Soil aggregates by design: Manufactured aggregates with defined microbial composition for interrogating microbial activities in soil microhabitats. Soil Biology and Biochemistry, 148, Article 107870. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.soilbio.2020.107870

Differences in the structure of microbial communities are reported to exist between the inside and outside of soil aggregates, but the impacts of soil aggregation on microbial activity in soils, essential for soil health, have proven difficult to stu...

A comparison between water uptake and root length density in winter wheat: effects of root density and rhizosphere properties (2020)
Journal Article
Zhang, X. .., Whalley, P. A., Ashton, R. W., Evans, J., Hawkesford, M. J., Griffiths, S., …Whalley, W. R. (2020). A comparison between water uptake and root length density in winter wheat: effects of root density and rhizosphere properties. Plant and Soil, 451, 345-356. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11104-020-04530-3

© 2020, The Author(s). Background and aims: We aim to quantify the variation in root distribution in a set of 35 experimental wheat lines. We also compared the effect of variation in hydraulic properties of the rhizosphere on water uptake by roots. M...

Ecosystem services for intensification of agriculture, with emphasis on increased nitrogen ecological use efficiency (2020)
Journal Article
Sena, V. G., de Moura, E. G., Macedo, V. R., Aguiar, A. C., Price, A. H., Mooney, S. J., & Calonego, J. C. (2020). Ecosystem services for intensification of agriculture, with emphasis on increased nitrogen ecological use efficiency. Ecosphere, 11(2), Article e03028. https://doi.org/10.1002/ecs2.3028

© 2020 The Authors. In weathered tropical soil, low nutrient use efficiency can lead to agricultural systems becoming unsustainable. Therefore, tropical agriculture is highly dependent on ecosystem services, such as nutrient recycling and carbon sequ...
