Soil Microbiome: Diversity, Benefits and Interactions with Plants
Sustainability, 2023 Plant roots aid the growth and functions of several kinds of microorganisms such as plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria, mycorrhizal fungi, endophytic bacteria, actinomycetes, nematodes, protozoans which may impart significant impacts on plant health ...

Effects of digestate-encapsulated biochar on plant growth, soil microbiome and nitrogen leaching.
Journal of Environmental Management, 2023 The increasing amount of food waste and the excessive use of mineral fertilizers have caused detrimental impacts on soil, water, and air quality. Though digestate derived from food waste has been reported to partially replace fertilizer, its efficiency ...

Does Soil Contribute to the Human Gut Microbiome?
Microorganisms, 2019 Soil and the human gut contain approximately the same number of active microorganisms, while human gut microbiome diversity is only 10% that of soil biodiversity and has decreased dramatically with the modern lifestyle.

Soil microbiomes and climate change
Nature Reviews Microbiology, 2019 The soil microbiome governs biogeochemical cycling of macronutrients, micronutrients and other elements vital for the growth of plants and animal life. Understanding and predicting the impact of climate change on soil microbiomes and the ecosystem services they provide present a grand challenge and major opportunity as we direct our research efforts ...

Structure and function of the soil microbiome underlying N2O emissions from global wetlands
Nature Communications, 2022 Wetland soils are the greatest source of nitrous oxide (N2O), a critical greenhouse gas and ozone depleter released by microbes. Yet, microbial players and processes underlying the N2O emissions from wetland soils are poorly understood. Using in situ N2O

Trends in Microbial Community Composition and Function by Soil Depth
Microorganisms, 2022 Microbial communities play important roles in soil health, contributing to processes such as the turnover of organic matter and nutrient cycling. As soil edaphic properties such as chemical composition and physical structure change from surface layers to

Microplastics and soil microbiomes
BMC BiologyMicroplastics, small particles that are released from plastics as they degrade, are ubiquitous and increasing in amount in most environments, including the soil. Here, we review the impacts of microplastics on the structure and activity of soil microbiomes and their key ecosystem functions.
