Plants live in association with diverse microorganisms, collectively called the microbiome.
These microbes live either inside (endosphere) or outside (episphere) of plant tissues …

Soil microorganisms are clearly a key component of both natural and managed ecosystems.
Despite the challenges of surviving in soil, a gram of soil can contain thousands of individual …

Healthy soils are critical to the health of ecosystems, economies, and human populations.
Thus, it is widely acknowledged that soil health is important to quantify, both for assessment …

Revealing the linkages between community assembly and species coexistence, which is
crucial for the understanding of ecosystem diversity and functioning, is a fundamental but …

The presence of microplastics and arsenic in soil can endanger crop growth; therefore, their
effects on the properties of rhizosphere soil should be evaluated. Large (10–100 µm) and …

Little is known about the factors affecting the relative influences of stochastic and
deterministic processes that govern the assembly of microbial communities in successional …

Soil organic carbon (SOC) is an important component of soil ecosystems, and soils are a
hotbed of microorganisms playing critical roles in soil functions and ecosystem services …

Background Soil ecosystems consist of complex interactions between biological
communities and physico-chemical variables, all of which contribute to the overall quality of …
