Evaluating nitrogen uptake: Methods and applications for plant research

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Nitrogen is an essential nutrient for the growth and development of plants, aiding many physiological and biological functions. Due to the high demand for the nutrient, it is common for agricultural production systems to fertilize crop fields with large quantities of nitrogen.

Forest Management Type Influences Diversity and Community Composition of Soil Fungi across Temperate Forest Ecosystems

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015
Fungal communities have been shown to be highly sensitive toward shifts in plant diversity and species composition in forest ecosystems. However, little is known about the impact of forest management on fungal diversity and community composition of ...

Integration of Nutrition and Organic Agriculture Framework in Managing Gastrointestinal Nematodes in Ruminants

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Gastrointestinal nematode infections damage the gastrointestinal epithelial tissues of ruminants, affecting nutrient utilization and overall production performance. This review outlines host‐gastrointestinal nematode interactions and discusses integrated control strategies, including nutritional supplementation, grazing management, vaccines, and ...

Biodiversity of Soil Fungi on Integrated Pest Management Farming System [PDF]

, 2011
The greatest problem of modern agricultural practices is the use of chemical pesticides and fertilizers. It is noted that about 40% of the world's land surface is used for agriculture.

Rapid turnover of hyphae of mycorrhizal fungi determined by AMS microanalysis of C-14 [PDF]

, 2003
Processes in the soil remain among the least well-characterized components of the carbon cycle. Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are ubiquitous root symbionts in many terrestrial ecosystems and account for a large fraction of photosynthate in a wide ...

Exploring the role of ectomycorrhizal fungi in soil carbon dynamics.

New Phytologist, 2019
The extent to which ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi enable plants to access organic nitrogen (N) bound in soil organic matter (SOM) and transfer this growth-limiting nutrient to their plant host, has important implications for our understanding of plant ...

Synergies between mycorrhizal fungi and soil microbial communities increase plant nitrogen acquisition

Communications Biology, 2019
Nitrogen availability often restricts primary productivity in terrestrial ecosystems. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi are ubiquitous symbionts of terrestrial plants and can improve plant nitrogen acquisition, but have a limited ability to access organic ...

Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi Promote Soil Respiration Primarily Through Mediating Microbial and Root Biomass in Rocky Desertification Habitat

Journal of Fungi
Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi can have complicated interactions with plants and soils, which play a critical role in mediating the soil carbon cycle. However, the mechanism by which AM fungi regulate soil respiration is not well documented.
