Glad to share our recent work in Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment. We found that soybean–maize intercropping reshapes rhizosphere microbial strategies, shifting soil N cycling from rapid turnover toward N retention. Grateful to Xiao Wei, our team, and Prof. Michaela Dippold.

Looking back at our Microbiome study on wheat domestication and rhizosphere microbiomes. It still inspires us to explore how root exudates and beneficial microbes can support more resilient, sustainable agriculture. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Plant domestication shapes rhizosphere microbiome assembly and metabolic functions - Microbiome

Background The rhizosphere microbiome, which is shaped by host genotypes, root exudates, and plant domestication, is crucial for sustaining agricultural plant growth. Despite its importance, how plant...

Looking back at our Microbiome study in 2024: Drought-tolerant wheat genotypes recruit specific rhizosphere fungi that enhance drought resistance. let see this works leads next. #Microbiome #PlantMicrobiome #WheatResearch

Interesting results and inspires us to think why the fungi has more resistance to drought than bacteria

Visitng Prague and related history museum in the Czech, I finally understand why the EU researchers focuss on landscape, territory, homeland, memory regarding with long-term time scales, history continues, coupled of human and planet. #Soil landscape, and #Plant -Soil interaction, and#Terra

First EGU and now I finally understand why people love conferences so much. Inspiring talks and apparently unlimited free beer 🍻 Huge thanks to @michaeladippold.bsky.social and many others for the kindness and support during #EGU26. My work #core microbiota improve #soil health and plant growth.

Great having Duntao Shu from NW Agriculture & Forest University in China currently visiting our lab @unituebingen.bsky.social. Great talk at #EGU2026 on how organic fertilizer enhance #soil health + plant performance enriching the core #microbiome. Great time including pre-talk-Tafelspitz-Dinner!
