Soil amelioration impacts viral ecology in saline-alkali lands

Abstract The continuous expansion of saline-alkali lands under climate change threatens food security and reduces soil carbon stocks. A common mitigation strategy is soil amelioration, which converts degraded soils back into a fertile and arable state. Microbes play critical roles in soil health and recovery. However,...

Co-Inoculation of Rhizobia and a Multifunctional Microbial Consortium Is Associated with Improved Soybean Performance and Bacterial Community Reassembly in Soybean Fields

Rhizobial inoculation is an important strategy for improving nitrogen supply in soybean systems, but its field performance is often limited by soil constraints and interactions with indigenous microbiomes. Multifunctional microbial consortia may complement rhizobia by modifying rhizosphere soil conditions and nutrient...
