Small-scale heterogeneity of abiotic and biotic factors is expected to play a crucial role in
species coexistence. It is known that plants are able to concentrate their root biomass into …

Some soil microorganisms, especially bacteria and mycorrhizal fungi, play a role in the
promotion of plant growth. However, plant growth promotion involving yeasts in soil has not …

The cultivation of leguminous green manure (LGM) crops in place of bare fallow in summer
enhances soil fertility, which can positively impact soil life in the agroecosystem. An …

As an important resource for screening microbial strains capable of conferring stress
tolerance in plants, the fungal community associated with the plants grown in stressful …

Soil is an ecosystem capable of producing the resources necessary for the development of
the living organisms. Soil microorganisms (bacteria and fungi) are responsible for biomass …

Land use change and intensification in agricultural landscapes of the Andean highlands
have resulted in widespread soil degradation and a loss in soil‐based ecosystem services …

The mineralosphere is an important micro habitat in terrestrial ecosystems. How different
groups of microorganisms colonise mineral surfaces and whether the level of grassland land …

Soil food webs are traditionally considered to have distinct energy channels through which
resources flow belowground. Resources enter the soil food web either from roots or from …

In this study, we investigated the impact of different land use intensities (LUI) on the root-
associated microbiome of Dactylis glomerata (orchardgrass). For this purpose, eight …

Earthworms have a significant influence on the structure, composition and functioning of
forest ecosystems, but in spite of their role as ecosystem engineers, little is known on the …
