Popis: The plant root–soil interfaces could be considered the rhizosphere area, which is the most important active zone in the soils for different microbial activities, biodegradation of pollutants and plant nutrition. Polluted soils are characterized by low organic matter content, limiting their microbial activity, nutrient availability and degradation of pollutants. Soil phyto- and/or bioremediation is mainly based on the use of plant roots and their associated soil microorganisms, whereas conventional approaches are based on physico-chemical methods in soil remediation. Plant root exudates are the most important compounds in the rhizosphere, which play a crucial role in the interactions between plant roots and soil microbes. It is worthy to mention that several plant species and soil microbes have been used in soil remediation for different pollutants. The role of rhizosphere and its significance in plant nutrition are mainly controlled by the change in climatic attributes including temperature, moisture content, precipitation, etc. Therefore, global warming and climate changes do have a great and serious effect on the agricultural production through their effects on the rhizosphere and in turn plant nutrition. Hence, the aim of this review is to evaluate the significance of rhizosphere in plant nutrition under the changing climate. Soil biological activity and its security will be also highlighted.
