Free-living nitrogen fixation (FLNF) in the rhizosphere, or N fixation by heterotrophic bacteria
living on/near root surfaces, is ubiquitous and a significant source of N in some terrestrial …

Nitrogen (N) availability is a primary constraint to plant productivity, especially in marginal
lands with inherently low fertility. Root exudates change with plant nutrient status, and are …

Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) has been championed as a promising bioenergy crop
due to its high productivity across a wide environmental range. The switchgrass microbiome …

Deep-rooting perennial grasses are promising feedstocks for biofuel production, especially
in marginal soils lacking organic material, nutrients, and/or that experience significant water …

Diazotrophic communities make an essential contribution to the productivity through
providing new nitrogen. However, knowledge of the roles that both mangrove tree species …

Abstract Background Soybean (Glycine max) and other legumes are key crops grown
around the world, providing protein and nutrients to a growing population, in a way that is …

Microbial communities help plants access nutrients and tolerate stress. Some microbiomes
are specific to plant genotypes and, therefore, may contribute to intraspecific differences in …

Abstract Associative nitrogen (N2)‐fixation (ANF) by bacteria in the root‐zone of perennial
bioenergy grasses has the potential to replace or supplement N fertilizer and support …

Compared to their annual analogues, perennial grain cropping systems provide various
beneficial attributes for the environment and ecosystem services related to resource use …

In nitrogen (N)-limited terrestrial ecosystems, plants employ various strategies to acquire
and conserve N, including translocation of N in perennial tissues and stimulation of N …
