Resident soil microbial diversity and urea amendment legacy interact to shape the composition and expression of a surface film-forming soil inoculant
Soil microbial inoculants have the potential to improve crop yield, enhance agricultural sustainability, and support soil restoration, but they often display unpredictable in-field performance across varied soil conditions. Cyanobacteria-dominated soil surface consortia (SSCs) offer a tractable model for studying inoculant-soil interactions because their visible surface growth enables direct observation and sampling after application. Here, we introduced the SSC "DG1," dominated by the...
Modeling life beneath our feet: A step towards realistic soil ecology at the landscape scale
Modeling life beneath our feet: A step towards realistic soil ecology at the landscape scale Sadie Harley Scientific Editor Andrew Zinin Lead Editor As soil health becomes a defining goal of the EU Soil Strategy for 2030, researchers at Aarhus University are rethinking how we model what lives beneath our feet. Their new spatially explicit population model for the soil invertebrate Folsomia candida (springtails) marks a significant step beyond standard laboratory testing. For more than 60...
Why do rival plants coexist? The secret is in the soil beneath the oaks
Why do rival plants coexist? The secret is in the soil beneath the oaks Lisa Lock Scientific Editor Alexander Pol Deputy Editor How can plants that compete for the same resources grow in the same area without one driving the other to extinction? Ecologists have been trying to answer this question for decades, and a surprising new explanation has now emerged: the soil surrounding oak trees acts as a silent mediator that restrains the dominant species and gives an advantage to weaker ones,...
Integrative genomics reveals shared and stress-specific adaptive pathways underlying acidic soil-associated metal toxicity in rice
Soil acidity-associated toxicities of aluminum (Al), cadmium (Cd), and manganese (Mn) severely constrain rice productivity in upland ecosystems. To investigate the genomic basis of adaptation to acidic soil-related metal stress, we conducted an integrated meta-QTL (M-QTL) and functional genomics analysis in rice. Meta-analysis of 681 QTLs and MTAs from 53 QTL mapping and GWAS studies identified 79 robust M-QTLs, including ten overlapping regions associated with Al-, Cd-, and Mn-responsive...

US face defining World Cup on home soil
US face defining World Cup on home soil LOS ANGELES, June 1 : The United States head into the World Cup facing perhaps higher stakes than any other team, with a deep run likely to accelerate the sport's growth in the country and an early exit from a favourable group threatening to stall years of progress. Put simply, it may be the most important World Cup in U.S. soccer history.

Azerbaijan denies claims of Israel using its soil in operations against Iran
Baku called the reports attributed to anonymous sources and unconfirmed by either Azerbaijan or Israel "completely groundless," telling Euronews it had never provided its territory for any action against a third country, including Iran, with which it shares a 700-kilometre border. Azerbaijan's Foreign Ministry denied claims published by international media on Friday that Israeli military and intelligence personnel allegedly operated from its territory during the ongoing Iran war, calling the...
