The association between plants and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) affects plant
performance and ecosystem functioning. Recent studies have identified AMF-associated …

Mycorrhizal symbioses between plants and fungi are vital for the soil structure, nutrient
cycling, plant diversity, and ecosystem sustainability. More than 250 000 plant species are …

The reduction rate of nitrous oxide (N 2 O) is affected by the electron competition among the
four denitrifying steps, limiting the mitigation of N 2 O emissions during wastewater …

Background Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis has been referred to as the mother of all
plant root symbioses as it predated the evolution of plant roots. The AM research is a …

Low-carbon approaches to agriculture constitute a pivotal measure to address the challenge
of global climate change. In agroecosystems, rhizosphere exudates are significantly …

Background Plant microbiomes play crucial roles in nutrient cycling and plant growth, and
are shaped by a complex interplay between plants, microbes, and the environment. The role …

Agriculture is a major source of nutrient pollution, posing a threat to the earth system
functioning. Factors determining the nutrient use efficiency of plant–soil systems need to be …

Agriculture is a major contributor to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and one of the sectors
most vulnerable to climate change. Mulching, the application of an organic layer to an …

Low-dosage nitrate pollutants can contribute to eutrophication in surface water bodies, such
as lakes and reservoirs. This study employed assembled denitrifying bacterial-fungal …

Nitrogen (N) is a vital nutrient and an essential component of biological macromolecules
such as nucleic acids and proteins. Microorganisms are major drivers of N-cycling …
