Ecological memory of recurrent drought modifies soil processes via changes in soil microbial community
Climate change is altering the frequency and severity of drought events. Recent evidence
indicates that drought may produce legacy effects on soil microbial communities. However, it …

Agricultural intensification reduces microbial network complexity and the abundance of keystone taxa in roots
Root-associated microbes play a key role in plant performance and productivity, making
them important players in agroecosystems. So far, very few studies have assessed the …

Root exudate metabolites drive plant-soil feedbacks on growth and defense by shaping the rhizosphere microbiota
By changing soil properties, plants can modify their growth environment. Although the soil
microbiota is known to play a key role in the resulting plant-soil feedbacks, the proximal …
