Subsequent attempts to restore those trace element-contaminated soils have involved physical, chemical, or biological methodologies. In this study, the restoration approach included application of different types and doses of organic amendments: biosolid compost (BC) and leonardite (LEO). Twelve years after the last addition, molecular analyses of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungal communities associated with target plants (Lamarckia aurea and Chrysanthemum coronarium) as well as analyses of trace element concentrations both in soil and in plants were performed. The results showed an improved soil quality reflected by an increase in soil pH and a decrease in trace element availability as a result of the amendments and dosages. Additionally, the phylogenetic diversity of the AM fungal community increased, reaching the maximum diversity at the highest dose of BC. Trace element concentration was considered the predominant soil factor determining the AM fungal community composition. Thereby, the studied AM fungal community reflects a community adapted to different levels of contamination as a result of the amendments. The study highlights the long-term effect of the amendments in stabilizing the soil system.", "keywords": ["2.

However, the related plant-microbe interactions are still poorly understood. We aimed to link the recovery of the organisms responsible for CH4 turnover, the methanogens and the methanotrophs, to the re-vegetation related compositional changes of three functional plant types (Sphagna, sedges and shrubs). In peat layers, the Sphagnum coverage was the most influential factor for the activity, abundance and community structures of both these microbial groups, demonstrating a succession pattern towards a pristine stage. Analysis of mcrA and pmoA genes revealed Methanoregulaceae and Methylocystis as the most dominant methanogens and methanotrophs, respectively. The relatively fast recovery of both CH4 production and oxidation in the peat layers supports earlier flux based results from these same fen-type peatland sites. In contrast to peat, CH4 oxidation in living Sphagnum mosses appeared to be independent of vegetation succession as CH4 oxidation potential was similar throughout the succession stages. This indicated that Sphagnum may be a valuable CH4 biofilter especially in the early re-vegetation stages when the oxidation in the peat has not yet recovered. Therefore, we recommend Sphagnum transplantation as a tool for climate friendly peatland restoration with faster recovery of the carbon sink function and altered CH4 emissions.", "keywords": ["0301 basic medicine", "570", "0303 health sciences", "Aitoneva", "peat extraction", "ta1172", "ta1183", "Methanogenic archaea", "plant functional types", "15.

The restoration of these areas depends on the  re-establishment of soil processes. We assessed how restoration of  abandoned pastures through direct seeding of native species and  land-management practices (burning and ploughing) affect soil nutrient  cycling dynamics compared to native savannahs. We compared the activity of  soil enzymes related to carbon (C), nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P)  cycling, as well as soil microbial biomass and soil chemical properties,  such as pH and the concentration of N, P, potassium (K) and soil organic  matter, among abandoned pastures, native savannah and restored areas.  Abandoned pastures had faster nutrient turnover than native savannah,  dominated by slow-growing native species. This pattern was evident from  the overall higher biomass-specific enzyme activity in abandoned pastures  than in native savannah. Compared with native savannah, restored areas had  similar levels of soil enzyme activity, but lower microbial biomass and  soil organic matter. Synthesis and application: The low enzyme activity in  restored areas was likely related to a reduced soil organic carbon  concentration due to practices such as burning and ploughing, rather than  plant-soil feedback. The lower immobilization of nutrients in microbial  biomass and lower retention of nutrients in restored areas, compared with  native savannah, is expected to favour the re-establishment of  fast-growing exotic species. Furthermore, the modifications of soil  chemical and microbial properties related to abandonment of pastures did  not influence restoration outcomes, because land-management practices  applied prior to direct seedling had a major impact on the soil microbial  community and soil fertility. Therefore, restoration of abandoned pastures  should consider a greater focus on restoring soil carbon and nutrient  cycling.", "keywords": ["2. Zero hunger", "soil enzyme activity", "13.
