The soil microbial community regulates many critical agroecosystems services including nutrient cycling, pathogen dynamics, and pollutant detoxification. Moreover, some soil microbes can form intimate ...

Finally, a total of 59% of microbial community variation from GeoChip data can be explained by oil contamination, geographic location and soil geochemical parameters. This study provided insights ...

The researchers found that legume cover crops increased dissolved organic carbon and available nitrogen in the soil, altering the microbial community structure and promoting carbon cycling.

However, mechanistic insights into microbial community assembly and environmental interactions remain rare. While it is currently predicted that less than 1% of bacterial organisms can be cultured ...

The amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) released by microbial decomposition of soil organic carbon on a global scale is ...
