TL;DR: In this article, the impacts of three tillage systems (no tillage, ridge tillage and conventional tillage) on soil aggregate binding agents (i.e., organic carbon (SOC), microbial biomass and glomalin-related soil proteins (GRSPs)) and aggregation were studied in the black soil of Northeast China.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of tillage and residue input amounts on soil phosphatase (alkaline phosphomonoesterase ALP, acid phosphomonoeterase ACP, phosphodiesterase PD, and inorganic pyrophosphatase IPP) activities and soil phosphorus (P) forms (total P, organic P, and available P) were evaluated using soils collected from a three-year experiment.

TL;DR: Results indicate that the abundance and composition of the phoD gene community were significantly correlated with P reserves and P availability, with different members being influenced by different soil properties accompanied by various fertilizer treatments.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that changes of soil P availability as a result of long-term P fertilizer inputs significantly affected alkaline phosphomonoesterase activity by regulating phoD gene abundance, diversity, as well as altering the phOD gene community composition.

TL;DR: In this paper, the impact of long-term inputs of mineral nitrogen (N) fertilizer and swine manure on soil alkaline phosphatase activity is investigated, together with gene abundance and diversity within the soil bacterial community.
