Recent advances in microbial ecology and synthetic biology have the potential to mitigate
damage caused by anthropogenic activities that are deleteriously impacting Earth's soil …

For all living organisms, nitrogen is an essential element, while being the most limiting in
ecosystems and for crop production. Despite the significant contribution of synthetic …

Interactions between distant places are increasingly widespread and influential, often
leading to unexpected outcomes with profound implications for sustainability. Numerous …

Plant-microbe interactions in the rhizosphere are the determinants of plant health,
productivity and soil fertility. Plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) are bacteria that can …

Biological dinitrogen (N 2) fixation is a natural process of significant importance in world
agriculture. The demand for accurate determinations of global inputs of biologically-fixed …

Although relationships among soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr) seed yield, nitrogen (N)
uptake, biological N2 fixation (BNF), and response to N fertilization have received …

Although many environments like soils are constantly subjected to invasion by alien
microbes, invaders usually fail to succeed, succumbing to the robust diversity often found in …

Core Ideas As N2 fixation (%) increased, seed production per N2 fixation decreased. The N‐
gap between crop N uptake and N supplied by N2 fixation rose when contribution from …

The objective of this study was to determine in a long-term experiment (13 years) the effect
of three different crop rotations (R1: wheat (Triticum aestivum)–soybean (Glycine max), R2 …

▪ Abstract Agriculture has evolved independently in three insect orders: once in ants, once in
termites, and seven times in ambrosia beetles. Although these insect farmers are in some …
