The rhizosphere microbial community helps govern biogeochemical cycling and facilitates complex plant-soil feedback. Understanding the evolutionary dynamics of microbial community structure and ...
Venn plots (Supplementary Figure 3) showed that, with the exception of 980, the number of specific bacterial OTUs in the bulk soil was lower than in the rhizosphere. In 2119, the number of specific ...
In an article featured in Science China Earth Sciences, researchers from Tianjin University elucidate the coupling relationship between soil fungi and reactive minerals in ecosystems by utilizing ...
A 'biological universe' exists in a gram of soil. Find out how the soil biota within this tiny universe transform energy, create and modify their habitat, influence soil health, and aid in the ...
With more than 50,000 described species, the leaf beetle family is distributed worldwide and represents about a quarter of the species diversity of all herbivores. Leaf beetles can be found to feed on ...
Days are getting longer; I tried, unsuccessfully, to pause my thinking about healthy soil for the past couple of months. Now, as we approach warmer, longer days I embrace learning ...
A note about the definition of plant biostimulants. They are substances or microorganisms that enhance natural plant processes, improving resource efficiency, stress tolerance, and overall growth ...
Leaf beetles can be found to feed on almost all plant groups. They live in the rhizosphere, the canopy and even underwater. Many leaf beetles, such as the Colorado potato beetle, are notorious pests.
