The effect of microplastics (MPs) on the biological treatment of organic waste has been
extensively studied, but little is known about the influence of different MPs on composting …

Phyllosphere microorganisms have recently attracted the attention of scientists studying
plant microbiomes. The origin, diversity, functions, and interactions of phyllosphere …

Saprotrophic fungi are abundant in soils of (semi-) natural ecosystems, where they play a

Despite glyphosate's wide use for weed control in agriculture, questions remain about the
herbicide's effect on soil microbial communities. The existing scientific literature contains …

Fungal communities play a critical role in regulating soil nutrient cycling and plant growth.
However, the effects of long-term mineral and organic fertilization on fungal communities in …

Strigolactones are an important group of plant hormones. When released from roots, they act
as signalling molecules that induce branching of arbuscular mycorrhizal hyphae. However …

Soil pH plays a pivotal role in shaping microbial diversity and community composition in
terrestrial ecosystems. Soil microbes clearly do not exist independently and instead form …
