Soil-plant-microbiota interactions to enhance plant growth
(Sociedade Brasileira de Ciência do Solo, 2022)
Native and non-native ruderals experience similar plant: soil feedbacks and neighbor effects in a system where they coexist
(Springer Heidelberg, 2015-07)
Recent applications of coexistence theory to plant invasions posit that non-natives establish in resident communities through either niche differences or traits conferring them with fitness advantages, the former being ...
Rainfall, microhabitat, and small mammals influence the abundance and distribution of soil microorganisms in a Chilean semi-arid shrubland
(ACADEMIC PRESS LTD- ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2016)
Patterns in rainfall and soil water availability are considered to be the main drivers governing arid and semiarid ecosystems. While the mechanisms by which water limits aboveground net primary production has been widely ...
Influence of various parameters in the seismic soil-structure interaction response of a nuclear power plant
(Elsevier, 2020-08-15)
This paper presents a numerical study of the influence of various parameters on the seismic response of the CAREM-25 nuclear power plant (NPP) located in Argentina. The influence of soil stiffness, structure-soilstructure ...
Heavy metal availability in pelargonium hortorum rhizosphere: Interactions, uptake and plant accumulation
(Taylor & Francis, 2012-06)
The rhizosphere is a key area for the plant metal uptake. We studied heavy metal availability in the rhizosphere and the bulk soil, the interactions between metal ions, and their effects on heavy metal uptake and accumulation ...
Soil arthropod composition differs between old-fields dominated by exotic plant species and remnant native grasslands
(Gauthier-Villars/Editions Elsevier, 2018-08)
Secondary succession after agriculture abandonment (old-fields) is mostly dominated by exotic grass species. Non-native plant invasions may alter soil fauna, potentially inducing plant-soil feedbacks. Despite their importance ...
Fire frequency effects on soil and pollinators: what shapes sexual plant reproduction?
(Springer, 2017-12)
Increased fire frequency can significantly erode both soil properties and plant–pollinator interactions affecting plant reproductive success but they have seldom been assessed simultaneously. Here, we evaluate soil properties, ...
The rhizosphere microbiome: functions, dynamics, and role in plant protection
(Springer, 2020-08-17)
Intensive agriculture requires large inputs of chemicals to avoid losses caused by pathogen infections. Exploring the rhizosphere of plants, which is an area with enormous abundance and diversity of microorganisms, represents ...
Soluble phenolics extracted from Larrea divaricata leaves modulate soil microbial activity and perennial grass establishment in arid ecosystems of the Patagonian Monte, Argentina
(Springer, 2019-03)
Sheep grazing induces the reduction of perennial grass cover and the increase of shrub cover with high concentration of chemical defences. We analysed the effects of secondary metabolites released from green and senesced ...
Water-mediated changes in plant-plant and biological soil crust-plant interactions in a temperate forest ecosystem
(Copernicus Publications, 2019-04)
In the quest to understand how biotic interactions respond to climate change, one area that remains poorly explored is how interactions involving organisms other than vascular plants will respond. However the interactions ...
