The ecology of forest soils is an important field of research due to the role of forests as
carbon sinks. Consequently, a significant amount of information has been accumulated …

Soil microbiota plays an important role in the sustainable production of the different types of
agrosystems. Among the members of the plant microbiota, mycorrhizal fungi (MF) and plant …

Mycorrhizal fungi are mutualists that play crucial roles in nutrient acquisition in terrestrial
ecosystems. Mycorrhizal symbioses arose repeatedly across multiple lineages of …

In forest ecosystems, trees represent the major primary producers and affect the chemical
composition and microbial processes in the ecosystem via specific litter chemistry and …

Understanding the ecology of coniferous forests is very important because these
environments represent globally largest carbon sinks. Metatranscriptomics, microbial …

Agricultural cropping systems and pasture comprise one third of the world's arable land and
have the potential to draw down a considerable amount of atmospheric CO 2 for storage as …

While it is well established that plants associating with arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) and
ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi cycle carbon (C) and nutrients in distinct ways, we have a …

While the number of studies dealing with fine root dynamics in deep soils layers (depth> 1
m) has increased sharply recently, the phenology, the morphology, the anatomy and the role …

Certain species of plants can benefit from synergistic effects with plant growth-promoting
rhizobacteria (PGPR) that improve plant growth and metal accumulation, mitigating toxic …

The study of soil N cycling processes has been, is, and will be at the centre of attention in
soil science research. The importance of N as a nutrient for all biota; the ever-increasing …
