Structure-guided identification of denitrification inhibitors to mitigate agricultural N 2 O emissions
Abstract Reducing anthropogenic nitrous oxide emissions from agricultural lands is critical to combating climate change. Nitrification inhibitors and synthetic microbial consortia have already demonstrated potential in decreasing soil nitrification-derived nitrous oxide emissions. However, targeted interventions addressing denitrification sources while balancing agricultural sustainability remain challenging.
National restoration initiatives promote China’s marine ecosystem recovery
|
Abstract Rapid coastal development and climate change drive global coastal ecosystem degradation, prompting widespread cross-regional and multi-ecosystem marine restoration initiatives. However, the effectiveness of such initiatives remains difficult to assess nationally or globally due to the lack of scalable indicators and accessible data.

Plant traits explain variation in symbiotic nitrogen fixation responses to global nitrogen enrichment: a meta-analysis - Nature Communications
Abstract Anthropogenic nitrogen enrichment is widely expected to suppress symbiotic nitrogen fixation in terrestrial ecosystems. Nevertheless, observed symbiotic nitrogen fixation responses remain incompletely explained by exogenous nitrogen inputs, climate, and edaphic factors. In this meta-analysis, we integrate 908 globally distributed field measurements to identify the key predictors that improve simulation of symbiotic nitrogen fixation responses to nitrogen enrichment.
Large-scale multi-omics unveils host–microbiome interactions driving root development and nitrogen acquisition - Nature Plants
Abstract The rhizosphere microbiome plays a crucial role in determining plant performance and fitness. Nevertheless, regulatory mechanisms linking host genetic variation, root gene regulation and microbiome assembly—and their collective influence on plant nutritional traits—remain poorly understood.

Author Correction: Soil organic carbon thresholds control fertilizer effects on carbon accrual in croplands worldwide - Nature Communications
Correction to: Nature Communications https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-025-57981-6, published online 27th March 2025 In the Acknowledgements section of this article, the grant numbers relating to the ‘National Natural Science Foundation of China’ given for J.T. was incorrectly given as ‘U32071629’ and should have been U23A20158 and 32071629. The original article has been corrected.
Soil organic carbon thresholds control fertilizer effects on carbon accrual in croplands worldwide - Nature Communications
Abstract Initiatives to restore soil fertility and mitigate global warming rely on rebuilding soil organic carbon (SOC). Nitrogen (N) fertilization is crucial for crop yields but affects SOC unpredictably due to varying responses of particulate organic carbon (POC) and mineral-associated organic carbon (MAOC) pools to initial SOC levels.
Multiomics dissection of Brassica napus L. lateral roots and endophytes interactions under phosphorus starvation - Nature Communications
Abstract Many plants associate with endophytic microbes that improve root phosphorus (P) uptake. Understanding the interactions between roots and endophytes can enable efforts to improve P utilization. Here, we characterize the interactions between lateral roots of endophytes in a core collection of 50 rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) genotypes with differing sensitivities to low P conditions.
Nitrifying niche in estuaries is expanded by the plastisphere - Nature Communications
Abstract The estuarine plastisphere, a novel ecological habitat in the Anthropocene, has garnered global concerns. Recent geochemical evidence has pointed out its potential role in influencing nitrogen biogeochemistry. However, the biogeochemical significance of the plastisphere and its mechanisms regulating nitrogen cycling remain elusive.
An optimized crop–livestock system can achieve a safe and just planetary boundary for phosphorus at the sub-basin level in China - Nature Food
Abstract The contribution of crop and livestock production to the exceedance of the planetary boundary for phosphorus (P) in China is still unclear, despite the country’s well-known issues with P fertilizer overuse and P-related water pollution. Using coupled models at sub-basin scales we estimate that livestock production increased the consumption of P fertilizer fivefold and exacerbated P losses twofold from 1980 to 2017.

Heritable microbiome variation is correlated with source environment in locally adapted maize varieties - Nature Plants
Abstract Beneficial interactions with microorganisms are pivotal for crop performance and resilience. However, it remains unclear how heritable the microbiome is with respect to the host plant genotype and to what extent host genetic mechanisms can modulate plant–microbiota interactions in the face of environmental stresses.
Co-benefits for net carbon emissions and rice yields through improved management of organic nitrogen and water - Nature Food
Abstract Returning organic nutrient sources (for example, straw and manure) to rice fields is inevitable for coupling crop–livestock production. However, an accurate estimate of net carbon (C) emissions and strategies to mitigate the abundant methane (CH4) emission from rice fields supplied with organic sources remain unclear. Here, using machine learning and a global dataset, we scaled the field findings up to worldwide rice fields to reconcile rice yields and net C emissions.

Effects of plant tissue permeability on invasion and population bottlenecks of a phytopathogen - Nature Communications
Abstract Pathogen genetic diversity varies in response to environmental changes. However, it remains unclear whether plant barriers to invasion could be considered a genetic bottleneck for phytopathogen populations. Here, we implement a barcoding approach to generate a pool of 90 isogenic and individually barcoded Ralstonia solanacearum strains.

Pursuing sustainable productivity with millions of smallholder farmers
Sustainably feeding a growing population is a grand challenge1,2,3, and one that is particularly difficult in regions that are dominated by smallholder farming. Despite local successes4,5,6,7,8, mobilizing vast smallholder communities with science- and evidence-based management practices to simultaneously address production and pollution problems has been infeasible.
