This study is the first attempt to scientifically document and evaluate the system. Six farm parcels at different stages of fallow and cultivation were selected as case studies. Farmers' practices were documented through interviews and record keeping. Soil samples were collected and selected chemical properties and bulk density were analyzed. Carbon (C) storage and sequestration were estimated by converting existing biomass data to C content. Results showed that there are two modifications in the Naalad system compared with common shifting cultivation systems in the Philippines. First, Leucaena leucocephala trees are planted in the fallow fields to shorten the fallow period to 5\u20136 years. The fallow field is also used as a source of fodder for cattle.

It has been suggested that the presence of various physico-chemically heterogeneous microhabitats supports the enormous diversity of microbial communities in soil. However, little is known about the relationship between microbial communities and their immediate environment at the micro- to millimetre scale. In this study, we examined whether bacteria, archaea, and fungi organize into distinct communities in individual 2-mm-sized soil aggregates and compared them to communities of homogenized bulk soil samples. Furthermore, we investigated their relationship to their local environment by concomitantly determining microbial community structure and physico-chemical properties from the same individual aggregates. Aggregate communities displayed exceptionally high beta-diversity, with 3\uffe2\uff80\uff934 aggregates collectively capturing more diversity than their homogenized parent soil core. Up to 20%\uffe2\uff80\uff9330% of ASVs (particularly rare ones) were unique to individual aggregates selected within a few centimetres. Aggregates and bulk soil samples showed partly different dominant phyla, indicating that taxa that are potentially driving biogeochemical processes at the small scale may not be recognized when analysing larger soil volumes. Microbial community composition and richness of individual aggregates were closely related to aggregate-specific carbon and nitrogen content, carbon stable-isotope composition, and soil moisture, indicating that aggregates provide a stable environment for sufficient time to allow co-development of communities and their environment. We conclude that the soil microbiome is a metacommunity of variable subcommunities. Our study highlights the necessity to study small, spatially coherent soil samples to better understand controls of community structure and community-mediated processes in soils.</p", "keywords": ["0301 basic medicine", "millimetre-scale", "archaea", "Nitrogen", "bulk soil samples", "individual aggregates", "diversity", "soil", "Soil", "03 medical and health sciences", "106026 Ecosystem research", "bacteria", "Soil Microbiology", "106022 Mikrobiologie", "0303 health sciences", "Bacteria", "Microbiota", "Fungi", "Biodiversity", "15.
