Plant-microbe interactions are of particular importance in polluted soils. This study sought to
determine how selected plants (horseradish, black nightshade and tobacco) and NPK …

Soil continuous cropping obstacles lead to yield and economic losses in agriculture.
Reductive soil disinfestation (RSD) is an effective technology for alleviating it. However, the …

The survival and growth strategies, community structure and functions of microbial
decomposers vary with substrate stoichiometry, which profoundly influences substrate …

Mechanisms controlling carbon stabilisation in soil and its feedback to climate change are of
considerable importance. Microbial substrate-use efficiency is an important property during …

Direct observations of the complex and highly dynamic metabolic landscapes that affect the
structure and functioning of bacterial communities in natural soil are limited by soil opacity …

Interactions between plants, soils and microbes regulate terrestrial ecosystem functioning.
Biotic and abiotic interactions can strongly affect the community structure which in turn will …

The soil microbiome is highly diverse and comprises up to one quarter of Earth's diversity.
Yet, how such a diverse and functionally complex microbiome influences ecosystem …

Ecological communities are increasingly confronted with multiple global change factors,
which can have wide-ranging consequences for ecosystem structure and functions. Yet, we …

Soil microbes are among the most abundant and diverse organisms on Earth. Although
microbial decomposers, particularly fungi, are important mediators of global carbon and …

The world's population is increasing at an unprecedented rate and exceeded 7.5 billion in
2018. To meet the projected demands from not only the rising population, but also diet shifts …
