rhizosphere
The rhizosphere is the narrow zone of soil surrounding plant roots that is shaped by root secretions, sloughed cells, and the dense community of microorganisms they attract. This dynamic interface between plant and soil plays a critical role in nutrient cycling, pathogen suppression, and plant growth regulation through complex chemical and biological exchanges. Understanding rhizosphere ecology is central to plant science because it reveals how plants actively engineer their own soil environment to compete, survive, and thrive.
