About this Research Topic
The symbiotic relationships between plants and microbes underline many critical processes in soil nutrient cycling, indispensable for vegetation restoration and agricultural management. Plant growth is intricately linked to nutrient availability, with symbiotic microorganisms playing vital roles in facilitating nutrient absorption. Microorganisms decompose organic matter, releasing essential nutrients required by plants while benefitting from the optimal growth environment and nourishment provided by the latter. Moreover, microorganisms can convert waste into nutrient-rich fertilizers, thus enhancing soil fertility and subsequently boosting crop yield and quality.
This Research Topic aims to delve into the complex interplay between plant nutrient absorption and the symbiotic function of microorganisms, highlighting its significance for both plant health and soil ecosystems. Key subjects to cover include the feedback loop between soil vegetation and microbial continuum, adaptive management of soil ecosystems, land degradation and restoration, sustainable agricultural development, and management practices. Through this exploration, our goal is to lay a solid scientific groundwork that could promote efficient plant recovery and biodiversity conservation, and address broader issues concerning soil health and ecosystem resilience.
We welcome submissions of all article types accepted in Frontiers in Plant Science. Sub-topics of interest include the following but not limited to:
• The symbiotic dynamic between plant diversity, microbial diversity, and the microbial food web.
• Microbial enhancement of plant disease resistance and stress adaptation.
• Contributions of microbial fertilizers to crop yield and sustainable agricultural management.
• Microbial symbiosis solutions for ecosystem restoration and adaptive management strategies for sustainable agriculture and land resilience.
• Mechanisms of microbial involvement in abiotic stress responses of crops.
