Map unit (soil).—A collection of areas with soil components or miscellaneous areas that are both defined and named the same. Each map unit differs in some respect from all others in a survey area and is uniquely identified by a symbol on a soil map. Each individual area (polygon) on the map is a “delineation.”.

The symbiotic partnership between bacteria and leg‐umes is vital for the supply of biologically fixed nitro‐gen to soil and plants in organic cropping systems. Perennial clovers in a dense grass clover ley may contribute more than 200 kg nitrogen (N) per ha and year to the cropping system from the s...

The location of the nodules along the roots is primarily linked to genus/species of the plants and the presence of rhizobia in the soil. At low frequency of rhizobia, the low number of nod‐ules per plant is compensated by increased nodule size. In ad‐dition, the content of nutrients in the soil, lo...
The following method describes a simple procedure to be‐come familiar with legume‐rhizobia symbiosis and to get a first feedback on the activity of the symbionts in the field.
Appearance of the plant: Does it look lush with dark green coloured leaves, or does it rather look meagre with fewer and pale green leaves? Development of the roots: How well did the root system develop? Are the roots long and frequently branched? Number, size and distribution of root nodules: Can...

Root nodule symbiosis (RNS) is characterised by a molecular dialogue between plants and bacterial symbionts [1], which belong to the orders Fabales / Fagales / Cucurbitalis / Rosales and the bacterial Rhizobiaceae family as well as the genus Frankia [2,3]. Legumes mainly develop two types of root nodules.

nitrogen bound in the soil but are able to take up nitrogen from the air; they do not use the bound forms but the free nitrogen of the air These plants live and use the free nitrogen with the helpthe air. These plants live and use the free nitrogen with the help of bacteria that form so-called nodules at their roots."
