Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) is widely cultivated to reduce nitrogen (N) fertilizer inputs for the
subsequent crop and can improve soil nitrogen (N) availability and crop yields, widely …

Understanding microbial responses to crop rotation and legacy of cropping history can
assist in determining how land use management impacts microbially mediated soil …

As soil and soilless culture systems are highly dynamic environments, the structure of
rhizosphere microbial communities is consistently adapting. There is a knowledge gap …

Agricultural management practices affect bulk soil microbial communities and the functions
they carry out, but it remains unclear how these effects extend to the rhizosphere in different …

While it has been well evidenced that plant domestication affects the structure of the root-
associated microbiome, there is a poor understanding of how domestication-mediated …

Microorganisms play essential roles in agricultural systems, and their abundance, diversity
and activity can be influenced by management practices. Crop rotational diversity is known …

Greenhouse vegetable production in China has exploded in 2014, with a yield of 260 million
tons, representing 35% of the overall vegetable production accounts, and tomato (Solanum …

Diverse crop rotations can improve crop productivity but impacts on the interaction of soil
nutrient cycling and the soil and root-associated microbiomes are not well understood. Here …

Root-associated microbes are key players in plant health, disease resistance, and nitrogen
(N) use efficiency. It remains largely unclear how the interplay of biological and …

Evaluation of the soil rhizosphere has been limited by the lack of robust assessments that
can explore the vast complex structure and diversity of soil microbial communities. Our …
