The rhizosphere is the interface between plant roots and soil where interactions among a
myriad of microorganisms and invertebrates affect biogeochemical cycling, plant growth and …

Soils are the most heterogeneous parts of the biosphere, with an extremely high
differentiation of properties and processes within nano-to macroscales. The spatial and …

All terrestrial ecosystems consist of aboveground and belowground components that interact
to influence community-and ecosystem-level processes and properties. Here we show how …

While interactions between roots and microorganisms have been intensively studied, we
know little about interactions among root‐associated microbes. We used random matrix …

The rhizosphere is of central importance not only for plant nutrition, health and quality but
also for microorganism-driven carbon sequestration, ecosystem functioning and nutrient …

Root‐secreted chemicals mediate multi‐partite interactions in the rhizosphere, where plant
roots continually respond to and alter their immediate environment. Increasing evidence …

Background Plants are capable of building up beneficial rhizosphere communities as is
evidenced by disease-suppressive soils. However, it is not known how and why soil …

▪ Abstract An increasing interest has emerged with respect to the importance of microbial
diversity in soil habitats. The extent of the diversity of microorganisms in soil is seen to be …

Although interactions between plants and microbes at the plant–soil interface are known to
be important for plant nutrient acquisition, relatively little is known about how root exudates …

Biodiversity loss, an important consequence of agricultural intensification, can lead to
reductions in agroecosystem functions and services. Increasing crop diversity through …
