“…Not only bacterial, but also fungal communities are altered by fertilizer use, method of tillage and crop rotations. Inorganic fertilizers are proven to decrease soil fungal diversity [10], while the use of organic fertilizers and crop rotation affect the abundance of different fungal genera [11].…”

Soil microbial communities are involved in the maintenance of productivity and health of agricultural systems; therefore an adequate understanding of soil biodiversity plays a key role in ensuring sustainable use of soil. In the present study, we evaluated the influence of different cropping systems on the biodiversity of the soil bacterial communities, based on a 54-year field experiment established in Martonvásár, Hungary. Terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP) fingerprinting technique was used to assess soil bacterial diversity and community structure in maize monoculture and three different crop rotations (maize-alfalfa, maize-wheat and the maize-barley-peas-wheat Norfolk type). No differences in richness and diversity were detected between maize monoculture and crop rotations except for the most intense rotation system (Norfolk-type). Although the principal component analysis did not reveal a clear separation between maize monoculture and the other rotation systems, the pairwise tests of analysis of similarity (ANOSIM) revealed that there are significant differences in the composition of bacterial communities between the maize monoculture and maize-alfalfa rotation as well as between wheat-maize and Norfolk-type rotation.

“…Besides, plant biomass (one plant property) has been reported to have positive ( Van der Heijden et al, 1998 ), negative ( Klironomos, 2002 ) or no ( van der Heijden et al, 2016 ) effects on soil fungal diversity in different regions. Specifically, there have been strong interactions among soil fungal diversity, plant properties and soil properties in ecosystems, and little attention has been paid to soil fungal ecology in affecting plant and soil properties ( Mueller et al, 2014 ; Urbanová et al, 2015 ; Sun et al, 2016 ; Ding et al, 2017 ). Thus, determining the links between soil fungal diversity and plant and soil properties could explore the microbiological mechanisms that how fungal diversity manipulated by plant and soil properties ( Kivlin et al, 2014 ; García-Palacios et al, 2016 ; Schappe et al, 2017 ).…”

Links between Soil Fungal Diversity and Plant and Soil Properties on the Loess Plateau

et al. 2017

Previous studies have revealed inconsistent correlations between fungal diversity and plant/soil properties from local to global scales. Here, we investigated the internal relationships between soil fungal diversity and plant/soil properties on the Loess Plateau following vegetation restoration, using Illumina sequencing of the internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2) region for fungal identification. We found significant effects of land use types (Af, Artificial forest; Ns, Natural shrub; Ag, Artificial grassland; Ng, Natural grassland; Sc, slope cropland) on soil fungal communities composition, and the dominant phyla were Ascomycota, Basidiomycota, and Zygomycota, which transitioned from Basidiomycota-dominant to Ascomycota-dominant community due to vegetation restoration. The Chao1 richness, Shannon’s diversity and ACE indices were significantly influenced by land use types with the order of Ns > Af > Ng > Ag > Sc, and the total number of OTUs varied widely. In contrast, Good’s coverage and Simpson’s diversity indicated no significant difference among land use types (p > 0.05). Correlation analysis showed that plant and soil properties were closely related to fungal diversity regardless of land use types. In addition, soil organic carbon (SOC) and Hplant (plant richness, Shannon-Wiener index) were strong driving factors that explained fungal diversity. As revealed by the structural equation model (SEM) and generalized additive models (GAMs), fungal diversity was directly and indirectly affected by soil and plant properties, respectively, providing evidence for strong links between soil fungal diversity and plant and soil properties on the Loess Plateau.

“…Inorganic nitrogen (N) fertilisers contribute to approximately 75% of direct emission from agricultural soil (Zheng et al 2004;Mohanty et al 2017). Besides contributing to GHG emission, nitrogenous fertilisers decrease soil microbial activity and bacterial diversity (Ding et al 2017). On the other hand, use of organic compost is a sustainable and climate-smart approach to increase soil fertility.…”

Sustainable food production is one of the major challenges of the twenty-first century in the era of global environmental problems such as climate change, increasing population and natural resource degradation including soil degradation and biodiversity loss. Climate change is among the greatest threats to agricultural systems. Green Revolution though multiplied agricultural production several folds but at the huge environmental cost including climate change. It jeopardized the ecological integrity of agroecosystems by intensive use of fossil fuels, natural resources, agrochemicals and machinery. Moreover, it threatened the age-old traditional agricultural practices. Agriculture is one of the largest sectors that sustain livelihood to maximum number of people and contribute to climate change. Therefore, a climate-smart approach to sustainable food production is the need of hour. Traditional agriculture is getting increased attention worldwide in context of sustainable food production in changing climate. The present article advocates traditional agriculture as a climate-smart approach for the sustainable food production and also deliberates the correlation between climate change and agriculture.
