- Abstract:
- ... Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are very abundant in many agricultural soils and are important in increasing and maintaining the sustainability of agricultural systems. However, high soil fertility, especially high available soil phosphorus (P) status, often limits AM fungal development in intensively managed agricultural systems and results in the C-costs to the host plant outweighing any benef ...

- ... Microbe-assisted phytoremediation is emerging as one of the most effective means by which plants and their associated rhizosphere microbes degrade organic contaminants in soils. A pot study was conducted to examine the effects of inoculation with Rhizobium meliloti on phytoremediation by alfalfa grown for 90 days in an agricultural soil contaminated with weathered polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons ...

- Abstract:
- ... In recent years large areas of conventional cereal production in China have been transferred to greenhouse production with huge excessive nitrogen (N) fertilizer application and massive irrigation. However, the effects of this change in land use on soil carbon and nitrogen pools remain to be explored. Here we report a comparative study in which paired soil samples were taken from four greenhouses ...

- Abstract:
- ... Soil acidification is a major problem in soils of intensive Chinese agricultural systems. We used two nationwide surveys, paired comparisons in numerous individual sites, and several long-term monitoring-field data sets to evaluate changes in soil acidity. Soil pH declined significantly (P < 0.001) from the 1980s to the 2000s in the major Chinese crop-production areas. Processes related to nitroge ...

- Abstract:
- ... Interest in nitrogen inputs via atmospheric deposition to agricultural ecosystems has increased recently, especially on the North China Plain because of extremely intensive agricultural systems and rapid urbanization in this region. Nitrogen deposition may make a significant contribution to crop N requirements but may also impose a considerable nutrient burden on the environment in general. We qua ...

A field experiment was conducted to study the effects of inoculation with the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus Glomus caledonium and/or Rhizobium meliloti on phytoremediation of an agricultural soil contaminated with weathered PCBs by alfalfa grown for 180 days. Planting alfalfa (P), alfalfa inoculated with G. caledonium (P+AM), alfalfa inoculated with R. meliloti (P+R), and alfalfa co-inoculated wit ...

- Abstract:
- ... Intensive greenhouse vegetable-production systems commonly utilize excessive fertilizer inputs that are inconsistent with sustainable production and may affect soil quality. Soil samples were collected from 15 commercial greenhouses used for tomato production and from neighboring fields used for wheat cropping to determine the effects of intensive vegetable cultivation on soil microbial biomass an ...
