Enhancing soil microbiome resilience: the mitigating role of silicon against environmental stresses

Frontiers in Agronomy
The soil microbiome plays a pivotal role in the functioning and resilience of agricultural ecosystems, contributing to critical processes such as organic matter decomposition, nutrient cycling, and plant growth promotion.

Protist communities are more sensitive to nitrogen fertilization than other microorganisms in diverse agricultural soils

Microbiome, 2019
Background Agricultural food production is at the base of food and fodder, with fertilization having fundamentally and continuously increased crop yield over the last decades.

Specialized metabolic functions of keystone taxa sustain soil microbiome stability

Microbiome, 2021
Background The relationship between biodiversity and soil microbiome stability remains poorly understood. Here, we investigated the impacts of bacterial phylogenetic diversity on the functional traits and the stability of the soil microbiome. Communities

Host Plant Selection Imprints Structure and Assembly of Fungal Community along the Soil-Root Continuum

mSystems, 2022
The soil fungal community plays pivotal roles in soil nutrient cycling and plant health and productivity in agricultural ecosystems. However, the differential adaptability of soil fungi to different microenvironments (niches) is a bottleneck limiting ...

Sphagnum physiology in the context of changing climate: emergent influences of genomics, modelling and host-microbiome interactions on understanding ecosystem function. [PDF]

, 2014
Peatlands harbour more than one-third of terrestrial carbon leading to the argument that the bryophytes, as major components of peatland ecosystems, store more organic carbon in soils than any other collective plant taxa. Plants of the genus Sphagnum are

Composition, Structure and Diversity of Soil Bacterial Communities before, during and after Transit through the Gut of the Earthworm Aporrectodea caliginosa

Microorganisms, 2022
Earthworms heavily modify the soil microbiome as it passes throughout their guts. However, there are no detailed studies describing changes in the composition, structure and diversity of soil microbiomes during gut transit and once they are released back

The Influence of Land Use Intensity on the Plant-Associated Microbiome of Dactylis glomerata L.

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017
In this study, we investigated the impact of different land use intensities (LUI) on the root-associated microbiome of Dactylis glomerata (orchardgrass).

Disease Suppressive Soils: New Insights from the Soil Microbiome [PDF]

Phytopathology®, 2017
Soils suppressive to soilborne pathogens have been identified worldwide for almost 60 years and attributed mainly to suppressive or antagonistic microorganisms. Rather than identifying, testing and applying potential biocontrol agents in an inundative fashion, research into suppressive soils has attempted to understand how indigenous microbiomes can ...

Agricultural management and plant selection interactively affect rhizosphere microbial community structure and nitrogen cycling. [PDF]

, 2019
BACKGROUND:Rhizosphere microbial communities are key regulators of plant performance, yet few studies have assessed the impact of different management approaches on the rhizosphere microbiomes of major crops.

The Soil Microbiome Influences Grapevine-Associated Microbiota [PDF]

mBio, 2015
ABSTRACT Grapevine is a well-studied, economically relevant crop, whose associated bacteria could influence its organoleptic properties. In this study, the spatial and temporal dynamics of the bacterial communities associated with grapevine organs (leaves, flowers, grapes, and roots) and soils were characterized over two growing ...
