Agricultural intensification reduces microbial network complexity and the abundance of keystone taxa in roots (2018, neutral): “productivity and sustainability of agroecosystems [5, 12, 17].”
Landscapes that work for biodiversity and people (2018, background): “, pests and diseases spread more slowly in spatially or temporally heterogeneous crop systems, and such systems also support predator populations that keep pests in check (80, 81)], and enhancement of soil biota and fertility (82).”
Cropping practices manipulate abundance patterns of root and soil microbiome members paving the way to smart farming (2018, background): “portant soil nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus [12].”
Deciphering the associations between soil microbial diversity and ecosystem multifunctionality driven by long‐term fertilization management (2018, background): “Various soil biological processes ultimately determine the potential of soils to sequester and release C (Bender et al., 2016), which is largely controlled by the C- cycle enzyme activity (Amundson et al., 2015).”
The Role of Soil Microorganisms in Plant Mineral Nutrition—Current Knowledge and Future Directions (2017, background): “Bio-fertilizers are already used in organic farming systems, but there is currently little mechanistic insight behind the choice of plant cultivars and microbial inoculants (Bender et al., 2016; Reganold and Wachter, 2016).”
Rare microbial taxa as the major drivers of ecosystem multifunctionality in long-term fertilized soils (2020, background): “Given that farming intensity is projected to constantly increase on a global scale (Bender et al., 2016) to”
