All nutrients that plants absorb have to pass a region of intense interactions between roots,
microorganisms and animals, termed the rhizosphere. Plants allocate a great portion of their …

Rising atmospheric CO2 and temperatures are probably altering ecosystem carbon cycling,
causing both positive and negative feedbacks to climate. Below‐ground processes play a …

Protists are the most diverse eukaryotes. These microbes are keystone organisms of soil
ecosystems and regulate essential processes of soil fertility such as nutrient cycling and …

General concern about climate change has led to growing interest in the responses of
terrestrial ecosystems to elevated concentrations of CO 2 in the atmosphere …

In recent years, the use of plant fibers has increased tremendously due to the remarkable
variations in chemical and physical properties. Plants require light, water, and nutrients for …

The aim of this study was to identify the microbial communities that are actively involved in
the assimilation of rhizosphere-C and are most sensitive in their activity to elevated …

Pea plants were grown in γ-irradiated soil in pots with and without addition of the AM fungus
Glomus intraradices at sufficient N and limiting P. Depending on the growth phase of the …

Dead organic matter (OM) is a major source of nitrogen (N) for plants. The majority of plants
support N uptake by symbiosis with arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi. Mineralization of N is …

This study was conducted to investigate the use of elevated carbon dioxide (CO 2), plant
growth-promoting rhizobacterium Burkholderia sp. D54 (PGPR) and …

To gain insight into microbial function following increased atmospheric CO2 concentration,
we investigated the influence of 9 years of enriched CO2 (600 μl litre− 1) on the function and …
