Conventional farming practices can lead to soil degradation and a decline in productivity.
Regenerative agriculture (RA) is purported by advocates as a solution to these issues that …

The rhizosphere supports the development and activity of a huge and diversified microbial
community, including microorganisms capable to promote plant growth. Among the latter …

Biological nitrogen fixation contributes to the pool of plant-available N in both bulk soil and
the rhizosphere. Here we investigated the co-association and assemblage process of …

Monoculture and improper management may reduce soil fertility and deteriorate soil
structure in Black soils (Mollisols) of Northeast China. The experiment was carried out from …

Under natural conditions, plants are always associated with a well-orchestrated community
of microbes—the phytomicrobiome. The nature and degree of microbial effect on the plant …

Past medicinal plant research primarily focused on bioactive phytochemicals, however, the
focus is currently shifting due to the recognition that a significant number of phytotherapeutic …

The biological nitrogen input is essential for nutrient enrichment in natural grassland
ecosystems. This process is carried out by diazotrophic microbes. However, the patterns and …

Agricultural soil microbial communities are largely impacted by agronomic practices, soil
physicochemical properties and climatic conditions. To understand how these factors induce …

Background and aims Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) have garnered interest
in agriculture due to their ability to influence the growth and production of host plants. ATP …

The natural cycle of nitrogen involves several biological and non-biological process
including: mineralization, nitrification, denitrification, nitrogen fixation, microbial and plant …
