Dynamics of soil health and microbial interactivity during 11 seasons of watermelon cropping: identifying the critical threshold for dysbiosis

Jul 2026 · Biology and Fertility of Soils · Vol 62, pp. 1265 - 1279 · 0 citations · 55 references

TL;DR

The results identify the fifth season as a critical threshold for Fusarium enrichment and network simplification, highlighting an actionable time window for early interventions to restore microbial functions before dysbiosis becomes entrenched.

Continuous Cropping Chinese Chive Alters Rhizosphere Metabolites and Microbial Communities

Continuous cropping obstacles severely constrain Chinese chive (Allium tuberosum) production, yet the integrated mechanisms involving soil properties, microbial communities, and rhizosphere metabolites remain unclear. We hypothesized that long-term monoculture induces soil degradation and shifts rhizosphere microbiomes...

Changes in Soil Microbial Community Structure and Function Across Cultivation Durations Under Cucumber–Bitter Melon Rotation for Sustainable Greenhouse Production

Greenhouse vegetable production is important for food security, but intensive long-term cultivation can threaten soil sustainability. Although previous studies have reported that cultivation duration alters microbial community structure, research on greenhouse soils with crop rotation involving cucumbers and bitter mel...

Vegetation-Driven Differentiation of Soil Bacterial and Fungal Diversity: Distinct Edaphic Determinants in Atractylodes japonica Cultivation Systems

As key drivers of soil biogeochemical cycles, soil microbial communities play essential roles in maintaining soil fertility, nutrient cycling, and plant growth. In this study, high-throughput sequencing of 16S rRNA and ITS genes was used to investigate the diversity, the composition, and the driving factors of bacteria...

Seasonal Patterns of Soil Bacterial and Fungal Communities Under Practical Organic Fertilizer Regimes in a Tea Plantation

Organic fertilizer and season are established sources of variation in tea plantation soil microbiomes. A repeated-measure field experiment was conducted in Yunnan, China, comprising an unfertilized control (CK), sheep manure (SM), pig manure (PM), rapeseed cake manure (RM), and commercial organic fertilizer (OF). The s...
