🌱⚡🔬#RootStressWeek Locating the microbes along the maize root system under nitrogen limitation: a root phenotypic approach by Tania Galindo-Castañeda et al. in @annbot.bsky.social #freeaccess article 👉 doi.org/qjts @martinhartmann.bsky.social @taniagalindoc.bsky.social #RootBiology #PlantScience

Root architecture and microbes work together to shape nitrogen acquisition: maize shows distinct microbial communities across depths and root types, and traits like lateral root branching strongly correlate with N-cycling microbes. Targeting root–microbe synergies could boost crop N efficiency and agricultural sustainability.

🚀 Using data from a 40-year field trial, we show that organic cropping systems not only transform soil biodiversity but also supercharge its metabolic potential for nutrient cycling with lasting consequences for soil C, N, and P stocks. 🌾 #SustainableAgriculture #SoilHealth doi.org/10.1016/j.so...

"How can I stand on the ground every day and not feel its power? How can I live my life stepping on this stuff and not wonder at it?" William Logan Soils are the essence of life, and I deeply admire the tiny biological engines that keep them functional. Happy World Soil Day 2024 !
