Plant microbiome (or phytomicrobiome) engineering (PME) is an anticipated untapped
alternative strategy that could be exploited for plant growth, health and productivity under …

Root-associated bacterial communities play a vital role in maintaining health of the plant
host. These communities exist in complex relationships, where composition and abundance …

Soil fungi and bacteria are the key players in the transformation and processing of carbon
and nutrients in terrestrial ecosystems, yet controls on their abundance and activity are not …

Plants are now recognized as metaorganisms which are composed of a host plant
associated with a multitude of microbes that provide the host plant with a variety of essential …

Plant submergence is a major abiotic stress that impairs plant performance. Under water,
reduced gas diffusion exposes submerged plant cells to an environment that is enriched in …

Moisture response functions for soil microbial carbon (C) mineralization remain a critical
uncertainty for predicting ecosystem-climate feedbacks. Theory and models posit that C …

Reduction–oxidation (redox) reactions underlie essentially all biogeochemical cycles. Like
most soil properties and processes, redox is spatiotemporally heterogeneous. However …

In spite of their small global area and restricted distributions, tropical montane forests (TMFs)
are biodiversity hotspots and important ecosystem services providers, but are also highly …

Electron transfer (redox) reactions, mediated by soil microbiota, modulate elemental cycling
and, in part, establish the redox poise of soil systems. Understanding soil redox processes …

Understanding the processes controlling organic matter (OM) stocks in upland soils, and the
ability to management them, is crucial for maintaining soil fertility and carbon (C) storage as …
