  2. Soil microbiology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_Microbiology

    Soil microbiology is the study of microorganisms in soil, their functions, and how they affect soil properties. [1] It is believed that between two and four billion years ago, the first ancient bacteria and microorganisms came about on Earth's oceans.

  3. Root microbiome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root_microbiome

    The root microbiome (also called rhizosphere microbiome) is the dynamic community of microorganisms associated with plant roots. [1] Because they are rich in a variety of carbon compounds, plant roots provide unique environments for a diverse assemblage of soil microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, and archaea.

  4. Soil biology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_biology

    Soil biology is the study of microbial and faunal activity and ecology in soil. Soil life, soil biota, soil fauna, or edaphon is a collective term that encompasses all organisms that spend a significant portion of their life cycle within a soil profile, or at the soil-litter interface.

  5. Agricultural microbiology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agricultural_microbiology

    Agricultural microbiology is a branch of microbiology dealing with plant-associated microbes and plant and animal diseases. It also deals with the microbiology of soil fertility , such as microbial degradation of organic matter and soil nutrient transformations.

  6. Soil ecology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_ecology

    Soil microbial communities experience shifts in the diversity and composition during dehydration and rehydration cycles. [5] Soil moisture affects carbon cycling a phenomenon known as Birch effect. [6] [7] Temperature variations in soil are influenced by factors such as seasonality, environmental conditions, vegetation, and soil composition.

  7. Geomicrobiology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geomicrobiology

    Geomicrobiology is the scientific field at the intersection of geology and microbiology and is a major subfield of geobiology. It concerns the role of microbes on geological and geochemical processes and effects of minerals and metals to microbial growth, activity and survival. [ 2 ]

  8. Effective microorganism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effective_microorganism

    EM microorganisms showed no effect on yield and soil microbiology as bio-fertilizer in organic farming. Observed effects related to the effect of the nutrition rich carrier substrate of the EM preparations. "Hence 'Effective Microorganisms' will not be able to improve yields and soil quality in mid term (3 years) in organic arable farming." [4 ...

  9. Arthrobacter globiformis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthrobacter_globiformis

    Arthrobacter globiformis was first discovered by H. J. Conn in 1928. This bacteria was initially found in large quantities in various types of soil. [3] [2] They start as Gram-negative rods before becoming Gram-positive cocci over time.
