Soils polluted with heavy metals have become common across the globe due to increase in
geologic and anthropogenic activities. Plants growing on these soils show a reduction in …

Background Plants alter their environment in a number of ways. With correct management,
plant communities can positively impact soil degradation processes such as surface erosion …

The term “Glomalin” was originally used to describe a hypothetical gene product of
arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) that was assumed to be a nearly ubiquitous …

Glycoproteins, eg, glomalin related soil proteins (GRSP), are sticky organic substances
produced by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). This review summarizes the information on …

This 3-year study investigated the effects of crop rotation and residue management (surface
retention of residues under zero tillage) on soil carbon pools, selected soil physical …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are key organisms of the soil/plant system, influencing
soil fertility and plant nutrition, and contributing to soil aggregation and soil structure stability …

Core Ideas The extraction protocol for “glomalin” extracts protein from a wide variety of
sources. The term glomalin or glomalin‐related soil protein is inaccurate and limits the utility …

Aggregation is important for soil functioning, providing physical protection of organic matter
and microbial inhabitants. Tillage disrupts aggregates, increases wind and water erosion of …

Manure application is widely recognized as a method of improving soil structure and soil
fertility due to additional organic matter and nutrient inputs. However, the salinity of animal …

Tillage strongly affects the process of soil aggregate stabilization, which involves a variety of
binding mechanisms interacting at a range of spatial scales. To understand how binding …
