Nanoplastics are emerging environmental contaminants that increasingly threaten soil ecosystems, yet their effects on microbial behavior remain poorly understood. This is mainly due to the lack of experimental tools capable of directly observing micr...
Microplastics (MPs) in soil can paradoxically stimulate microbial biomass in a highly context-dependent manner, potentially inducing decomposition and affecting carbon and nitrogen cycles. We conducted a global meta-analysis with 90 studies (710 obse...
Covering mine tailings with uncontaminated soil is a common strategy to mitigate environmental impacts and promote ecosystem recovery during post-mining land reclamation. Topsoil is often stockpiled for future use as a capping layer, but prolonged st...
Plants release a substantial fraction of their photosynthesized carbon into the rhizosphere as root exudates that drive microbiome assembly. Deciphering how plants modulate the composition and activities of rhizosphere microbiota through root exudate...
Research on urban soils has traditionally neglected two significant dimensions: the spatial heterogeneity emerging within megacity resulting from varying urbanization rates, and the dynamic responses of soil microbial communities to ongoing urban exp...

This study explores the potential of machine learning to predict nitrogen fixation efficiency in rhizobia strains associated with cowpea (Vigna unguiculata), aiming to optimize bioinoculant selection for sustainable agriculture. Eight native strains ...
The soil microbiome plays a crucial role in maintaining healthy ecosystems and supporting sustainable agriculture. Studying its biogeographical structure and distribution is essential for understanding the rates and mechanisms of microbially mediated...
Metal nanoparticles (MNPs) offer great potential to enable precision and sustainable agriculture. However, a comprehensive understanding of the interactions between multiple MNPs and soil properties, including impacts on overall soil health, remains ...
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is one of the most alarming antibiotic-resistant pathogens causing nosocomial and community-acquired infections. Actinomycetes, particularly Streptomycetes, have historically been a major source of n...
Global industrialization has resulted in severe contamination of soil with heavy metals (HMs). Nevertheless, it is unclear if it affects the depth-resolved bacterial communities. Herein, we collected soil samples at different depths from a typical HM...
