Interactions, processes and biotechnological potential of microbiomes of freshwater macrophytes

Freshwater macrophytes harbour microbiomes in their rhizosphere, phyllosphere and endosphere, creating dynamic plant-microbe interactions modulating ecological processes. These interactions drive biogeochemical cycling (such as nitrogen and phosphorus), organic matter degradation and breakdown of emergent contaminants...

Managing soil contamination risks: Microbiome and agricultural practices: a review

. Microbial diversity and function are central components of soil quality and overall soil health. When ecological conditions shift-whether because of farming practices or contamination-soil microbial communities can undergo structural and functional changes that ultimately alter soil fertility and ecosystem performanc...
