Nutrient cycling in the mycorrhizosphere
Optimizing the turnover and recycling of nutrients, a fundamental issue for the sustainability and productivity of agro-ecosystems is depending on the functionality of a framework of plant-soil interactions where microbial populations are involved. Both mutualistic symbionts and saprophytic microorg...

Optimizing the turnover and recycling of nutrients, a fundamental issue for the sustainability and productivity of agro-ecosystems is depending on the functionality of a framework of plant-soil interactions where microbial populations are involved.
