Acidobacteria represents an underrepresented soil bacterial phylum whose members are
pervasive and copiously distributed across nearly all ecosystems. Acidobacterial sequences …

The well-being of the microbial community that densely populates the rhizosphere is aided
by a plant's root exudates. Maintaining a plant's health is a key factor in its continued …

The arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are a globally distributed group of soil organisms that
play critical roles in ecosystem function. However, the ecological niches of individual AM …

Microbial interactions with plant roots play an imperial role in tomato plant growth and
defense against the Rhizoctonia solani. This study performed a field experiment with two …

Forage monoculture and grass (Gramineae)-legume mixtures are the two most commonly
used planting patterns for establishing farming grasslands, but the effects of these planting …

Decomposition is a major flux of the carbon cycle in forest soils and understanding the
involved processes is a key for budgeting carbon turnover. Decomposition is constrained by …

Recent evidence showed that bacteria and fungi appear to have different latitudinal diversity
gradients at the global scale. However, the ecological drivers explaining these decoupled …

Tree species influence the chemical properties of the organic horizon and mineral soil.
