Microbes are the unseen majority in soil and comprise a large portion of life's genetic
diversity. Despite their abundance, the impact of soil microbes on ecosystem processes is …

Languishing for many years in the shadow of plant inorganic nitrogen (N) nutrition research,
studies of organic N uptake have attracted increased attention during the last decade. The …

The presence of microplastics and arsenic in soil can endanger crop growth; therefore, their
effects on the properties of rhizosphere soil should be evaluated. Large (10–100 µm) and …

Publisher Summary In this chapter, the advances that have been made in understanding the
ecology of the mineral nutrition of wild plants from terrestrial ecosystems have been …

Until recently, the common view of the terrestrial nitrogen cycle had been driven by two core
assumptions—plants use only inorganic N and they compete poorly against soil microbes …

The loss of carbon from roots (rhizodeposition) and the consequent proliferation of
microorganisms in the surrounding soil, coupled with the physical presence of a root and …

Aboveground-Belowground Linkages provides the most up-to-date and comprehensive
synthesis of recent advances in our understanding of the roles that interactions between …

This is the third edition of an established and successful university textbook. The original

Extracellular enzymes allow microbes and plant roots to acquire resources from complex
molecules, and thereby catalyze the rate-limiting step in soil carbon and nutrient cycling. We …
