“…In July 2019, one sampling point was randomly selected within each plantation habitat (20 × 20 m) and the natural shrub forest (10 × 10 m). The distance between the sampling points was 50 m for the plantation habitat and 30 m for the natural shrubland (Hauchhum & Tripathi, 2019; Hong et al, 2020). The sampled trees in our designated area, included in this study, are approximately 40–50 years old and originated from afforestation activities conducted in the 1980s (Zhang, Yu, et al, 2021).…”

Afforestation has a substantial influence on soil fungal communities by introducing ecological variations within forest ecosystems via the inclusion of distinct tree species (coniferous and broadleaf) and afforestation patterns (pure forests and mixed forests). However, the specific effects of these variations on soil fungal communities require further investigation. Soil samples from birch (B: Betula platyphylla Suk.), larch (L: Larix gmelinii (Rupr.) Kuzen.), and mixed birch and larch (B–L) forests were used in this study, and a shrub–grassland field (S–G) was used as a reference. The abundance, diversity, and community composition of fungi in the soil of the monoculture forest (B and L), mixed forest (B–L), and S–G were studied by high‐throughput sequencing. The results showed that Basidiomycota was the dominant fungus in B and B–L, and the dominant genera were Inocybe and Amanita, respectively. Ascomycota was the dominant fungus in L and S–G, and the dominant genus was Mortierella. Afforestation reduced the richness and diversity of soil fungi. Larch forests were richer in soil fungi than B and B–L forests. Soil organic carbon was the main soil factor affecting the soil fungal community structure. Soil fungal community network changed less after planting L than after planting B and B–L, and the soil fungal community structure was more complex and stable in L than in B and B–L. For soil fungal community composition and function, mixed forests did not show outstanding advantages. Planting monoculture forests may be a more effective afforestation strategy in the rocky mountain areas of North China.

“…Of course tractors no longer fertilised the fields, as animals did and over time the soil became depleted and short of nutrients. This was caused by increased productivity and lack of time for the land to recover as crops were grown every year without the fallow periods of medieval times (Hauchhum and Tripathi, 2019). In addition the increase in extent and intensity of crop growing led to the reduction and almost elimination of wild plants.…”

PurposeThis paper provides an argument to consider in more detail the development and application of technology in the context of sustainability. It argues the need to go beyond economic benefit and that timescale is significant.Design/methodology/approachThis argument is based upon Socratic argument and focuses upon the historiography of technology with particular references to agricultural developments. It then proceeds to apply the same arguments to artificial intelligence (AI) and to climate change.FindingsThe findings are encompassed in the argument and show the need to be more open and careful when considering the development, and especially, the implementation of technology to address problems.Practical implicationsThis argument has significant implications for the adoption of technological developments.Social implicationsThe social implications are equally profound and will impact upon the application of technological solutions to current problems.Originality/valueSuch a historiographical approach to this problem has not previously been applied to this.
