Antarctic Bacterium’s Metabolite Cocktail Unlocks Locked-Up Phosphorus in Soils
A pyoverdine-like siderophore and its co-produced metabolites from an Antarctic Pseudomonas strain mobilize iron-bound and calcium-bound phosphorus across acidic and ...
Biodegradable Plastic Mulch Residues Reshape Soil Life Differently in Loamy and Sandy Soils
A year-long incubation study shows that biodegradable plastic mulch residues stimulate microbial biomass and reshape soil aggregates differently in loamy ...
Silicon fertilizer could turn rice paddies into methane-fighting climate allies
A new opinion paper in Plant and Soil proposes that silicon fertilization reshapes paddy soil microbes to suppress methane emissions ...
Hidden Deep Soil Carbon Emerges as a Hidden Cost of Coastal Wetland Restoration
An 18-month field experiment in Hangzhou Bay shows that plastic mulching during coastal wetland restoration desalinizes the entire soil profile, ...
Biochar by the Tonne Is Failing Science: Why Function, Not Mass, Should Set the Dose
A new perspective argues that dosing biochar by mass rather than by delivered functional capacity is the hidden reason soil ...
Drying Rice Paddies on Purpose Slashes Methane and Reshapes Soil Chemistry in Vietnam
A three-season field study in Vietnam shows that alternate wetting and drying irrigation cuts methane production potential by roughly 62 ...
Tiny Desert Crusts Hold Winter Snow — and Carbon — in Place
A long-term field study shows moss-dominated biocrusts retain winter snowpack in cold deserts, sustaining soil biogeochemistry and microbial carbon cycling ...
Clay Surface Area and Pore Size Steer Soil Carbon Storage Differently
New pot experiments show that clay mineral surface area controls mineral-associated soil carbon while pore size governs physically protected particulate ...
Microbes’ Energy Budget, Not Carbon Supply, Governs How Much Carbon Soils Can Store
A global analysis shows that soil carbon storage is controlled less by the amount of carbon entering soils and more ...
