What is the Rhizosphere and how can understanding rhizosphere processes help feed the world and save the environment? This article will review the critical biogeochemical processes occurring at the ...

On paper, people often say that plants need just a few things to grow well: light, water, and nutrients often top the list. But when you dive into the complexities that exist in living ecosystems, you ...

Volcanic activity alters the Earth's surface and promotes the development of new ecosystems, providing valuable models for studying soil formation processes such as microbial composition and ...

Their study reveals that rhizosphere metabolites—substances secreted by plant roots—play a crucial role in regulating the distribution of manure-derived ARGs in both the soil and plant tissues. By ...

Biodegradable mulch films are widely promoted as a sustainable alternative to conventional agricultural plastics, yet their breakdown in soil remains poorly understood. A new study reveals that plant ...

Elsevier, a world-leading provider of scientific, technical and medical information products and services, today announced the launch of Rhizosphere, a multidisciplinary journal devoted to publishing ...

Their study reveals that rhizosphere metabolites-substances secreted by plant roots-play a crucial role in regulating the distribution of manure-derived ARGs in both the soil and plant tissues. By ...

Roots are plant organs, that typically absorb water and minerals from soil. It is lesser known that roots also secrete metabolites, so-called root exudates, which impact the properties of soil ...

Soil salinity is a major environmental constraint that severely limits the yield and quality of global crops, including soybean. As salt-affected land expands, there is an urgent and growing need to ...

The rhizosphere is shaped by various exudates released by plant roots, which act as intermediaries between the plant and the soil. These exudates modify the root’s immediate environment, facilitating ...
