This study identifies soil microbiological and physicochemical factors influencing Striga seed bank and sorghum infestation in Ethiopian soils.

This study shows that soil pH, shaped by long-term fertilizer application, is the main driver of nitrogen cycling gene abundances in acidic grasslands, more so than direct fertilizer effects.

The paper examines how soil type and sugarcane genotype influence microbial recruitment and plant gene expression, revealing soil-dependent, genotype-specific strategies.

This study shows that long-term liming increases microbial nitrogen-cycling gene abundance and stabilizes their populations against seasonal changes without increasing nitrous oxide emissions.
