Under the dual challenges of the rapid increase in the global population and the intensification of climate change, the traditional agricultural model is facing severe tests. The production mode that ...

Effects of exogenous organic matter input on soil respiration and microbial carbon utilization at the soil aggregate scale under warming conditions. The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is one of the most ...

Soil is a significant carbon reservoir, storing more carbon than all plants, animals and the atmosphere combined, making it crucial for addressing the climate crisis. Microbes, such as bacteria and ...

Microbes are by far the most important factor in determining how much carbon is stored in the soil, according to a new study with implications for mitigating climate change and improving soil health ...

Researchers from the Institute of Applied Ecology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have developed a "top-down" synthetic microbiome strategy to enrich microbial consortia capable of efficient lignin ...

Studies by a Northwestern University-led team suggest that a common environmental bacterium, Comamonas testosteroni, may someday be harnessed as nature’s plastic recycling center. Most bacteria prefer ...
