[HTML][HTML] Strong cooperations among diazotroph and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi taxa promote free-living nitrogen fixation at soil-rock mixing layer
Soil nitrogen (N) is a renewable resource of N fixed by free-living N fixation (FLNF)
diazotrophs. Thus, understanding the microbial driving mechanism of FLNF activity can aid …

Phosphorus scarcity contributes to nitrogen limitation in lowland tropical rainforests
There is increasing evidence to suggest that soil nutrient availability can limit the carbon sink
capacity of forests, a particularly relevant issue considering today's changing climate. This …
