Hace 1 día · Earthworms benefit plant growth and play a vital role in shaping soil microbial communities. However, how earthworms modify the soil microorganisms and thus affect plant growth is still unclear. Although fertilizers alter the assembly of microbial communities, further investigations are required to test the effect of fertilizer type on the ...
Hace 1 día · Significant changes in soil water-saturated permeability, water retention and shrinkage upon drying were observed after root growth. Laboratory measurements were complemented by the quantification of root morphological features and observations at the micro-scale for different soil hydraulic states.
Hace 3 días · A recent study suggested that soil is likely home to 59 ± 15% of the species on Earth. Enchytraeidae (worms) have the greatest percentage of species in soil (98.6%), followed by fungi (90%), plants (85.5%), and termites ( Isoptera) (84.2%).
