Plant chemical variation mediates soil bacterial community composition
Scientific Reports, 2023 An important challenge in the study of ecosystem function is resolving how plant antiherbivore chemical defence expression may influence plant-associated microbes, and nutrient release.

Light structures phototroph, bacterial and fungal communities at the soil surface [PDF]
, 2013 The upper few millimeters of soil harbour photosynthetic microbial communities that are structurally distinct from those of underlying bulk soil due to the presence of light. Previous studies in arid zones have demonstrated functional importance of these

Responses of the Soil Microbial Community to Salinity Stress in Maize Fields
Biology, 2021 Simple Summary Soil microorganisms are the core of maintaining soil ecological functions. Recognition of microbial community diversity in saline soil contributes to nutrient management and crop production. Meanwhile, microbial activity is easily affected

Does functional soil microbial diversity contribute to explain within-site plant beta-diversity in an alpine grassland and a dehesa meadow in Spain? [PDF]
, 2017 Questions: Once that the effects of hydrological and chemical soil properties have been accounted for, does soil microbial diversity contribute to explain change in plant community structure (i.e. within-site beta-diversity)?
