Abstract:
... Standard laboratory tests to describe the impact of stressors (most notably: chemicals) on organisms offer a good compromise between feasibility and outcome, i.e., they should be reproducible and provide robust results. However, these tests may underestimate the potential effects of prolonged exposures, particularly for persistent contaminants. Within the last years, we have observed an increase i ...

Abstract:
... Excessive N fertilization causes the deterioration of soil microbiome. It is therefore imperative to explore the response of the microbial community in excessively N-fertilized soil to reduce subsequent N supply (RCN) and organic fertilization (OF). Hence, this study used an excessively N-fertilized plot to conduct field experiment of wheat and maize rotation over four years to assess the effects ...

To investigate the effects of stepwise wetting and constant SM on the soil microbial community and respiration rates, eroded soil under afforestation on the Loess Plateau was examined. The soils were sampled and incubated with constant gravimetri ...
