• Contrasting impacts of long-term nitrogen and phosphorus additions on the quantity and quality of soil dissolved organic matter (2026) · Soil Ecology Letters · cited 1× · doi

  Further research is needed to examine the effects of nitrogen and phosphorus additions on soil organic matter and dissolved organic matter in different ecosystems. The study highlights the need for long-term experiments to examine the effects of nitrogen and phosphorus additions on soil organic matter dynamics.

• Synergistic effects of organic amendments on soil properties and microbial communities in alpine mining soils (2026) · China National GeneBank DataBase · doi

  While organic amendments are widely recognized as effective strategies for soil improvement, their synergistic effects on soil physicochemical properties, heavy metal dynamics, and microbially mediated ecological processes remain insufficiently understood.
