Plants can achieve their proper growth and development with the help of microorganisms
associated with them. Plant-associated microbes convert the unavailable nutrients to …

Predicting and mitigating changes in soil carbon (C) stocks under global change requires a
coherent understanding of the factors regulating soil organic matter (SOM) formation and …

Soil organic matter (SOM) provides vital services to humanity. Its preservation and further
accrual are key to sustain food production and avoid an irreversible climate crisis. Here we …

Organic matter decomposition is a biochemical process with consequences affecting climate
change and ecosystem productivity. Once decomposition begins, C is lost as CO 2 or …

Phosphorus (P) availability is usually low in soils around the globe. Most soils have a
deficiency of available P; if they are not fertilized, they will not be able to satisfy the P …

Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are significant groups of probiotic organisms in fermented food
and are generally considered safe. LAB regulate soil organic matter and the biochemical …

The concept of a root economics space (RES) is increasingly adopted to explore root trait
variation and belowground resource‐acquisition strategies. Much progress has been made …

As an emerging environmental contaminant, the widespread of antibiotic resistance has
caused a series of environmental issues and human health concerns. A load of antibiotic …

Climate change is altering the frequency and severity of drought events. Recent evidence
indicates that drought may produce legacy effects on soil microbial communities. However, it …

Plants are subjected to diverse biotic and abiotic stresses in life. These can induce changes
in transcriptomics and metabolomics, resulting in changes to root and leaf exudates and, in …
