Soil elemental cycles become more coupled in response to increased nitrogen deposition in a semiarid shrubland Plant Soil (IF 4.9) Pub Date : 2024-04-05 Cristina Caetano-Sánchez, Juan Piñero, Raúl Ochoa-Hueso
Background and aims Increased N deposition can break the coupled associations among chemical elements in soil, many of which are essential plant nutrients. We evaluated the effects of four years of N deposition (0, 10, 20, 50 kg N ha−1 yr−1) on the temporal dynamics of the spatial co-variation (i.e., coupling) among ten chemical elements in soils from a semiarid shrubland in central Spain.

Bottom-up perspective – The role of roots and rhizosphere in climate change adaptation and mitigation in agroecosystems Plant Soil (IF 4.9) Pub Date : 2024-04-04
Abstract Background and Aims Climate change is happening and causing severe impact on the sustainability of agroecosystems. We argue that many of the abiotic stresses associated with climate change will be most acutely perceived by the plant at the root-soil interface and are likely to be mitigated at this globally important interface. In this review we will focus on the direct impacts of climate change

Soil organic phosphorus is mainly hydrolyzed via phosphatases from ectomycorrhiza-associated bacteria rather than ectomycorrhizal fungi Plant Soil (IF 4.9) Pub Date : 2024-04-03 Jing Yuan, Rui Yan, Xueqiong Zhang, Kai Su, Hui Liu, Xin Wei, Ran Wang, Lanlan Huang, Nianwu Tang, Shanping Wan, Wei Liu, Hans Lambers, Yi Zheng, Xinhua He, Fuqiang Yu, Yanliang Wang
Background and aims Mycorrhizal fungi-released phosphatases have long been claimed pivotal to mobilize soil organic phosphorus (P). We hypothesized that ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi, compared with their saprotrophic ancestors, evolved adaptive strategies to enhance the release of phosphatases to meet the P demand of ECM fungi and their host plants. Methods We analyzed genes potentially encoding secreted
