Phosphate (Pi) is indispensable for life on this planet. However, for sessile land plants it is
poorly accessible. Therefore, plants have developed a variety of strategies for enhanced …

Globally, forests represent highly productive ecosystems that act as carbon sinks where soil
organic matter is formed from residuals after biomass decomposition as well as from …

Although interactions between plants and microbes at the plant–soil interface are known to
be important for plant nutrient acquisition, relatively little is known about how root exudates …

There is increasing evidence that the origins of organic acids (OAs) are as important as their
roles and pathways of production. This review focuses on information about challenges …

Soil organisms are recognized as ecosystem engineers and key for aggregation in soil due
to bioturbation, organic matter (OM) decomposition, and excretion of biogenic OM. The …

Small RNAs (sRNAs) are known to regulate pathogenic plant–microbe interactions.
Emerging evidence from the study of these model systems suggests that microRNAs …

This is the twelfth contribution to the Fungal Diversity Notes series on fungal taxonomy,
based on materials collected from many countries which were examined and described …

Microbes play key geoactive roles in the biosphere, particularly in the areas of element
biotransformations and biogeochemical cycling, metal and mineral transformations …

Nitrogen availability is a pivotal control on terrestrial carbon sequestration and global
climate change. Historical and contemporary views assume that nitrogen enters Earth's land …

Fundamentals of Soil Ecology, 3rd Edition, offers a holistic approach to soil biology and
ecosystem function, providing students and ecosystem researchers with a greater …
