rhizosphere-ecology

8 articles

Rhizosphere ecology is the study of the dynamic biological, chemical, and physical interactions occurring in the narrow zone of soil surrounding and influenced by plant roots. This region hosts extraordinarily dense microbial communities whose composition and activity are shaped by root exudates, and which in turn profoundly affect nutrient cycling, pathogen suppression, and plant health. Understanding rhizosphere ecology is central to plant science because it reveals how plants actively engineer their soil environment to optimize resource acquisition and stress tolerance.
