Soils are a main repository of biodiversity harbouring immense diversity of microbial species
that plays a central role in fundamental ecological processes and acts as the seed bank for …

Soil microbial communities mix and interact, a widespread phenomenon known as
community coalescence. However, in the context of different coalescence degrees, the …

Application of organic fertilizers is an important strategy for sustainable agriculture. The
biological source of organic fertilizers determines their specific functional characteristics, but …

Anthropogenic nitrogen inputs lead to a high ammonium (NH4+)/nitrate (NO3−) ratio in the
soil, which restricts hyphal spreading of soil fungi. Access of symbiotic fungi to roots is a …

Beneficial interactions between plants and rhizosphere microorganisms are key
determinants of plant health with the potential to enhance the sustainability of agricultural …

Global change is affecting soil biodiversity and functioning across all terrestrial ecosystems.
Still, much is unknown about how soil biodiversity and function will change in the future in …
