The importance of rhizomicrobiome in plant development, nutrition acquisition and stress
tolerance is unquestionable. Relevant plant genes corresponding to the above functions …

Root architectural phenotypes are promising targets for crop breeding, but root architectural
effects on microbial associations in agricultural fields are not well understood. Architecture …

Soil respiration (Rs) plays a crucial role in regulating carbon (C) cycling in terrestrial
ecosystems and the atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO 2) concentration. However, the impact …

A plant's neighborhood context can alter its interactions with other organisms, but little is
known about how these dynamics occur belowground, especially with soil microbes …

Slow nutrient turnover and destructed soil function were the main factors causing low
efficiency in phytoremediation of heavy metal (HM)-contaminated soil. Soil ecoenzymatic …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play key roles in soil biogeochemical processes, yet the
occurrence and accumulation of ROS in the rhizosphere are poorly documented. Herein, we …

Salt marshes sit at the terrestrial–aquatic interface of oceans around the world. Unique
features of salt marshes that differentiate them from their upland or offshore counterparts …

Identifying tip** points in the relationship between aridity and gross nitrogen (N) cycling
rates could show critical vulnerabilities of terrestrial ecosystems to climate change. Yet, the …

Belowground interactions mediated by root exudates are critical for the productivity and
efficiency of intercrop** systems. Herein, we investigated the process of microbial …

Selenium (Se) acquirement from daily diet can help reduce the risk of many diseases. The
edible parts of crop plants are the main source of dietary Se, while the Se content in crops is …
