Microbiomes and submerged macrophytes (hydrophytes) play essential roles in conversions of organic and inorganic compounds in those ecosystems. The systems were extensively investigated for microbial diversities and compositions. However, little is known about how hydrophytes recruited diverse microbiota and affected functional zonation in aquatic systems. To address this issue, epiphytic leaf and root, sediment, and surrounding water samples were collected from the dragon-shape aquatic system in Beijing Olympic Park. Metagenomic DNAs were extracted and subjected to sequencing. Results showed that epiphytic leaf and root microbiomes and metabolic marker genes were remarkably different from that of surrounding environment. Twenty indicator bacterial genera for epiphytic microbiomes were identified and 50 metabolic marker genes were applied to evaluate the function of epiphytic leaf and root, water, and sediment microbiomes. Co-occurrence analysis revealed highly modularized pattern of metabolic marker genes and indicator bacterial genera related to metabolic functions. These results suggested that hydrophytes shaped microbiomes and drove functional zonation in aquatic systems.

In the present study we aimed to improve wheat growth under drought stress conditions through priming with beneficial bacteria considered as plant-growth promoting bacteria (PGPB). Two bacterial strains, Bacillus amyloliquefaciens 5113 and Azospirillum brasilense NO40, were used to prime the wheat cv. Sids1. To generate drought stress for 12-day-old seedlings, water was withheld for 4, 5, or 7 days while growth and survival were recorded. Furthermore, several stress markers were examined by molecular and biochemical assays to study the role of priming on different stress tolerance mechanisms. Priming significantly alleviated the deleterious effect of drought stress on wheat. Drought resulted in the upregulation of some stress-related genes (APX1, SAMS1, and HSP17.8) in the leaves and increased activity of enzymes involved in the plant ascorbate\u2013glutathione redox cycle. Bacteria-treated plants showed attenuated transcript levels suggesting improved homeostatic mechanisms due to priming. The present study reports on the ability of certain PGPB to attenuate several stress consequences in plants which strongly supports the potential of such an approach to control drought stress in wheat.", "keywords": ["2.

Craib is an endemic and dominant species in typical subalpine dark coniferous forests distributed in the eastern Tibetan Plateau. To assess how A. fabri may respond and adapt to future climate changes, we investigated the effects of drought and warming on the growth, resource allocation in biomass, membrane stability, and oxidative stress of the seedlings over two growing seasons. Drought (11.4\u00a0% average reduction in soil moisture) was created by excluding natural precipitation with a plastic roof and warming was performed by an infrared heater above the plots. Drought increased root length, the root-to-shoot ratio, N concentration, and N/P ratio in all organs, and decreased seedling height and C/N ratio in all organs. Moreover, warming (2\u00a0\u00b0C) decreased seedling height, root length, total biomass, and N concentration in stems but increased the C/N ratio. Furthermore, the combination of drought and warming decreased seedling height and biomass in all organs, which further increased the N concentration and N/P ratio in all organs. A significant decrease in the membrane stability index and an increase in malondialdehyde, superoxide radical (O2 \u2212), and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) were exactly matched with a dramatic decrease of total biomass under the combination of drought and warming treatment. Together these results implied that drought alone and warming alone were unfavorable for the early growth of A. fabri, and drought plus warming will intensify the opposite effect of drought alone or warming alone.

Root exudates were collected by pieces of paper for electrophoresis and subjected to HPLC analysis. Expression of organic anions and Pi transporter genes was analyzed by a real-time quantitative PCR.

The impacts of N or P on ecosystem structure and function depend at least partly on the response of soil fungal communities, although few studies have compared the effects of N and P addition, both separately and together. We examined the responses of composition of the soil fungal community to 3-year experimental nutrient additions (control, N, N plus P, and P) in a typical alpine meadow of the QTP. We found that P addition, regardless of N addition, significantly reduced fungal species richness and changed fungal community composition, while the effect of N was undetectable. Nitrogen plus phosphorus caused a more distinct community than either N or P addition alone. Multivariate regression tree, canonical correspondence analysis, and distance-based multivariate linear model analyses all suggested available P was a key parameter determining the diversity and composition of the fungal community. Other parameters such as dissolved organic N, aboveground net primary productivity of forbs, and dissolved organic C played important but secondary roles.

We conducted a field precipitation manipulation experiment in a subtropical forest to explore the impacts of reducing dry-season rainfall but increasing wet-season rainfall on soil microbial community composition and enzyme activities. A 67% reduction of throughfall during the dry season decreased soil water content (SWC) by 17\u201324% (P\u00a0<\u00a00.05), while the addition of water during the wet season had limited impacts on SWC. The seasonal precipitation redistribution had no significant effect on the microbial biomass and enzyme activities, as well as on the community composition measured with phospholipid fatty acids (PLFAs). However, the amplicon sequencing revealed differentiated impacts on bacterial and fungal communities. The dry-season throughfall reduction increased the relative abundance of rare bacterial phyla (Gemmatimonadetes, Armatimonadetes, and Baoacteriodetes) that together accounted for only 1.5% of the total bacterial abundance by 15.8, 40, and 24% (P\u00a0<\u00a00.05), respectively. This treatment also altered the relative abundance of the two dominant fungal phyla (Basidiomycota and Ascomycota) that together accounted for 72.4% of the total fungal abundance. It increased the relative abundance of Basidiomycota by 27.4% while reduced that of Ascomycota by 32.6% (P\u00a0<\u00a00.05).

In particular, the most relevant changes in protein expression were observed in the fungal partner, with NO 3- mostly affecting the energetic metabolism and NH 4+ affecting transport and regulation of proteins and the energetic metabolism much more than NO 3- did. Excess deposition of reactive nitrogen is a well-known agent of stress for lichens, but which symbiont is most affected and how, remains a mystery. Using proteomics can expand our understanding of stress effects on lichens. We investigated the effects of different doses and forms of reactive nitrogen, with and without supplementary phosphorus and potassium, on the proteome of the lichen Cladonia portentosa growing in a 'real-world' simulation of nitrogen deposition. Protein expression changed with the nitrogen treatments but mostly in the fungal partner, with NO3- mainly affecting the energetic metabolism and NH4+ also affecting the protein synthesis machinery. The photobiont mainly responded overexpressing proteins involved in energy production. This suggests that in response to nitrogen stress, the photobiont mainly supports the defensive mechanisms initiated by the mycobiont with an increased energy production. Such surplus energy is then used by the cell to maintain functionality in the presence of NO3-, while a futile cycle of protein production can be hypothesized to be induced by NH4+ excess.

Areas with initial high cover of well-developed biocrusts showed lower N2O emissions, enhanced CH4 uptake and higher abundances of functional genes linked to N2O and CH4 fluxes compared with areas with poorly developed biocrusts. Moreover, biocrusts modulated the responses of gases emissions and related functional genes to warming and rainfall reductions. Specifically, we found under rainfall exclusion and its combination with warming a sharp reduction in N2O fluxes (~\u200996% and ~\u2009197%, respectively) only under well-developed biocrust cover. Warming and its combination with rainfall exclusion reduced CH4 consumption in areas with initial low cover of well-developed biocrust, whereas rainfall exclusion enhanced CH4 uptake only in areas with high initial cover of well-developed biocrusts. Similarly, the combination of warming and rainfall exclusion increased the abundance of the nosZ gene compared to the rainfall exclusion treatment and increased the abundance of the pmoA gene compared to the control, but only in areas with low biocrust cover. Taken together, our results indicate that well-developed biocrust communities could counteract the impact of warming and altered rainfall patterns on soil N2O and CH4 fluxes, highlighting their importance and the need to preserve them to minimize climate change impacts on drylands.

However, little is known about how modifications of the diversity of soil microbial communities induced by fresh organic matter (FOM) inputs can regulate carbon cycling. Here, we investigated the decomposition of two 13C labeled crop residues (wheat and alfalfa) and the dynamics of the genetic structure and taxonomic composition of the soil bacterial communities decomposing 13C labeled FOM and native unlabeled soil organic matter (SOM), respectively. It was achieved by combining the stable isotope probing method with molecular tools (DNA genotyping and pyrosequencing of 16S rDNA). Although a priming effect (PE) was always induced by residue addition, its intensity increased with the degradability of the plant residue. The input of both wheat and alfalfa residues induced a rapid dynamics of FOM-degrading communities, corresponding to the stimulation of bacterial phyla which have been previously described as copiotrophic organisms. However, the dynamics and the identity of the bacterial groups stimulated depended on the residue added, with Firmicutes dominating in the wheat treatment and Proteobacteria dominating in the alfalfa treatment after 3\u00a0days of incubation. In both treatments, SOM-degrading communities were dominated by Acidobacteria, Verrucomicrobia, and Gemmatimonadetes phyla which have been previously described as oligotrophic organisms. An early stimulation of SOM-degrading populations mainly belonging to Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes groups was observed in the alfalfa treatment whereas no change occurred in the wheat treatment.

Moss-associated nitrogen (N2) fixation is one of the main inputs of new N in pristine ecosystems that receive low amounts of atmospheric N deposition. Previous studies have shown that N2 fixation is inhibited by inorganic N (IN) inputs, but if N2 fixation in mosses is similarly affected by organic N (ON) remains unknown. Here, we assessed N2 fixation in two dominant mosses in boreal forests (
Soil erosion is one of the main threats driving soil degradation across the globe with important impacts on crop yields, soil biota, biogeochemical cycles, and ultimately human nutrition.
ObjectivesHere, using an empirical model, we present a global and temporally explicit assessment of soil erosion risk according to recent (2001\uffe2\uff80\uff932013) dynamics of rainfall and vegetation cover change to identify vulnerable areas for soils and soil biodiversity.
MethodsWe used an adaptation of the Universal Soil Loss Equation together with state of the art remote sensing models to create a spatially and temporally explicit global model of soil erosion and soil protection. Finally, we overlaid global maps of soil biodiversity to assess the potential vulnerability of these soil communities to soil erosion.
ResultsWe show a consistent decline in soil erosion protection over time across terrestrial biomes, which resulted in a global increase of 11.7% in soil erosion rates. Notably, soil erosion risk systematically increased between 2006 and 2013 in relation to the baseline year (2001). Although vegetation cover is central to soil protection, this increase was mostly driven by changes in rainfall erosivity. Globally, soil erosion is expected not only to have an impact on the vulnerability of soil conditions but also on soil biodiversity with 6.4% (for soil macrofauna) and 7.6% (for soil fungi) of these vulnerable areas coinciding with regions with high soil biodiversity.
ConclusionsOur results indicate that an increasing proportion of soils are degraded globally, affecting not only livelihoods but also potentially degrading local and regional landscapes. Similarly, many degraded regions coincide with and may have impacted high levels of soil biodiversity.A positive soil carbon (C)\uffe2\uff80\uff90climate feedback is embedded into the climatic models of the IPCC. However, recent global syntheses indicate that the temperature sensitivity of soil respiration (RS) in drylands, the largest biome on Earth, is actually lower in warmed than in control plots. Consequently, soil C losses with future warming are expected to be low compared with other biomes. Nevertheless, the empirical basis for these global extrapolations is still poor in drylands, due to the low number of field experiments testing the pathways behind the long\uffe2\uff80\uff90term responses of soil respiration (RS) to warming. Importantly, global drylands are covered with biocrusts (communities formed by bryophytes, lichens, cyanobacteria, fungi, and bacteria), and thus,RSresponses to warming may be driven by both autotrophic and heterotrophic pathways. Here, we evaluated the effects of 8\uffe2\uff80\uff90year experimental warming onRS, and the different pathways involved, in a biocrust\uffe2\uff80\uff90dominated dryland in southern Spain. We also assessed the overall impacts on soil organic C (SOC) accumulation over time. Across the years and biocrust cover levels, warming reducedRSby 0.30\uffc2\uffa0\uffce\uffbcmol\uffc2\uffa0CO2\uffc2\uffa0m\uffe2\uff88\uff922\uffc2\uffa0s\uffe2\uff88\uff921(95% CI\uffc2\uffa0=\uffc2\uffa0\uffe2\uff88\uff920.24 to 0.84), although the negative warming effects were only significant after 3\uffc2\uffa0years of elevated temperatures in areas with low initial biocrust cover. We found support for different pathways regulating the warming\uffe2\uff80\uff90induced reduction inRSat areas with low (microbial thermal acclimation via reduced soil mass\uffe2\uff80\uff90specific respiration and \uffce\uffb2\uffe2\uff80\uff90glucosidase enzymatic activity) vs. high (microbial thermal acclimation jointly with a reduction in autotrophic respiration from decreased lichen cover) initial biocrust cover. Our 8\uffe2\uff80\uff90year experimental study shows a reduction in soil respiration with warming and highlights that biocrusts should be explicitly included in modeling efforts aimed to quantify the soil C\uffe2\uff80\uff93climate feedback in drylands.Nitrogen (N) deposition affects myriad aspects of terrestrial ecosystem structure and function, and microbial communities may be particularly sensitive to anthropogenic N inputs. However, our understanding of N deposition effects on microbial communities is far from complete, especially for drylands where data are comparatively rare. To address the need for an improved understanding of dryland biological responses to N deposition, we conducted a two\uffe2\uff80\uff90year fertilization experiment in a semiarid grassland on the Colorado Plateau in the southwestern United States. We evaluated effects of varied levels of N inputs on archaeal, bacterial, fungal and chlorophyte community composition within three microhabitats: biological soil crusts (biocrusts), soil below biocrusts, and the plant rhizosphere. Surprisingly, N addition did not affect the community composition or diversity of any of these microbial groups; however, microbial community composition varied significantly among sampling microhabitats. Further, while plant richness, diversity, and cover showed no response to N addition, there were strong linkages between plant properties and microbial community structure. Overall, these findings highlight the potential for some dryland communities to have limited biotic ability to retain augmented N inputs, possibly leading to large N losses to the atmosphere and to aquatic systems.

With a combination of experimental 2\u00b0C warming and altered summer precipitation frequency applied over 2\u00a0years, we measured soil nutrient cycling and the structure and function of crust communities. We saw no change in crust cover, composition, or other measures of crust function in response to 2\u00b0C warming and no effects on any measure of soil chemistry. In contrast, crust cover and function responded to increased frequency of summer precipitation, shifting from moss to cyanobacteria-dominated crusts; however, in the short timeframe we measured, there was no accompanying change in soil chemistry. Total bacterial and fungal biomass was also reduced in watered plots, while the activity of two enzymes increased, indicating a functional change in the microbial community.

The aim of the present investigation was to study the effects of both salinity (0, 200 and 500\u00a0mM NaCl) and nitrogen form (NO3 \u2212, NH4 + or NH4NO3) on S. alterniflora. Plants were cultivated in sandy soil under greenhouse conditions for 3\u00a0months. At harvest, growth parameters were measured and leaf samples were analysed for oxidative stress parameters (malondialdehyde, MDA; electrolyte leakage, EL; and hydrogen peroxide, H2O2 concentration) and the activity of antioxidant enzymes (glutathione reductase, GR; superoxide dismutase, SOD; catalase, CAT; ascorbate peroxidase, APX and Guaiacol peroxidase, GPX). In the absence of NaCl, plant growth rate was the highest in the medium containing both nitrogen forms, and the lowest in the medium containing only nitrate. Irrespective of the nitrogen form, plant growth was generally higher at 200\u00a0mM NaCl than without salinity. Ammonium-fed plants showed better growth than nitrate-fed plants under high salinity. In the absence of salinity, ammonium-fed plants showed higher SOD, APX, GR, CAT, and GPX activities than nitrate-fed ones. The antioxidant enzymes exhibited higher activity in saline-treated plants. The considerable advantage of NH4 + nutrition to S. alterniflora under saline conditions was associated with high antioxidant enzyme activities, together with low MDA content, EL, and H2O2 concentration. These data clearly demonstrate that NH4 + is more favourable for the growth of S. alterniflora under high salinity than NO3 \u2212.

However, detailed information on the impressionable bacterial groups and the potential mechanisms of these influences are still missing. The present study aims to deepen the current understanding on the soil microbial communities under four typical forest types in Northeast Asia, and to reveal the environmental factors driving the abundance, diversity and composition of soil bacterial communities. Four forest types from Changbai Nature Reserve, representing mixed conifer-broadleaf forest and its natural secondary forest, evergreen coniferous forest, and deciduous coniferous forest were selected for this study. Namely, Broadleaf-Korean pine mixed forest (BLKP), secondary Poplar-Birch forest (PB), Spruce-Fir forest (SF), and Larch forest (LA), respectively. Soil bacterial community was analyzed using bar-coded pyrosequencing. Nonmetric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) was used to illustrate the clustering of different samples based on both Bray-Curtis distances and UniFrac distances. The relationship between environmental variables and the overall community structure was analyzed using the Mantel test. The two mixed conifer-broadleaf forests (BLKP and PB) displayed higher total soil nutrients (organic carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus) and soil pH, but a lower C/N ratio as compared to the two coniferous forests (SF and LA). The mixed conifer-broadleaf forests had higher alpha-diversity and had distinct bacterial communities from the coniferous forests. Soil texture and pH were found as the principle factors for shaping soil bacterial diversity and community composition. The two mixed conifer-broadleaf forests were associated with higher proportion of Acidobacteria, Verrucomicrobia, Bacteroidetes, and Chloroflexi. While the SF and LA forests were dominated by Proteobacteria and Gemmatimonadetes. Different natural forest type each selects for distinct microbial communities beneath them, with mixed conifer-broadleaf forests being associated with the low-activity bacterial groups, and the coniferous forests being dominated by the so-called high-activity members. The differentiation of soil bacterial communities in natural forests are presumably mediated by the differentiation in terms of soil properties, and could be partially explained by the copiotroph/oligotroph ecological classification model and non-random co-occurrence patterns.", "keywords": ["0301 basic medicine", "0303 health sciences", "03 medical and health sciences", "14.

Examining these differential soil C fractions in response to N enrichment is helpful for better understanding soil C changes under the predominantly increasing N deposition. In this study, we used a field N addition experiment in a grassland to explore the effects of various N enrichment levels on soil C fractions. We conducted a field manipulative experiment which used a Latin square design with six N addition levels of 0, 2, 4, 8, 16 and 32\u00a0g\u00a0N\u00a0m\u22122\u00a0year\u22121 since 2003 in a semiarid grassland in northern China. Soil samples were collected in August (when plants have the greatest biomass), 2011. We measured C and N concentrations in soil light fraction, microbial biomass, extractable organic matter, heavy fraction, and total soil C and N. The results showed that total soil C and N, and heavy fraction C and N were not significantly affected by N addition after 9\u00a0years of treatments. In contrast, different N enrichment levels changed soil light fraction C and N, ranging from 4.3 to 27.7\u00a0% and 3.3\u201330.0\u00a0%, respectively. Moreover, both light fraction C and N had a nonlinear relationship with N addition rates, and the threshold for N-induced change in light fraction C and N was near 16\u00a0g\u00a0N\u00a0m\u22122\u00a0year\u22121 in this semiarid grassland. Increases of soil light fraction C and N primarily resulted from changes in biotic (N-stimulated aboveground biomass) and abiotic (soil temperature, moisture and pH) factors under N enrichment. Soil microbial biomass exponentially declined with increasing N, but extractable organic C showed a positive linear response to N enrichment rates. Changes in microbial biomass C and extractable organic C were primarily due to the reduced soil pH under N addition. Our findings suggest that various soil C fractions differentially respond to elevated N, because different sets of biotic and abiotic factors regulate those fractions under N enrichment.", "keywords": ["0301 basic medicine", "2.

To understand whether warming causes substantial C loss in wetland soils, a 6-year microcosm experiment was carried out to examine the impact of rising temperature (3\u20135\u00a0\u00b0C) on SOC and its two fractions (labile versus recalcitrant) in six types of wetland soils with varied nutrient status. Warming decreased SOC contents in nutrient-enriched soils by invoking a large loss in recalcitrant organic C fractions, while in nutrient-poor soils SOC loss was limited by substrate limitation. With low temperature ranges in the winter (1\u201310\u00a0\u00b0C), warming increased the microbial capacity for recalcitrant organic C acquisition greater than that for labile organic C fractions. A relatively higher cross-site contribution of fungi in warmed soils as one strategy of microbial acclimation to rising temperature implies an adjustment of microbial C utilization patterns, leading to substantial C loss in wetland soils. In order to maintain the functional roles of wetlands for C sequestration, our results further suggested that more attention should be paid to nutrient-enriched wetlands in future climate warming scenarios.", "keywords": ["0301 basic medicine", "0303 health sciences", "03 medical and health sciences", "13.

All fertilization regimes increased the soil dehydrogenase activity while the abundances of bacteria and archaea increased in the plots receiving inorganic fertilizers plus compost and not in those receiving inorganic fertilizers only.
