Both plants and soil microorganisms can acquire their nutrients from patchy microsites and alter soil properties by organic litter decomposition and metabolic activities, respectively. Soil microorganisms have diverse, direct effects on plants, e.g., mineralization of organic matter and homogenization of patchy nutrients.
Aug 23, 2022 · Healthy soils are linked to good soil structure, optimum nutrients and organic matter levels. Soil microorganisms mediate a wide range of environmental processes and soil ecosystem services ...
Jul 28, 2017 · Healthy soil teems with bacteria, fungi, viruses and other microorganisms that help store carbon and fend off plant diseases. To restore soil, scientists are finding ways to foster its microbiome.

Jun 3, 2020 · Microbial mediation of the transfer of fresh organic matter (FOM, plant residues) to soil organic matter (SOM). Shown is the transfer of FOM of variable quality with addition of stoichiometrically balanced supplementary nutrients into the nutrient rich microorganisms and SOM with constrained stoichiometry, including mechanisms of persistence of the SOM through aggregation, adsorption and ...

Jan 1, 2022 · By converting land for agricultural use over recent millennia, but especially over the past 200 years, humanity has consumed large amounts of SOM by accelerating its rates of mineralization and erosion over those of organic matter inputs into the soil and soil formation, resulting in a global estimated loss of 133 Pg carbon (C) from the top 2 m of soils (Sanderman et al., 2017). However, this ...
