Soil microorganisms play vital roles in regulating biogeochemical processes. The composition and function of soil microbial community have been well studied, but little is known about the responses of bacterial and fungal communities to different habitats of the same plant, especially the inter-kingdom co-occurrence pattern including bacteria and f...

Bacteriophages participate in soil life by influencing bacterial community structure and function, biogeochemical cycling and horizontal gene transfer. Despite their great abundance, diversity, and importance in microbial processes, they remain little explored in environmental studies. The influence of abiotic factors on the persistence of bacterio...

Cyclospora cayetanensis is a protozoan parasite that causes foodborne outbreaks of diarrheal illness (cyclosporiasis) worldwide. Contact with soil may be an important mode of transmission for C. cayetanensis and could play a role in the contamination of foods. However, there is a scarcity of detection methods and studies for C. cayetanensis in soil...

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a serious threat to public health globally; it is estimated that AMR bacteria caused 1.27 million deaths in 2019, and this is set to rise to 10 million deaths annually. Agricultural and soil environments act as antimicrobial resistance gene (ARG) reservoirs, operating as a link between different ecosystems and enab...

Plastic shed film used in ginseng cultivation could increase phthalate acid esters (PAEs) residues in ginseng and its planting soil. This study recorded the situation of 19 PAEs in ginseng, soil, and plastic shed film samples from eight ginseng cultivation bases in Jilin Province, China. The results showed that 6 PAEs are omnipresent contaminants i...

Soil salinity is an important environmental problem affecting arid and semi-arid regions. There are direct measures for measuring soil salinity but the conventional methods of assessing soil salinity through chemical analysis is time consuming. With the development of GIS, remote sensing and its popularization in soil science research, the evaluati...

Melioidosis is a seasonal infectious disease in tropical and subtropical areas caused by the soil bacterium Burkholderia pseudomallei. In many parts of the world, including South West India, most cases of human infections are reported during times of heavy rainfall, but the underlying causes of this phenomenon are not fully understood. India is amo...

In Malaysia, peat soils have been successfully planted with various crops such as pineapple, oil palm, and sago. However, the development of peat soils to plantations may raise problems to the environment and alter their physical and morphological characteristics. Hence, this study was conducted to differentiate peat soils microstructure between na...

The distribution of legacy heavy metals in industrial city soils is not well documented. Therefore, fundamental details such as the ‘background’ (i.e., non-road/non-dripline) concentration of trace metals in urban soils are uncertain. While there has been a strong focus on mapping lead contamination near roads and residences, these studies are gene...

The application of biochar in conjunction with fertilizer in agricultural production is one of the most promising types of management to improve soil quality. However, the effects on the soil microbial community and methane (CH4) emissions from the interactive mechanisms of biochar combined with fertilizer are unclear. In this study, soil column tr...
