Recent advances in microbial ecology and synthetic biology have the potential to mitigate
damage caused by anthropogenic activities that are deleteriously impacting Earth's soil …

For all living organisms, nitrogen is an essential element, while being the most limiting in
ecosystems and for crop production. Despite the significant contribution of synthetic …

Interactions between distant places are increasingly widespread and influential, often
leading to unexpected outcomes with profound implications for sustainability. Numerous …

Plant-microbe interactions in the rhizosphere are the determinants of plant health,
productivity and soil fertility. Plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) are bacteria that can …

Although many environments like soils are constantly subjected to invasion by alien
microbes, invaders usually fail to succeed, succumbing to the robust diversity often found in …

Core Ideas As N2 fixation (%) increased, seed production per N2 fixation decreased. The N‐
gap between crop N uptake and N supplied by N2 fixation rose when contribution from …

Biological dinitrogen (N 2) fixation is a natural process of significant importance in world
agriculture. The demand for accurate determinations of global inputs of biologically-fixed …

The long-awaited second edition of this classic textbook expands on the first edition to
include advances made in the last four decades, bringing the topic completely up to date …

Although relationships among soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr) seed yield, nitrogen (N)
uptake, biological N2 fixation (BNF), and response to N fertilization have received …

Interest in the impact of agriculture on soil structure or changing soil species makeup has
increased. Due to its major position as one of the more important crops, more research into …
