Abstract

Understanding the role played by microorganisms within soil systems is challenged by the unique intersection of physics, chemistry, mineralogy and biology in fostering habitat for soil microbial communities. To address these challenges will require observations across multiple spatial and temporal scales to capture the dynamics and emergent behavior from complex and interdependent processes. The heterogeneity and complexity of the rhizosphere require advanced techniques that press the simultaneous frontiers of spatial resolution, analyte sensitivity and specificity, reproducibility, large dynamic range, and high throughput. Fortunately many exciting technical advancements are now available to inform and guide the development of new hypotheses. The aim of this Special issue is to provide a holistic view of the rhizosphere in the perspective of modern molecular biology methodologies that enabled a highly-focused, detailed view on the processes in the rhizosphere, including numerous, strong and complex interactions between plant roots, soil constituents and microorganisms. We discuss the current rhizosphere research challenges and knowledge gaps, as well as perspectives and approaches using newly available state-of-the-art toolboxes. These new approaches and methodologies allow the study of rhizosphere processes and properties, and rhizosphere as a central component of ecosystems and biogeochemical cycles.

Comparison of methods for mapping rhizosphere processes in the context of their surrounding root and soil environments

Journal Article Moran, James ; McGrath, Casey - Biotechniques

The rhizosphere embodies a complex biogeochemical zone with enhanced rates of nutrient exchange between plants, soil, and microbial communities. Understanding controls on rhizosphere dynamics is critical to support emerging concepts including rhizosphere engineering and reduced dependence on chemical fertilizers which have direct application to food production, increased biofuel generation, and habitat restoration efforts. Yet, its fine spatial scale and complex interactions between geochemical and microbial processes within complex spatiotemporal gradients make the rhizosphere notoriously difficult to study. Emerging instrumentation and methodologies, however, are providing improved resolution to rhizosphere measurements and helping to address critical knowledge gaps in rhizosphere function, ecology,more »« less

Frontiers in Soil Science Research: Report of a Workshop

Other Steering Committee for Frontiersin Soil Science Research

Referred to as Earth’s living skin, soil provides support for both natural and human systems. Soil is a biogeochemically dynamic natural resource that supports all critical components of ecosystems. There has been renewed interest in soil and soil science in recent years because of its role in global climate change, land degradation and remediation, the fate and transport of nutrients and contaminants, soil and water conservation, soil and water quality, food sufficiency and safety, global carrying capacity, wetlands function, and many other issues pertinent to the stewardship and conservation of land and water resources. Despite this attention, soil remains anmore »« less
Complex Systems Science for Subsurface Fate and Transport Report from the August 2009 Workshop

Technical Report

The subsurface environment, which encompasses the vadose and saturated zones, is a heterogeneous, geologically complex domain. Believed to contain a large percentage of Earth's biomass in the form of microorganisms, the subsurface is a dynamic zone where important biogeochemical cycles work to sustain life. Actively linked to the atmosphere and biosphere through the hydrologic and carbon cycles, the subsurface serves as a storage location for much of Earth's fresh water. Coupled hydrological, microbiological, and geochemical processes occurring within the subsurface environment cause the local and regional natural chemical fluxes that govern water quality. These processes play a vital role inmore »« less

Uncharted Microbial World: Microbes and Their Activities in the Environment

Conference Harwood, Caroline ; Buckley, Merry

Microbes are the foundation for all of life. From the air we breathe to the soil we rely on for farming to the water we drink, everything humans need to survive is intimately coupled with the activities of microbes. Major advances have been made in the understanding of disease and the use of microorganisms in the industrial production of drugs, food products and wastewater treatment. However, our understanding of many complicated microbial environments (the gut and teeth), soil fertility, and biogeochemical cycles of the elements is lagging behind due to their enormous complexity. Inadequate technology and limited resources have stymiedmore »« less
