We hypothesized the following. (1) Changing agricultural management practices will alter soil microbial community structure driven by increasing microbial diversity in organic management. (2) Organically managed soil microbial communities will mineralize more N and will also mineralize more N in response to substrate addition than conventionally managed soil communities. (3) Microbial communities under organic management will be more efficient and respire less added C. Soils from organically and conventionally managed agroecosystems were incubated with and without glucose ((13)C) additions at constant soil moisture. We extracted soil genomic DNA before and after incubation for TRFLP community fingerprinting of soil bacteria and fungi. We measured soil C and N pools before and after incubation, and we tracked total C respired and N mineralized at several points during the incubation. Twenty years of organic management altered soil bacterial and fungal community structure compared to continuous conventional management with the bacterial differences caused primarily by a large increase in diversity. Organically managed soils mineralized twice as much NO3 (-) as conventionally managed ones (44 vs. 23 \u03bcg N/g soil, respectively) and increased mineralization when labile C was added. There was no difference in respiration, but organically managed soils had larger pools of C suggesting greater efficiency in terms of respiration per unit soil C. These results indicate that the organic management induced a change in community composition resulting in a more diverse community with enhanced activity towards labile substrates and greater capacity to mineralize N.", "keywords": ["0301 basic medicine", "2.

Because soil microorganisms depend on plant litter as a source of energy for metabolism, changes in the amount or the biochemistry of plant litter produced under elevated CO(2) and O(3) could alter microbial community function and composition. Previously, we have observed that elevated CO(2) increased the microbial metabolism of cellulose and chitin, whereas elevated O(3) dampened this response. We hypothesized that this change in metabolism under CO(2) and O(3) enrichment would be accompanied by a concomitant change in fungal community composition. We tested our hypothesis at the free-air CO(2) and O(3) enrichment (FACE) experiment at Rhinelander, Wisconsin, in which Populus tremuloides, Betula papyrifera, and Acer saccharum were grown under factorial CO(2) and O(3) treatments. We employed extracellular enzyme analysis to assay microbial metabolism, phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) analysis to determine changes in microbial community composition, and polymerase chain reaction-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (PCR-DGGE) to analyze the fungal community composition. The activities of 1,4-beta-glucosidase (+37%) and 1,4,-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase (+84%) were significantly increased under elevated CO(2), whereas 1,4-beta-glucosidase activity (-25%) was significantly suppressed by elevated O(3). There was no significant main effect of elevated CO(2) or O(3) on fungal relative abundance, as measured by PLFA. We identified 39 fungal taxonomic units from soil using DGGE, and found that O(3) enrichment significantly altered fungal community composition. We conclude that fungal metabolism is altered under elevated CO(2) and O(3), and that there was a concomitant change in fungal community composition under elevated O(3).

We studied the effects of agroforestry management systems and cover cropping on soil microbial communities under cacao in two different replicated field experiments in Peru. In the first experiment, two agroforestry systems, Improved Traditional Agroforestry System (ITAS) and Improved Natural Agroforestry System (INAS), were compared. ITAS was a \u2018slash and burn\u2019 system in which all native vegetation was removed prior to replanting with cacao and other trees while INAS used selective removal of uneconomical trees followed by cacao planting. Soil microbial communities were analyzed by phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) analysis and terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (TRFLP) analysis. Soils in the ITAS system had altered microbial community structure and a lower Gram-negative to Gram-positive ratio when compared to soils in the INAS system. However, soil microbial community structure was also affected by a large soil pH gradient (three pH units) across this experiment. In the cover crop experiment, five cover crops, Arachis pintoi (perennial peanut), Calopogonium mucunoides (calopo), Canavalia ensiformis (jackbean), Centrosema macrocarpum (centro), and Callisia repens (callisia), and two controls (one with and one without nitrogen fertilization), were compared. Cover cropping with centro or perennial peanut increased the Gram-negative to Gram-positive ratio, while centro reduced the fungal biomass. Microbial community structure was significantly affected by cover cropping.

As microbial communities have a high potential to adapt to changing conditions, they are expected to be resilient towards this kind of short-term perturbations and return to their pre-perturbed state quickly. Here, we conducted a lab incubation experiment to evaluate the resilience of soil microbial communities to single-pulse perturbations.<br/><br/>We incubated temperate forest soil at constant temperature (20 \u00b0C) and water content, and exposed it to strong single-pulse perturbations, which nonetheless mimic common pulse-events in temperate soils (glucose addition at 4 mg g\u22121 soil, or freeze-thawing overnight at \u221220 \u00b0C). We subsequently measured microbial community composition and microbial storage compounds via phospho- and neutral lipid fatty acid (PLFA and NLFA) profiling, as well as C/N stoichiometry of microbial biomass and dissolved organic carbon and nitrogen in the soil solution shortly after (0.4, 1, 4, and 6 days) and after longer time periods (84 and 160 days) following the perturbations.<br/><br/>Transferring the soils from their natural environment to the laboratory and incubating them under controlled conditions led to a continuous change of microbial community structure over time, along with an increase in microbial biomass and dissolved N in both perturbed and control soils over the time of the experiment. Against the background of this \u2018press-disturbance\u2019, caused by the permanently changed conditions, we see immediate and long-lasting effects of the single pulse events on microbial community composition, C storage and C/N stoichiometry. Both perturbations significantly influenced the microbial community structure (based on PLFA profiles), microbial biomass N and dissolved N up to 160 days, as well as fungal and bacterial biomass and storage (based on absolute PLFA and NLFA concentrations) up to 84 days. Both perturbations increased microbial N (+59.6 \u00b5g g\u22121 dw) and decreased dissolved N (\u221240.3 \u00b5g g\u22121 dw) after 160 days, and significantly altered C/N ratios in microbial and dissolved pools (particularly in the first 6 days of the experiment).<br/><br/>Our results demonstrate that single-pulse perturbations can have long-term legacies in soil microbial ecosystems. In our experiment they led to alternative system states which differed from the unperturbed control in multiple parameters even after 160 days. This indicates that soil microbial communities exhibit a low resistance and resilience towards single-pulse perturbations, and may easily be pushed on alternative trajectories by short but strong environmental pulses.", "keywords": ["0301 basic medicine", "2.

Using soils from two typical Hg-impacted regions across China, here, we evaluated the role of Hg pollution in regulating bacterial abundance, diversity, and co-occurrence network. We also investigated the associations between Hg contents and the relative abundance of microbial functional genes by analyzing the soil metagenomes from a subset of those sites.We found that soil Hg largely influenced the taxonomic and functional attributes of microbial communities in the two studied regions. In general, Hg pollution was negatively related to bacterial abundance, but positively related to the diversity of bacteria in two separate regions. We also found some consistent associations between soil Hg contents and the community composition of bacteria. For example, soil total Hg content was positively related to the relative abundance of Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes in both paddy and upland soils. In contrast, the methylmercury (MeHg) concentration was negatively correlated to the relative abundance of Nitrospirae in the two types of soils. Increases in soil Hg pollution correlated with drastic changes in the relative abundance of ecological clusters within the co-occurrence network of bacterial communities for the two regions. Using metagenomic data, we were also able to detect the effect of Hg pollution on multiple functional genes relevant to key soil processes such as element cycles and Hg transformations (e.g., methylation and reduction).Together, our study provides solid evidence that Hg pollution has predictable and significant effects on multiple taxonomic and functional attributes including bacterial abundance, diversity, and the relative abundance of ecological clusters and functional genes.

One part of the fresh soil from the  field was stored at 4\u00b0C for microbial biomass (carbon and nitrogen) for  inorganic N (NH<sub>4</sub><sup>+</sup>\u2212N and  NO<sub>3</sub><sup>\uff0d</sup>\u2212N ) and available phosphorus (AP) analyses, and  the other part was air-dried indoors and used to determine indicators such  as soil physicochemical properties (Zhao et al., 2018).In order to  reveal the effects of rest-grazing and fertilization during the regreen-up  period on the structure of soil microbial community. Soil microbial PLFA  was determined based on the method of Bossio and Scow (1998)  (Bossi et al.,  1998).  The data for each subplot was expressed as the  mean of\u00a0three soil  samples, so data analysis was carried out on the data duplicate value  (n=3),  and the data analysis was  performed according to the following steps. Firstly, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA)  and least significant difference (LSD) tests were used to examine the  differences of soil physicochemical properties and microbial  community structure among the different rest-grazing treatments. Then the  independent sample T-tests were used to examine the response of soil  physicochemical properties and microbial community structure to  fertilization treatment. Secondly, the correlation analysis was used to  test the relationship between soil physicochemical properties and  microbial community structure. Finally, the redundancy analysis method  (RDA) was used to evaluate the associations between soil physicochemical  properties and community microorganisms. The above analysis used Microsoft Excel 2013 to  organize and summarize the original data, and used SPSS25.0 statistical  software to conduct statistical analysis on the data. Histogram of  microbial community compositions and percentage increase of fertilization  to the maximum value of all PLFA groups were drawn with Origin 2021. The  graphs of correlation analysis were performed using the \u201cggplot2\u201d and  \u201cggthemes\u201d packages in R 4.2.2 and RDA employed CANOCO 5 to complete  (Lu et al., 2023). P\uff1c0.05 was considered statistically  significant. Bossio, D. A., &amp; Scow, K. M. (1998).

Using soils from two typical Hg-impacted regions across China, here, we evaluated the role of Hg pollution in regulating bacterial abundance, diversity, and co-occurrence network. We also investigated the associations between Hg contents and the relative abundance of microbial functional genes by analyzing the soil metagenomes from a subset of those sites.We found that soil Hg largely influenced the taxonomic and functional attributes of microbial communities in the two studied regions. In general, Hg pollution was negatively related to bacterial abundance, but positively related to the diversity of bacteria in two separate regions. We also found some consistent associations between soil Hg contents and the community composition of bacteria. For example, soil total Hg content was positively related to the relative abundance of Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes in both paddy and upland soils. In contrast, the methylmercury (MeHg) concentration was negatively correlated to the relative abundance of Nitrospirae in the two types of soils. Increases in soil Hg pollution correlated with drastic changes in the relative abundance of ecological clusters within the co-occurrence network of bacterial communities for the two regions. Using metagenomic data, we were also able to detect the effect of Hg pollution on multiple functional genes relevant to key soil processes such as element cycles and Hg transformations (e.g., methylation and reduction).Together, our study provides solid evidence that Hg pollution has predictable and significant effects on multiple taxonomic and functional attributes including bacterial abundance, diversity, and the relative abundance of ecological clusters and functional genes. Our results suggest an increase in soil Hg pollution linked to human activities will lead to predictable shifts in the taxonomic and functional attributes in the Hg-impacted areas, with potential implications for sustainable management of agricultural ecosystems and elsewhere.", "keywords": ["0301 basic medicine", "570", "China", "550", "Co-occurrence network", "Firmicutes", "333", "12.
