Abstract：
Crop diversification practices offer numerous synergistic benefits. So far, research has traditionally been confined to exploring isolated, unidirectional single-process interactions among plants, soil, and microorganisms. Here, we present a novel and systematic perspective, unveiling the intricate web of plant-soil-microbiome interactions that trigger cascading effects. Applying the principles of cascading interactions can be an alternative way to overcome soil obstacles such as soil compaction and soil pathogen pressure. Finally, we introduce a research framework comprising the design of diversified cropping systems by including commercial varieties and crops with resource-efficient traits, the exploration of cascading effects, and the innovation of field management. We propose that this provides theoretical and methodological insights that can reveal new mechanisms by which crop diversity increases productivity.
摘要：
作物多样化做法提供了许多协同效益。到目前为止,研究传统上局限于孤立的探索，植物之间的单向单过程相互作用，土壤,和微生物。这里,我们提出了一个新颖而系统的观点，揭示了引发级联效应的植物-土壤-微生物组相互作用的复杂网络。应用级联相互作用的原理可以是克服土壤压实和土壤病原体压力等土壤障碍的替代方法。最后,我们引入了一个研究框架，包括设计多样化的种植系统，包括商业品种和具有资源节约型特征的作物，探索级联效应，以及现场管理的创新。我们建议，这提供了理论和方法上的见解，可以揭示作物多样性提高生产力的新机制。
