A starting guide to root ecology: strengthening ecological concepts and standardising root classification, sampling, processing and trait measurements
In the context of a recent massive increase in research on plant root functions and their
impact on the environment, root ecologists currently face many important challenges to keep …

An underground revolution: biodiversity and soil ecological engineering for agricultural sustainability
Soil organisms are an integral component of ecosystems, but their activities receive little
recognition in agricultural management strategies. Here we synthesize the potential of soil …

Root exudates drive soil‐microbe‐nutrient feedbacks in response to plant growth
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 …

Crop cover is more important than rotational diversity for soil multifunctionality and cereal yields in European cropping systems
In natural ecosystems, positive effects of plant diversity on ecosystem functioning have been
widely observed, yet whether this is true in cropping systems remains unclear. Here we …
