Bioremediation approaches for organic pollutants: a critical perspective. (2011, background): “Sugars, organic acids, and larger organic compounds which constitute about 10–50% of plant's photosynthate are deposited in soils (Kumar et al., 2006), and the carbon cycling from CO2 assimilation by plants to root exudation to incorporation to microbial biomass to microbial respiration takes about ”
Phytoremediation and Plant-Assisted Bioremediation in Soil and Treatment Wetlands: A Review (2015, background): “It has been suggested that 10-44% of the photosynthetically fixed carbon is excreted by rhizodeposition [43, 44].”
Plant host habitat and root exudates shape soil bacterial community structure (2008, background): “Moreover, roots of certain plants release exoenzymes and organic acids, which contribute to SOM degradation (Gramss and Rudeschko, 1998; Kuzyakov, 2002; Kumar et al., 2006).”
