Phospholipid ester-linked fatty acid (PLFA) profiles were used to evaluate soil microbial
community composition for 9 land use types in two coastal valleys in California. These included …

Aim Although patterns are emerging for macroorganisms, we have limited understanding of
the factors determining soil microbial community composition and productivity at large …

Impacts of soil tillage and cover crops on soil carbon (C) dynamics and microbiological
function were investigated in a vineyard grown in California's mediterranean climate. We (1) …

Background Climate-smart agriculture (CSA) addresses the challenge of meeting the growing
demand for food, fibre and fuel, despite the changing climate and fewer opportunities for …

Vineyard floor management has multiple goals that encompass improving weed management
and soil conservation, reducing soil resource availability to control vine vigor, and …

The living soil system is of primary importance in sustainable agricultural production. Soil
quality is considered as an integrative indicator of environmental quality, food security and …

Agricultural practices have strong impacts on soil microbes including both the indices related
to biomass and activity as well as those related to community composition. In a grassland …

Impacts of cover crops, tillage and abiotic factors on soil nitrogen (N) dynamics, greenhouse
gas emissions, and microbiological functions were investigated in a vineyard in California's …

Here, we examine soil-borne microbial biogeography as a function of the features that
define an American Viticultural Area (AVA), a geographically delimited American wine grape-…

Little is known about the hierarchical effects of management practices, soil attributes and
location factors on structure of vineyard soil microbiota. A hierarchical effect occurs when the …
