Since the colonization of land by ancestral plant lineages 450 million years ago, plants and
their associated microbes have been interacting with each other, forming an assemblage of …

The plant microbiomes play important role in plant growth promotion and soil fertility for
sustainable agriculture. Plant and soil are valuable natural resource harbouring hotspots of …

Fungi represent a large proportion of the genetic diversity on Earth and fungal activity
influences the structure of plant and animal communities, as well as rates of ecosystem …

The surface of plant leaves, or the phyllosphere, harbors hyperdiverse microbial
communities. These communities mediate foliar functional traits, influence plant fitness, and …

Shifts in soil microbial communities over altitudinal gradients and the driving factors are
poorly studied. Their elucidation is indispensable to gain a comprehensive understanding of …

Particulate matter (PM) pollution poses a significant risk to many ecosystems; as sessile
organisms, plants are at particular risk from PM pollution since they cannot move away from …

Soil organisms are considered drivers of soil ecosystem services (primary productivity,
nutrient cycling, carbon cycling, water regulation) associated with sustainable agricultural …

The phyllosphere referred to the total aerial plant surfaces (above-ground portions), as
habitat for microorganisms. Microorganisms establish compositionally complex communities …

Due to land use history, most of the current temperate and boreal forests are developed on
nutrient-poor and rocky soils, keeping fertile soils for agriculture. Consequently, the …

The distribution patterns of the microbial community and enzyme activity in soil systems
along an elevation gradient have attracted considerable attention; however, the differences …
