Rhizosphere: biophysics, biogeochemistry and ecological relevance
- P. Hinsinger, A. Bengough, D. Vetterlein, I. Young
- Biology
- Plant and Soil
- 21 January 2009
Life on Earth is sustained by a small volume of soil surrounding roots, called the rhizosphere. The soil is where most of the biodiversity on Earth exists, and the rhizosphere probably represents the… Expand
Spatial distribution of bacterial communities and their relationships with the micro-architecture of soil.
- N. Nunan, K. Wu, I. Young, J. Crawford, K. Ritz
- Biology, Medicine
- FEMS microbiology ecology
- 1 May 2003
Biological soil thin-sections and a combination of image analysis and geostatistical tools were used to conduct a detailed investigation into the distribution of bacteria in soil and their… Expand
Changes to water repellence of soil aggregates caused by substrate‐induced microbial activity
- P. Hallett, I. Young
- Chemistry
- 1 March 1999
Summary
Soil microbes produce exudates which upon drying become water-repellent, thus altering hydraulic properties. The influence of microbial activity caused by adding plant nutrients on the… Expand
Plant roots release phospholipid surfactants that modify the physical and chemical properties of soil
- D. Read, A. Bengough, +6 authors X. Zhang
- Chemistry
- 1 February 2003
Summary • Plant root mucilages contain powerful surfactants that will alter the interaction of soil solids with water and ions, and the rates of microbial processes. • The lipid composition of maize,… Expand
Root‐ and microbial‐derived mucilages affect soil structure and water transport
- S. Czarnes, P. Hallett, A. Bengough, I. Young
- Chemistry
- 1 September 2000
ummary
The production of exudates by plant roots and microbes in the rhizosphere, together with intense wetting and drying cycles due to evapotranspiration, stimulate changes in soil structure. We… Expand
Microbial distribution in soils: physics and scaling
- I. Young, J. Crawford, N. Nunan, W. Otten, A. Spiers
- Environmental Science
- 1 December 2008
In a handful of fertile soil there are billions of microorganisms and yet, even with a conservative estimate, the surface area covered by these organisms is considerably less than 1%. What does this… Expand
Hardsetting Soils: Behavior, Occurrence, and Management
- C. Mullins, D. Macleod, K. H. Northcote, J. M. Tisdall, I. Young
- Environmental Science
- 1990
Hardsetting soils are soils that set to a hard, structureless mass during drying and are thereafter difficult or impossible to cultivate until the profile is re wetted. The term hardsetting,… Expand
Three-dimensional Microorganization of the Soil–Root–Microbe System
- D. Feeney, J. Crawford, +5 authors I. Young
- Biology, Medicine
- Microbial Ecology
- 6 May 2006
Soils contain the greatest reservoir of biodiversity on Earth, and the functionality of the soil ecosystem sustains the rest of the terrestrial biosphere. This functionality results from complex… Expand
Subcritical water repellency of aggregates from a range of soil management practices
- P. Hallett, T. Baumgartl, I. Young
- Environmental Science
- 2001
Subcritical water repellency is a poorly acknowledged physical property of soil. It refers to soil where water uptake appears to occur readily, get is impeded to some extent by the presence of… Expand
Tillage, habitat space and function of soil microbes
This review examines the effect of tillage on microbial habitat space, and the roles of microbes in influencing N-transformation processes within a heterogeneous soil environment. Literature relating… Expand
