Regulatory response and interaction of Bradyrhizobium and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi
(AMF) play a vital role in rhizospheric soil processes and productivity of soybean (Glycine …

Rhizosphere priming is crucial for regulating soil carbon and nitrogen biogeochemical
cycles. An appreciable number of studies have been conducted to quantify the rhizosphere …

Despite decades of research progress, ecologists are still debating which pools and fluxes
provide nitrogen (N) to plants and soil microbes across different ecosystems …

While there is an emerging view that roots and their associated microbes actively alter
resource availability and soil organic matter (SOM) decomposition, the ecosystem …

Abstract Theory and experiments suggest that rhizodeposition can accelerate N-cycling by
stimulating microbial decomposition of soil organic matter (SOM). However, there are …

The rhizosphere is a complex environment where roots interact with physical, chemical and
biological properties of soil. Structural and functional characteristics of roots contribute to …

Living roots and their rhizodeposits affect microbial activity and soil carbon (C) and nitrogen
(N) mineralization. This so-called rhizosphere priming effect (RPE) has been increasingly …

Life on Earth is sustained by a small volume of soil surrounding roots, called the
rhizosphere. The soil is where most of the biodiversity on Earth exists, and the rhizosphere …

Roots are the first point of contact between biochar particles and growing plants, yet detailed
studies of biochar–root interactions are few. Biochar may affect root growth, and therefore …

Cereal production that now sustains a world population of more than 6.5 billion has tripled
during the past 40 yr, concurrent with an increase from 12 to 104 Tg yr− 1 of synthetic N …
