Decreased soil aggregation and reduced soil organic carbon activity in conventional vegetable fields converted from paddy fields

Quanbo Yu et al.

Summary: Soil structure degradation leads to the decrease of water-stable soil aggregates, which in turn reduces the protective effect of soil organic carbon. The loss of O-alkyl C has a significant impact on the stability of soil aggregates after conversion from paddy fields to vegetable fields.

No Tillage Increases SOM in Labile Fraction but Not Stable Fraction of Andosols from a Long-Term Experiment in Japan

Jeannette Aduhene-Chinbuah et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the effect of no tillage (NT) on soil organic matter (SOM) content and distribution, and found that NT increased SOM content in the surface layers and improved the quality of labile organic matter.

Soil organic matter formation is controlled by the chemistry and bioavailability of organic carbon inputs across different land uses

Mohammad Bahadori et al.

Summary: Soil organic matter formation is influenced by land use and vegetation type, which can affect the chemical composition and labile OC fractions during the transformation processes. Regardless of the vegetation type, the stability of organic carbon increases as it transforms from leaf to litter to SOM, leading to converging chemical composition in SOM formation.

Biodiversity and ecosystem functioning: Have our experiments and indices been underestimating the role of facilitation?

Alexandra J. Wright et al.

Summary: Through experiments and mechanistic approaches, positive relationships between biodiversity and ecosystem functioning are studied. In addition to competition and resource partitioning, various facilitative mechanisms are identified, such as reduction of species-specific pathogens and improvement of soil nutrient cycling.

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.

Forage Species Identity Shapes Soil Biota in a Temperate Agroecosystem

Denise M. Finney et al.

Summary: Increasing plant diversity in perennial pasture-crop rotations is expected to positively influence belowground productivity and microbial communities. However, this study suggests that species identity may have a stronger impact on belowground agroecosystems services than species richness, with certain species showing specific effects on root biomass and microbial communities.
