Effects of Drought on Soil Microbial Communities and Processes

Thus, the rains that end a drought not only release soil microbes from stress but also create a resource pulse that fuels soil microbial ...

Soil communities, however, seem more tolerant than plants or animals are to water stress—the main effects, in fact, on soil processes appear to be limited ...

Impact of drought on soil microbial biomass and extracellular ...

A decrease in soil water availability directly leads to the dehydration of some microorganisms, thereby reducing overall microbial activity, and ...

Effects of Drought on Soil Microbial Communities and Processes

It remains unclear whether the effects of drought on soil processes result from drying or rewetting. It is also unclear whether the flush of activity on ...

Ecological memory of recurrent drought modifies soil processes via ...

Recent evidence indicates that drought may produce legacy effects on soil microbial communities. However, it is unclear whether precedent ...

Effects of Drought on Soil Microbial Communities and Processes

... Soil moisture is also known to have a direct impact on the microbial life. Drought conditions drastically reduce water content which leads ...

Microbial growth under drought is confined to distinct taxa and ...

Legacy effects of intensified drought on the soil microbiome in a ...

Overall, few legacies in soil microbial communities persisted after a four-year experimentally induced drought. However, our results show that ...

The Impact of Drought Stress on Soil Microbial Community, Enzyme ...

A negative impact of drought on soil microbes can lead to a decrease in enzymes activity, loss in nutrient cycling (e.g., C, N, P), and soil fertility, thus ...

Drought impacts on microbial trait distribution and feedback to soil ...

Drought can also impart changes in plant and microbial communities that can lead to changes in plant litter chemistry and the chemical ...

Soil microbial composition, diversity, and network stability in ...

Drought decreased the diversity of soil microbial communities. · Drought reduced the complexity of bacterial and fungal networks. · Intercropping ...

Effects of short-term drought, nitrogen application and their ...

These results clearly showed that, short-term drought altered the composition and functional genes of soil microbial communities. Our research ...

Effects of simulated drought on biological soil quality, microbial ...

Drought and agricultural management influence soil microorganisms with unknown consequences for the functioning of agroecosystems. We simulated ...

Impacts of Urbanization and Drought on Soil Microbial Communities

Microbial communities are key regulators of these soil processes and are functionally responsive to shifts in environmental conditions. Global changes ...

Opinion Microbial drought resistance may destabilize soil carbon

If microbes sustain their activity under drought, soils could lose carbon, especially if inputs from plants decline.

How Drought Affects Soil Health - Integrated Crop Management

The increase in soil temperature associated with lack of soil moisture has an impact on microbial activities and nutrient processing, both of ...

The effect of successive summer drought periods on bacterial ... - NCBI

We identified a significant effect of plant species richness on the soil microbial community composition and determined the taxa significantly ...

Effects of past and current drought on the composition and diversity ...

This is because soil microbial communities that have previously been exposed to drought may change less in response to subsequent drought events, due to the ...

Microbial community response to drought depends on crop | Elementa

In our field experiment, the effects of drought on soil bacterial composition depended on crop type, while drought decreased bacterial diversity ...
