Additionally, cropping systems that include legume residue can decrease the C/N ratio, but adequate mineral-N fertilizer addition may be necessary to improve SOC and TN content.

Net effects of conservation agriculture principles on sustainable land use: A synthesis

Liangang Xiao et al.

Summary: Despite strong recommendations from scientists, many farmers worldwide are still unsure about whether to till or not due to concerns about crop yield decline and negative impacts on soils and the environment. A review of 49 recent meta-analyses found that no-tillage led to a significant decrease in crop yield, while residue retention was key for improving crop production. In conservation agriculture, residue retention may play a more critical role than no-tillage in achieving sustainable land use.

The effect of global change on soil phosphatase activity

Olga Margalef et al.

Summary: Nitrogen fertilization increases soil phosphatase activity, while phosphorus fertilization has the opposite effect. Rising atmospheric CO2 levels and the arrival of invasive species lead to higher soil phosphatase activity, but recurrent drought episodes decrease activity. Future soil phosphatase activity will depend not only on current soil conditions, but also on potential compensations or amplifications among different drivers of global change.
