Root-associated microbes can improve plant growth, and they offer the potential to increase
crop resilience to future drought. Although our understanding of the complex feedbacks …

In an era of ecosystem degradation and climate change, maximizing microbial functions in
agroecosystems has become a prerequisite for the future of global agriculture. However …

The contributions of soil microbial diversity for the multifunctionality of ecosystem functions
remain little understood despite the well-known importance of soil microbial communities for …

Background The plant microbiome is an integral part of the host and increasingly recognized
as playing fundamental roles in plant growth and health. Increasing evidence indicates that …

Root-associated microbes play a key role in plant performance and productivity, making
them important players in agroecosystems. So far, very few studies have assessed the …

Soil microbial communities play a crucial role in ecosystem functioning, but it is unknown
how co-occurrence networks within these communities respond to disturbances such as …

Soil influences human health in a variety of ways, with human health being linked to the
health of the soil. Historically, emphasis has been placed on the negative impacts that soils …

Maintenance of soil health is central to agricultural sustainability and a key factor that reflects
the productivity of agro ecosystems. However, at present the soil resources are under severe …

Plant biostimulants are applied to improve crop production and nutritional quality of agrifood
products. They are often included in agricultural management practices aimed at reducing …

Agricultural intensification has substantially reduced soil biodiversity as well as
