TL;DR: The 6th edition of the Polish Soil Classification (SGP6) as discussed by the authors aims to maintain soil classification in Poland as a modern scientific system that reflects current scientific knowledge, understanding of soil functions and the practical requirements of society.

TL;DR: Bacterial and fungal community structure of alder root microsymbionts and endophytes depends on five soil chemical parameters: salinity, phosphorus, pH, saturation percentage (SP) as well as total organic carbon (TOC), and seasonality does not appear to be an important factor shaping microbial communities.

TL;DR: Bacterial and fungal microbiomes of S. europaea are determined by the origin of salinity at the sites, which takes us closer to understanding of interactions between the two microbial groups.

TL;DR: The salinity in the root zone soil was crucial in structuring the endophytic community of S. europaea, and the significant prevalence of representatives from the phyla Deltaproteobacteria, Acidob bacteria, Caldithrix, Fibrobacteres, and Verrucomicrobia at the more saline test site suggest domination of Halophylic bacteria with potential role in mitigation of salt stress of halophytes.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the soil distribution patterns in the area of two medium-sized Polish cities (Torun and Zielona Gora) to answer the question of how natural and technogenic factors contributed to the transformation of urban soils and what the similarities and differences are between these two studied cities.
