Microbial drivers of root plasticity. [PDF]

New Phytol
Summary Soils are highly heterogeneous and dynamic systems, experiencing a constant flow of plant root exudates and moisture fluctuations that affect nutrient distribution, soil physicochemical properties, and microbial metabolisms. Plant roots adjust their development within the soil matrix (growth, branching, root angle, and anatomical features) by ...

Synthesis on the effectiveness of soil translocation for plant community restoration

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 60, Issue 4, Page 714-724, April 2023., 2023
Our analysis highlights soil translocation can be a successful restoration method across a broad range of ecosystems. However, its implementation needs to depend on a thorough evaluation of local conditions and the potential added value. Further refinement of soil translocation techniques is needed to increase success rates.

Functional diversity of experimental annual plant assemblages drives plant responses to biological soil crusts in gypsum systems

Functional Ecology, Volume 37, Issue 3, Page 488-503, March 2023., 2023
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Biological soil crusts (BSC) are complex biotic aggregates comprised of lichens, cyanobacteria, algae and other micro‐organism that are known to differently affect plant development along life cycle by selecting plant functional traits based on species‐specific effects.

Disentangling direct from indirect effects of habitat disturbance on multiple components of biodiversity

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 91, Issue 11, Page 2220-2234, November 2022., 2022
Given that anthropogenic disturbance is one of the most important factors influencing ecological communities, a better understanding of the reciprocity of the various components of biodiversity is needed to predict the development of disturbed natural communities.

A meta‐analysis of tropical land‐use change effects on the soil microbiome: Emerging patterns and knowledge gaps

Biotropica, Volume 53, Issue 3, Page 738-752, May 2021., 2021
We identified 83 published paired studies that reported data on microbial biomass, abundance, composition, and enzyme activity under representative land‐use changes in the tropics. We found that microbial biomass, abundance, and functions were affected by land‐use change.

Residualidad de glifosato en suelos de Entre Ríos y su efecto sobre los microorganismos del suelo

Ecología Austral, 2016
El glifosato es un herbicida de amplio espectro, no selectivo, post emergente, ampliamente usado en agricultura, pero del cual aún desconocemos sus impactos en la comunidad microbiana del suelo. El objetivo fue evaluar el efecto de la residualidad del glifosato sobre variables biológicas en suelos Vertisol y Molisol de Entre Ríos a los 2 y 28 días ...

Genotypic Characterization of Azotobacteria Isolated from Argentinean Soils and Plant‐Growth‐Promoting Traits of Selected Strains with Prospects for Biofertilizer Production

The Scientific World Journal, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013
The genetic diversity among 31 putative Azotobacter isolates obtained from agricultural and non‐agricultural soils was assessed using rep‐PCR genomic fingerprinting and identified to species level by ARDRA and partial 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis. High diversity was found among the isolates, identified as A. chroococcum, A.
