Further, theoretical plant ecology provides support for this finding because there is evidence that dominant plant species may suppress the diversity by preventing the establishment of other species [8,9,10, 69]. Microbial alpha diversity. Rhizosphere engineering through the manipulation of effective microorganisms and agricultural management practices, such as cropping pattern adaptation, intercultural applications, irrigation scheduling, crop geometry, etc., may be other potential alternatives for bringing sustainability in agriculture [234,235]. S10), indicating that both fungi and bacteria share similar optimal conditions for biomass and diversity. Microbial diversity declines in warmed tropical soil and respiration rise exceed predictions as communities adapt, Climate warming threatens soil microbial diversity. CAS Our study further advances that the reductions in soil C content associated with land use intensification and climate change could cause dramatic shifts in the microbial diversity-biomass ratio, with potential consequences for broad soil processes.

Moreover, long-term application of NT resulted in significant increase in unique OTUs, species richness, and evenness and higher Shannon index, while lower Simpson index was observed as compared to CT. The lack of local soil testing facilities led to blanket recommendations for crop nutrition in a blind race to increase yields. Inhibits nodulation in legumes and thus N-fixation process.

Many studies have identified climate, the stage of an ecosystem's development, and soil characteristics as the main drivers of plant and animal diversity. Looking into the present context, exploiting the agroecosystem services of soil microbial communities appears to be a promisingly effective approach to agriculture in the days to come.

Kaisermann A., Maron P.A., Beaumelle L., Lata J.C. Fungal communities are more sensitive indicators to non-extreme soil moisture variations than bacterial communities. In the long-term climate change experiment, warming (+3C), half precipitation (50% precipitation), and double precipitation (+100% precipitation) are primary factors, which are nested with clipping as the secondary factor (all the 24 southern subplots are under clipping treatment).
