Microbial communities play a pivotal role in the functioning of plants by influencing their
physiology and development. While many members of the rhizosphere microbiome are …

One of the main obstacles to plant growth is the lack of the availability of nutrient elements in
many agricultural environments in the world, especially the tropics where soils can be …

Bacteria and fungi can form a range of physical associations that depend on various modes
of molecular communication for their development and functioning. These bacterial-fungal …

Microbial communities in litter and soil are the functional link through which the tree species
occupying a site may alter rates of soil processes fundamental to nutrient cycling and carbon …

Life on Earth is sustained by a small volume of soil surrounding roots, called the
rhizosphere. The soil is where most of the biodiversity on Earth exists, and the rhizosphere …

Soil microbes play an essential role in the environment by contributing to the release of key
nutrients from primary minerals that are required not only for their own nutrition but also for …

Soils are the product of the activities of plants, which supply organic matter and play a
pivotal role in weathering rocks and minerals. Many plant species have a distinct ecological …

In natural conditions, mycorrhizal fungi are surrounded by complex microbial communities,
which modulate the mycorrhizal symbiosis. Here, the focus is on the so‐called 'mycorrhiza …

The fungal symbionts forming ectomycorrhizas, as well as their associated bacteria, benefit
forest trees in a number of ways although the most important is enhancing soil nutrient …

Phosphorus (P) is a limiting factor to plant growth and productivity in almost half of the
world's arable soil, and its uptake in plants is often constrained because of its low solubility …
