Plant-plant associations, notably cereal-legume intercropping, have been proposed in
agroecology to better value resources and thus reduce the use of chemical inputs in …

We assessed the impact of intercropping on the microbial communities in the rhizosphere of
wheat (Triticum turgidum L. ssp durum) and pea (Pisum sativum L.). Using a RNA based …

In an intercropping system, the interplay between cereals and legumes, which is strongly
driven by the complementarity of below-ground structures and their interactions with the soil …

Background and aims: Intercropping, a widely used planting pattern, could affect soil
physicochemical properties, microbial community diversity, and further crop yields. However …

High crop diversity can potentially enhance farmland productivity and ecosystem services,
through direct or indirect effects, particularly belowground. Intercropping is a powerful …

Intensive agriculture has major negative impacts on ecosystem diversity and functioning,
including that of soils. The associated reduction of soil biodiversity and essential soil …

Intercropping with legumes is an effective strategy to increase plant productivity, reduce
nitrogen (N) inputs, and maintain soil fertility in an industrial monoculture forest. However …

Microbial community ecology studies have traditionally utilized culture-based
methodologies, though the advent of next-generation amplicon sequencing has facilitated …
