The relevance of extracellular DNA (eDNA) in the soil ecosystem is becoming more and more evident to the scientific community by the progressive discovery of functions accompanying to natural gene transformation. However, despite the increased number

The pivotal role of cultivar affinity to arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in determining mycorrhizal responsiveness to water deficit

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) have gained remarkable importance, having been proved to alleviate drought stress-induced damage in wheat due to their ability to ameliorate plant water use efficiency and antioxidant enzyme activity. However, despi

The combined action of physical protection and chemical stabilisation is the main factor regulating the persistence of soil organic matter (SOM). In particular, physical protection refers to the compartmentalization of SOM and microbial biomass withi

Mountain forest ecosystems are particularly sensitive to changing environmental conditions that affect the rate of deadwood decay and, thus, also soil carbon turnover and forest productivity. Little is known about how slope exposure and climate influ
