While the significance of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi in influencing soil structure has long been acknowledged, the precise mechanism by which these fungi affect the infiltration performance of compacted soil in waste dumps remains elusive. This study, conducted over 4 years in an open-pit dump, examined the impact of artificially inoculated AM fungi on <em>Amorpha fruticosa</em> roots, soil porosity, and soil infiltration performance. We aimed to elucidate this intricate relationship through field infiltration tests and quantitative imaging technology. Our findings revealed that the development of <em>A. fruticosa</em> root significantly enhanced the soil infiltration performance and soil pore structure in the vicinity of the roots. Moreover, inoculation with AM fungi significantly improved root density characteristics, altered root morphology, and increased the average root diameter. The synergistic effect of mycorrhiza and fungi reduced the number of soil pores while increasing their mean volume and altering their geometry. Roots played a pivotal role in soil pore connectivity, with mycorrhiza and fungi significantly increasing the equivalent diameter of connected pores and the complexity of the pore network. Furthermore, inoculation with AM fungi indirectly influenced soil macroscopic pore parameters by altering root morphology. These changes in root morphology, along with alterations in soil macroscopic pore parameters, directly enhanced soil infiltration capacity. In summary, our study demonstrated that the artificial inoculation of AM fungi in open-pit dumps within arid and semi-arid areas promoted plant root growth, enhanced soil pore development, and improved soil infiltration. These findings underscored the significance of AM fungi in ecological restoration efforts.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":9801,"journal":{"name":"Catena","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.4,"publicationDate":"2024-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142573173","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, five sites along elevation gradient (3500–4300 m) were set according to the distribution range of <em>Rhododendron simsii Planch</em> to investigate the changes in soil microbial community structure during litter decomposition process. Based on the two-year field litter burial experiment and soil microbial sequencing, our results revealed that the litter mass loss for two years at different elevations ranged from 37 % to 61 %, and lignin contributed the most to litter decomposition. Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria and Acidobacteria were the dominant bacteria, and the dominant fungal communities were Basidiomycota and Ascomycota, which played a major role in promoting lignocellulose decomposition. The similarity in soil microbial community structure and alpha diversity between elevations increased with the decomposition of litter. Correlation analysis showed that microbial Chao1 index, available potassium and pH significantly influenced the decomposition of litter. Soil microbial communities were mainly influenced by soil moisture, soil texture (clay + silt) and the content of carbon and nitrogen. Overall, the changes in the soil microbial community especially in alpine forests can be strongly affected by litter decomposition in turn, further regulating ecosystem functions and processes.

Climate- and/or tectonic-induced changes in sea-level and shifts in the base level and/or flow rate of rivers connected to inlets heavily affect the balance of lagoon ecosystems, triggering ecological changes and/or alterations in landforms. For instance, the shorelines of the Arabian Peninsula, stretching from the Red Sea to the Persian/Arabian Gulf, are dotted by coastal lagoons that are undergoing deep transformations. Across the Holocene, Arabian lagoons underwent subsequent phases of modification triggered by sea-level changes, modifications of ocean circulation, and post-Last Glacial Maximum shifts in the discharge of main rivers (e.g., Tigris and Euphrates rivers). These factors reshaped the geomorphology of such contexts, promoting the evolution of freshwater ecosystems along the shorelines of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and influencing the growth of extensive mangrove forests. In recent years, human agency has disrupted the pristine dynamics and ecosystems of coastal-lagoon systems between Abu Dhabi and Ras al-Khaimah. Local lagoons have undergone significant changes due to urban expansion involving land reclamation initiatives along the coast to expand coastal areas, including the construction of artificial islands and the consequent changes in circulation and reduction of mangrove forests. The lagoon of the Emirate of Umm al-Quwain (UAQ), thanks to the slower rate of urban sprawl and limited land reclamation operations, still preserves an extensive mangrove ecosystem, pristine landforms, and almost unspoilt tidal dynamics. For that reason, it constitutes the ideal context for a geomorphological assessment based on a combined multi-temporal remote sensing (from 1968 to 2022) and field validation approach, aimed at achieving a deep understanding of the formation and dynamics of tidal-lagoon and coastal systems and landforms.

The ratio of hexose to pentose, calculated to be 2.41 in biocrust-covered soils, suggested the role of biocrusts in secreting EPSs into the soil. The results showed that the removal of CC and OM led to an increase in particle size in very fine sands, fine silts, and very fine silts, while aggregate size decreased in coarse sands in biocrust-covered soils.

We developed and evaluated soil quality indices (SQI) for land use systems in the Brazilian Amazon and identified the critical limits of soil quality as a first approximation.

We performed 21 physical, chemical, and biological analyses of 225 soil samples (0–20 cm depth) from five land use systems (LUS). We integrated and compared 12 SQIs using two data sets (total and minimum), two scoring methods (linear and non-linear), and three SQI integration approaches (Additive, Weighted additive, and Nemoro). The results indicate that in all LUSs, the most significant and best-estimated integration of soil indicators was the Additive SQI using the minimum data set and linear scoring method.

As a major agricultural country, low-carbon and sustainable utilization of cultivated land in China is crucial to achieving its carbon neutrality goals. Using data from 31 provinces in China, the carbon emissions and intensity of cultivated land use between 2000 and 2020 were calculated. The driving factors and impact mechanisms of carbon intensity were analyzed. Finally, a carbon emission reduction potential index was constructed to explore the carbon emission reduction potential of cultivated land use under different preference scenarios. Total carbon emissions from cultivated land use in China increased from 201.848 million tons in 2000 to 227.4715 million tons in 2020 (an increase of 12.7%). The carbon emission intensity reached a minimum in 2003 (0.79 tons/ha) and a maximum in 2017 (1.01 tons/ha). The proportion of paddy fields, multiple cropping indices, proportion of effective irrigated areas, degree of agricultural chemicalization, and total power of agricultural machinery were the main drivers of carbon emission intensity of cultivated land use. The shadow prices of carbon emissions from cultivated land use were relatively high in Guizhou, Qinghai, and Beijing, amounting to 35.13, 33.54, and 23.97 million yuan per ton, respectively, whereas those in southeastern regions, such as Jiangsu and Shanghai, were low. In addition, under all three preference scenarios (equal equity and efficiency, equity first, and efficiency first), Jiangsu had high emission reduction potentials (up to 0.880, 0.861, and 0.900, respectively), allowing it to share more responsibility for reducing emissions. In contrast, Qinghai had the lowest emission reduction potentials in the study area, reaching 0.064, 0.078, and 0.051 for the equal equity and efficiency, equity first, and efficiency first scenarios, respectively.
