Figure 1 in Bin et al. (2025): "Schematic representation of the plant–soil feedback experimental setup used to assess the individual soil functions. Briefly, soil was conditioned first by 12 species for 8 weeks (conditioning phase) to create crop-specific soils. In the feedback phase, all crops were grown in all conditioned soils to measure biomass function. The nutrient cycling function was assessed by measuring the potential N mineralization rate, mineral N availability and plant-available P. The disease suppressiveness function was measured by using a pathosystem of Rhizoctonia solani-cress on crop-specific soils. The carbon storage function was assessed by measuring permanganate-oxidizable carbon (POX-C), basal carbon respiration rate, soil organic matter content and total carbon content."

#HumanActivities exert a more significant influence on #SoilMultifunctionality (SMF) than #ClimateChange in China’s #Drylands, and well-planned ecological restoration was likely to sustain and enhance SMF over time, particularly in hyper-arid areas.
