Balancing Maize Yield, Greenhouse Gas Emissions, and Soil Functions Through Nitrogen Fertilizer Reduction and Microbial Network Regulation
Excessive nitrogen (N) fertilization accelerates agricultural greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and leads to soil degradation, yet the potential of reduced N inputs to balance crop yield, GHG emissions, and soil multifunctionality—and the underlying mechanisms—remains unclear. Through a 2‐year field experiment, we found that a 25% reduction in N fertilizer (R25) reshaped the soil microbial co‐occurrence network, resulting in a topology with higher c…
Nitrogen Reduction Combined With Organic Fertilizer: Key Practices to Enhance Soil Quality and Crop Productivity While Mitigating N 2 O Emissions
Partial substitution of chemical fertilizers with organic alternatives can reduce reliance on synthetic nitrogen (N) fertilizers, yet its comprehensive effects on soil quality, productivity, and environmental sustainability remain unclear. A winter wheat–summer maize rotation experiment was conducted to investigate variations in soil properties, crop productivity, N uptake, N 2 O emission, and N cycle functional genes under sufficient N (NF), N r…
Development and external validation of an interpretable machine learning-based model for obesity risk prediction in 2–18-year-old children and adolescents in Beijing and Tangshan
Background: The multifactorial mechanisms driving childhood obesity, a global public health challenge, are yet to be fully elucidated. We aimed to develop and externally validate three widely applied machine learning models alongside logistic regression in 2-18-year-old children and adolescents in Beijing and Tangshan to predict obesity risk. As a further step, we wanted to interpret the optimised model and translate it into a web-based tool to i…

Nitrogen Application Under Aerated Irrigation Mitigated Drought Stress by Improving Leaf Carbon and Nitrogen Reserves in Tomato
Nitrogen (N) application can improve drought tolerance and water use efficiency (WUE) in crops. Previous studies have shown that aerated irrigation improves crop nitrogen absorption and utilization. However, the mechanisms behind the interaction of water and nitrogen under aerated drip irrigation and its impact on crop WUE remain unclear. This study conducted a 2‐years greenhouse experiment with spring‐summer and autumn‐winter tomato to investiga…

Bacterial biomarkers are linked more closely to wheat yield formation than overall bacteria in fertilized soil
Soil bacteria play pivotal roles in agroecosystem functioning. However, the immense diversity of soil bacterial communities masks the effects of some species, such as bacterial biomarkers, on soil nutrient cycling and crop growth. We analyzed biological and chemical soil parameters of five fertilization treatments (CK, LN, CN, HN, LNM: 0, 150, 200, 250 kg N hm −2 , 150 kg N hm −2 + 15,000 kg hm −2 sheep manure). The random forest models were used…
Linking microbial carbon‐degrading potential to organic carbon sequestration in fertilized soils: Insights from metagenomics
The capacity of soils to store organic carbon (SOC) is vital for agricultural productivity. Soil microorganisms exert a critical role in carbon (C) flow and potentially influence C balance through the decomposition of plant and microbial dead biomass. However, the connection between the microbial degradation potential of plant‐derived and microbial‐derived C and soil organic carbon sequestration (SOCSR) under organic and inorganic nitrogen (N) fe…
Response of the tomato rhizosphere bacterial community to water–oxygen coupling under micronanobubble oxygenated drip irrigation in mildly saline soil
The deterioration of the soil water–air environment due to salinization can reduce soil bacterial activity and cause crop yield reduction. Micronanobubble oxygenated drip irrigation can significantly improve the nonsaline soil water–air environment and enhance bacterial activity, but its effect on salinized soil bacteria is unknown. In this study, we used a tomato cultivation experiment in mildly saline soil to evaluate the responses of the rhizo…
Alternate drip irrigation regulates the soil fungal community structure and metabolic function based on root–fungus interactions
Fungal communities play an essential role in soil nutrient cycling, but the mechanism of their response to soil dry–wet cycles under alternate drip irrigation (ADI) is uncertain, which limits the improvements in crop yield that can be achieved through fungal community management in controlled environmental agriculture. In this study, surface drip irrigation was used as the control (CK) to study the effects of ADI with different thresholds of irri…
Soil moisture and nitrogen content influence wheat yield through their effects on the root system and soil bacterial diversity under drip irrigation
