Broadacre (arable) crops generally require a relatively higher nutrient input toward yield
targets. The efficient use of nutrients in arable farmlands is very vital to this endeavor. It …

Since the advent of sequencing technologies, the determination of microbial diversity to
predict microbial functions, which are the major determinants of soil functions, has become a …

Nitrogen fertilization and irrigation patterns have been extensively studied for common
maize (Zea mays L.), but there is limited published work for Zhengda 619, especially in …

Plant–microbial interactions in the rhizosphere are an essential link in soil nitrogen (N)
cycling and plant N supply. Plant phenotype and genotype interact with the soil environment …

In the last decades, many studies were addressed to focus the interplay between plant and
microbial community into the soil and especially in the small soil zone in contact to plant …

Biopores are pores or voids in soil produced by roots, by earthworms, or by the occupation
of earthworms in root pores, which are considered important microbial hotspots, especially …

Rhizosphere microbial communities are critically important for soil nitrogen cycling and plant
productivity. There is evidence that plant species and genotypes select distinct rhizosphere …

We studied how the Lo5 and T250 maize lines, characterized by high and low nitrogen use
efficiency (NUE), respectively, modified the microbial biomass, enzymatic activities and …

Soil microbial community responses to elevated CO 2 (eCO 2) occur mainly indirect via CO
2-induced plant growth stimulation, leading to quantitative as well as qualitative changes in …

Bacterial alkaline phosphomonoesterases (APases) are relevant for organic phosphorus
(Po) recycling in many soils. However, the abundance and diversity of bacterial APase in the …
