The 18S-based metabarcoding is known to have low species-level resolution and introduce bias in PCR. The mito-metagenomics (MMG) approach involves directly sequencing pooled samples, yields numerous mitochondrial reads that can be assembled into full or partial mitogenomes. This method circumvents the challenges associated with PCR-based metabarcoding and hold significant promise in biodiversity and phylogeny study. However, a reference database is typically required to extract mito-reads/contigs and provide taxonomic or phylogenetic context, thereby limiting its applicability. In this study, we introduced a novel reference-free pipeline for MMG assembly and diversity estimation. This pipeline has been integrated into a snakemake workflow, enabling the generation of output that is readily useable for phylogeny reconstruction in a single run. The performance tests have indicated that this new approach surpasses reference-based methods in soil nematode community profiling. We demonstrated that assembly quality improves with increasing sequencing depth, recommending an average of 1–2 Gb per species to achieve acceptable MMG assembly.

Multiple field studies have demonstrated that monoculture switchgrass cultivation leads to slow to negligible soil carbon (C) gains, an outcome unexpected for such a deep-rooted perennial. We hypothesize that different switchgrass cultivars have disparate impacts on soil C gains, and one of the reasons is variations in physical characteristics of their roots, where roots directly and indirectly influence formation of soil pores. We tested this hypothesis at Great Lakes Bioenergy Research Center's research site in Michigan using two lowland cultivars (Alamo and Kanlow) and four upland cultivars (Southlow, Cave-in-Rock, Blackwell, and Trailblazer). Three types of soil samples were collected: 20 cm diameter (Ø) intact cores used for root analyses; 5 cm Ø intact cores subjected to X-ray computed tomography scanning used for pore characterization; and disturbed soil samples used for microbial biomass C (MBC) and soil C measurements. Path analysis was used to explore interactive relationships among roots, soil pores, and their impact on MBC, and ultimately, on soil C contents across six cultivars. The abundance of very fine roots (&lt;200 μm Ø) was positively associated with fractions of pores in the same size range, but negatively with distances to pores and particulate organic matter. Higher abundance of such roots also led to greater MBC, while greater volumes of medium pores (50–200 μm Ø) and shorter distances to pores increased MBC. Results suggest that the greater proportion of very fine roots is a trait that can potentially stimulate soil C gains, with pore characteristics serving as links for the relationship between such roots and C gains.

Wheat was successfully colonised by AMF, achieving an average root length colonisation of 35.9%. We uncover an indirect fungal-mediated pathway to soil carbon sequestration, with mycorrhizal plants generating more biomass across all soil treatments without yield penalties, suggesting colonised plants deliver more plant derived carbon to the soil, potentially leading to long-term soil carbon gains. Conversely, fungal-driven carbon loss occurred, significantly reducing soil carbon accumulation in unamended soil, but not in biochar-amended soil, suggesting that biochar moderates fungal activity and positively impacts the soil carbon balance. While both biochar and AMF enhance plant growth, their direct effects on soil carbon are complex.

Wastewater biosolids can be transformed into soil amendments that return carbon and nutrients to agricultural systems in stoichiometric ratios that support carbon stabilisation. However, practicable delivery that enhances stable soil carbon and plant yield remains challenging. Soil carbon stability and nutrient availability are mediated partly by microbial community composition and function, which are poorly understood in soils amended with transformed biosolids. We conducted a 56-day study in a temperature-controlled glasshouse, growing perennial ryegrass (<em>Lolium perenne</em>) in pasture soil amended with straw, straw supplemented with nutrients, or transformed biosolids (composted biosolids, dried biosolids or biosolids biochar), all with equal added carbon (3500 kg ha<sup>−1</sup>). Control soils, with and without supplementary nutrients, were also included. Plant dry mass, soil chemical characteristics, and soil carbon fractions were measured at harvest. 16S rRNA sequencing was used to infer the composition and putative function of rhizosphere bacterial communities. Shoot dry mass increased for composted biosolids (236%) and dried biosolids (559%), but total carbon in rhizosphere soil decreased for composted biosolids (16.3%), dried biosolids (13.3%) and biosolids biochar (12.7%) when compared to unamended soils. Fine-fraction carbon in rhizosphere soil decreased for straw with supplementary nutrients (6.8%), dried biosolids (6.3%) and biosolids biochar (4.6%). Rhizosphere bacterial communities clustered by treatment, with populations correlated with fine-fraction carbon distinct from those populations correlated with shoot and root dry mass. Path analysis linked fine-fraction carbon loss with increased putative carbon cycling genes, driven by available nutrients and plant growth. Transformed biosolids can trigger a microbial response that reallocates nutrients from organic matter to plants, disrupting soil carbon-nutrient stoichiometry and facilitating carbon loss. Understanding the carbon cost of this ecosystem service is fundamental when translating benefits of transformed biosolids to end users.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":21888,"journal":{"name":"Soil Biology & Biochemistry","volume":"199 ","pages":"Article 109603"},"PeriodicalIF":9.8,"publicationDate":"2024-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142417622","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our understanding of wood decomposition in drylands, an important component of biogeochemical cycling, is poor compared to that in mesic ecosystems. To uncovering the complex interactive effects of the different key drivers, we studied the effects of precipitation, position (aboveground and belowground), wood size and litter quality of plant species (four to five local species and one widespread woody species) on woody litter decomposition rates along a precipitation gradient from 37 to 369 mm, spanning five dryland sites. Wood dry matter content (DMC) was a critical negative predictor of wood decomposition in water-limited ecosystems. Thicker woody litter had lower decomposition rates (<em>k</em> values) directly because of smaller relative surface exposure, and indirectly through higher wood DMC or lower bark mass ratio (bark mass divided by wood mass for a given branch length). Mean annual precipitation (MAP) increased the <em>k</em> values both directly, and indirectly by decreasing the wood DMC and increasing the bark mass ratio due to species turnover. The <em>k</em> values of buried woody litter were mostly two to three times higher than litter on the soil surface, but not different at the extremely arid site. A steeper slope of the relationship between overall woody litter quality (particularly wood DMC) or annual precipitation and <em>k</em> values was observed belowground than aboveground, as related to the higher moisture belowground than aboveground. These findings highlight the complex interactions among climate (precipitation), litter position, size and quality on wood decomposition in drylands, thereby helping to improve our mechanistic understanding of dryland woody litter decomposition. We conclude that wood decomposition at the regional and local scales will influence biogeochemical cycling in drylands under future climate change through both direct effects of moisture and indirect effects of litter quality characteristics.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":21888,"journal":{"name":"Soil Biology & Biochemistry","volume":"199 ","pages":"Article 109604"},"PeriodicalIF":9.8,"publicationDate":"2024-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142326511","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
