Understanding microbial responses to crop rotation and legacy of cropping history can
assist in determining how land use management impacts microbially mediated soil …

The structure of microbial communities was examined as a function of community
composition and the relative abundance of specific microbial groups to examine the effects …

Soil and rhizosphere microbial communities in agroecosystems may be affected by soil,
climate, plant species, and management. The management and environmental factors …

Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) is widely cultivated to reduce nitrogen (N) fertilizer inputs for the
subsequent crop and can improve soil nitrogen (N) availability and crop yields, widely …

Agricultural management practices affect bulk soil microbial communities and the functions
they carry out, but it remains unclear how these effects extend to the rhizosphere in different …

Background and aims Soil microbial communities influence nutrient cycling, chemistry and
structure of soil, and plant productivity. In turn, agronomic practices such as fertilization and …

Soil microbes are known to be key drivers of several essential ecosystem processes such as
nutrient cycling, plant productivity and the maintenance of plant species diversity. However …

Long-term, systems-based experiments have previously demonstrated how different
cropping systems change soil physiochemical properties and, less commonly, soil microbial …

Biogeographic patterns in soil bacterial communities and their responses to environmental
variables are well established, yet little is known about how different types of agricultural …

Currently our limited understanding of crop rhizosphere community assembly hinders
attempts to manipulate it beneficially. Variation in root communities has been attributed to …
