Agricultural practices significantly impact soil properties and ecological functions, highlighting the importance of comprehensive soil health assessments. Traditionally, these assessments have focused on physical and chemical indicators, often neglecting microbiological properties. This review explores the potential of microbiological indicators i...

The phenomics approach for understanding the plant physiological process is a powerful tool for understanding the complexities of plant and microbe interaction, mainly in terms of nutrient absorption and utilization. Various abiotic stress factors modulate plant nutrient assimilation, affecting physiological, biochemical, and molecular processes. H...

This work describes the microbial community structure of the continuously revegetated chronosequence of a former sand quarry, which demonstrates a unique example of nearly complete soil restoration in less than 100 years. Samples were collected at five time points (0, 3, 30, 70 years and mature soil) from the entire set of soil horizons, revealing...

The genus Fusarium includes many pathogenic species causing a wide range of plant diseases that lead to high economic losses. In this review, we describe how the Fusarium taxonomy has changed with the development of microbiological methods. We specify the ecological traits of this genus and the methods of its identification in soils, particularly t...

The review summarizes the most relevant microbiological characteristics that can serve as indicators of soil ecological functions: bioresource, phytosanitary, as well as the functions of carbon transformation and plant nutrition. The indices of diversity and taxonomic structure of microbial communities as well as abundance of certain groups of micr...

Creation of artificial forest plantations on a global scale is one of the ways to mitigate the negative effects of climate change on ecosystems, at the same time providing soil protection from erosion, regulation of the hydrological regime and carbon sequestration in soils of different natural and climatic zones. However, the change of the dominant...

High-throughput 16S rRNA sequencing was performed to compare the microbiomes inhabiting two contrasting soil types—sod-podzolic soil and chernozem—and the corresponding culturome communities of potentially cellulolytic bacteria cultured on standard Hutchinson media. For each soil type, soil-specific microorganisms have been identified: for sod-podz...

Fires have a strong effect on soil microbiome, and the mechanisms of soil restoration after fires are currently not well understood.Thisstudy describes the characteristics of microbial communities in the Psamment Entisol soils of pine forests in the city of Togliatti after forest crown and surface fires.Geochemistry, soil respiration and microbial...

The study of chronosequences allows the analysis of the temporal and spatial dynamics of ecogenesis, soil microbiome and soil development. Here, we investigated the taxonomic diversity of bacterial and archaeal communities along a chronosequence of soils that formed on four Lake Ladoga coastal bars in the Nizhnesvirsky Nature Reserve (Leningrad reg...

The physicochemical parameters, plant community, and the structure of prokaryotic complexes of differently-aged young soils formed in the Kursk magnetic anomaly region (KMA, Russia) are analyzed. The objects were technozems of 1-year (with and without vegetative cover), as well as 25- and 50-year-old embryonic soils. Prokaryotic communities of tech...

Localization of agriculture with the aim of local food support has become a very urgent topic for Yamal region. The most fertile soils of this region are sandy textured anthropogenically affected soils. Microbiomes from disturbed soils of the Nadym region were studied using analysis of 16S rRNA metagenomic libraries. It was shown that plant cover i...

The physicochemical parameters, vegetation and biodiversity of microbiomes inhabiting 10-, 35- and 50-year-old embryonic soils (technozems) formed in the mining areas of the Kursk Magnetic Anomaly (Russia) were analyzed in the current study. Analysis of taxonomic diversity was carried out by 454-pyrosequencing of the V4 variable region of the 16S r...
