Depth-dependent effects of crop rotation and monoculture on dissolved organic matter quantity and quality
(Frontiers, 2025) Ren, Tianjing; Debaene, Guillaume; Ukalska-Jaruga, Aleksandra; Smreczak, Bożena
Soil dissolved organic matter (DOM) regulates nutrient cycling and carbon sequestration, yet how cropping systems (rotation vs. monoculture) shape the vertical distribution and molecular traits of DOM remains unclear.

In Europe, 60%–70% of soils are considered degraded, underscoring the urgent need for consistent monitoring to prevent further degradation and support evidence-based policies for sustainable soil management. Many countries in Europe have implemented one or more soil monitoring systems (SMSs), often established long before the EU-wide “Land Use/Cover Area frame statistical Survey Soil”, LUCAS Soil program. As a result, their sampling strategies and analytical methodologies vary significantly. The proposed EU Directive on Soil Monitoring and Resilience (Soil Monitoring Law, SML) aims to address these differences by establishing a unified framework for systematic soil health monitoring across the EU. This paper assesses the compatibility of the 25 identified SMSs from countries participating in the EJP SOIL Program with the anticipated requirements of the SML. The analysis focuses on critical aspects, including sampling strategies, analytical methods, and data accessibility. Results show significant variability in SMS approaches, including sampling depth, monitored land uses, and analytical methods, which limit cross-system comparability. Despite challenges, opportunities for harmonization include aligning SMSs with the LUCAS Soil methodology, developing transfer functions, and adopting scoring systems for soil health evaluation. Enhanced collaboration and data accessibility are also emphasized as critical for achieving the SML's objectives. This research provides actionable recommendations to harmonise SMSs with the SML framework, promoting coordinated soil monitoring efforts across Europe to support the EU's goal of achieving healthy soils by 2050.
Global pattern and drivers of soil soluble organic nitrogen
(Innovation Press, 2025) Ren, Tianjing; Miao, Tiantian; Li, Xiaofei; Zhang, Wenju; Smreczak, Bożena; Ukalska-Jaruga, Aleksandra; Li, Yu’e; Cai, Andong
Soil soluble organic nitrogen (SON) is a central component of the terrestrial nitrogen cycle, acting as both a precursor to inorganic nitrogen via mineralization and a product of microbial assimilation of inorganic forms. Due to its high solubility and mobility, SON also represents a critical pathway for nitrogen loss and is a key contributor to nitrogen pollution and eutrophication in downstream aquatic ecosystems. Despite its ecological significance, the global distribution and environmental drivers of SON remain poorly understood, largely due to a lack of spatially explicit data. To address this gap, we compiled a comprehensive global SON dataset comprising 5,782 topsoil samples (0-30 cm depth) from 379 published studies, including detailed information on geographic location, climate, and soil properties. Overall, the global SON concentrations ranged from 0.04 to 1034 mg kg-1, with an average concentration of 41.36 mg kg-1. The random forest model could explain 82% of the variations in SON concentrations. Elevation, parent material, and mean annual precipitation emerged as the most influential predictors. Machine learning was used to quantify environmental contributions to SON and predict its global stock, estimated at 2.4 Pg N. The resulting global SON map revealed a distinct latitudinal gradient, with SON concentrations increasing toward higher latitudes. In addition, meta-analysis showed that except for reduced precipitation, biochar, and no-tillage, other global changes increased global SON to varying degrees (-4.45% – 70.71%). This study provides the first global map of SON distribution and identifies key biophysical and environmental controls of SON dynamics.
The Effect of Polyploidisation on the Physiological Parameters, Biochemical Profile, and Tolerance to Abiotic and Biotic Stresses of Plants
(MDPI, 2025) Koziara-Ciupa, Marta; Trojak-Goluch, Anna
Polyploidisation is a very common phenomenon in the plant kingdom and plays a key role in plant evolution and breeding. It promotes speciation and the extension of biodiversity. It is estimated that approximately 47% of flowering plant species are polyploids, derived from two or more diploid ancestral species. In natural populations, the predominant methods of whole-genome multiplication are somatic cell polyploidisation, meiotic cell polyploidisation, or endoreduplication. The formation and maintenance of polyploidy is accompanied by a series of epigenetic and gene expression changes, leading to alterations in the structural, physiological, and biochemical characteristics of polyploids relative to diploids. This article provides information on the mechanisms of formation of natural and synthetic polyploids. It presents a number of examples of the effects of polyploidisation on the composition and content of secondary metabolites of polyploids, providing evidence of the importance of the phenomenon in plant adaptation to the environment, improvement of wild species, and crops. It aims to gather and systematise knowledge on the effects of polyploidisation on plant physiological traits, including stomatal conductance (Gs), transpiration rate (Tr), light saturation point (LSP), as well as the most important photosynthetic parameters determining biomass accumulation. The text also presents the latest findings on the adaptation of polyploids to biotic and abiotic stresses and explains the basic mechanisms of epigenetic changes determining resistance to selected stress factors.
