Microbial interactions for nutrient acquisition in soil: miners, scavengers, and carriers
T Cao, Y Luo, M Shi, X Tian, Y Kuzyakov - Soil Biology and Biochemistry, 2024 - Elsevier
Microbial interactions in soil are hidden, as they occur stealthily in a 'dark box'. This greatly

From energy to (soil organic) matter
A Gunina, Y Kuzyakov - Global change biology, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
In this concept paper, we propose a new view on soil organic matter (SOM) formation:
microorganisms use most of the organics entering the soil as energy rather than as a source …
