Soil and rhizosphere microbial communities in agroecosystems may be affected by soil,
climate, plant species, and management. The management and environmental factors …

Plant diversity drives changes in the soil microbial community which may result in alterations
in ecosystem functions. However, the governing factors between the composition of soil …

Continuous monoculture in major agricultural regions has been characterized by the loss of
fertility, increased soil erosion and surface runoff. Thus, the inclusion of cover crops (CC) is a …

The effect of plant species identity and diversity on the spatial and temporal differentiation in
bacterial community structure in the active root zone was studied at a field site that was …

A number of studies have reported species specific selection of microbial communities in the
rhizosphere by plants. It is hypothesised that plants influence microbial community structure …

The composition of the microbial community in the rhizosphere was investigated using three
different techniques: direct soil–phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA), cfu–PLFA (using culturable …

In a field experiment we have examined the effect of long-term grassland management
regimes (viz., intensive versus extensive) and dominant plant species (viz., Arrhenatherum …

Exploration of environmental factors governing soil microbial community composition is long
overdue and now possible with improved methods for characterizing microbial communities …
