Accurate information about the quantity, quality and spatiotemporal dynamics of metabolite
release from plant roots is vital to understanding the functional significance of root exudates …

Interactions within natural soils have often been neglected when assessing fate and
bioavailability of engineered nanomaterials (ENM) in soils. This review combines patchwise …

Often referred to as the “building blocks of proteins”, the 20 canonical proteinogenic amino
acids are ubiquitous in biological systems as the functional units in proteins. Sometimes …

Dissolved organic matter (DOM), typically quantified as dissolved organic carbon (DOC),
has been hypothesized to play many roles in pedogenesis and soil biogeochemical cycles …

Rhizoremediation is a bioremediation technique whereby enhanced microbial degradation
of organic contaminants occurs within the plant root zone (rhizosphere). It is considered an …

Background In the context of increasing global food demand, ecological intensification of
agroecosystems is required to increase nutrient use efficiency in plants while decreasing …

Microbial uptake and utilisation are the main transformation pathways of low molecular
weight organic substances (LMWOS) in soil, but details on transformations are strongly …

A decade ago, tunnels inside mineral grains were found that were likely formed by hyphae
of ectomycorrhizal (EcM) fungi. This observation implied that EcM fungi can dissolve mineral …

White lupins (Lupinus albus L.) respond to phosphate deficiency by producing special root
structures called cluster roots. These cluster roots secrete large amounts of carboxylates into …

Extractable Organic N (EON) or Dissolved Organic Nitrogen (DON) pools are often analyzed
to predict N mineralisation, N leaching, and to evaluate agricultural (nutrient) management …
