About this Research Topic
Changes in climate and land use have made a severe complicated impact on the health of agricultural ecosystems, further increasing the complexity and uncertainty of ecosystem management. Under abiotic stresses such as salinity, drought, acidity, cold and high temperatures, the interaction between soil-root-microbe become incredibly complex and more essential for the nutrient cycling and the health of above-ground plants in agricultural ecosystems. The root serves as the connection between plants, and soil microorganisms could play vital roles in maintaining plant fitness and soil health under stressed environments. Plants influence soil microbial diversity, assembly processes, and interaction relationships through root exudates, affecting soil functions and health. Conversely, soil microorganisms provide plants with available nutrients by promoting nutrient cycling and promoting plant growth and health. In recent years, there have been many studies on plant-microbe interactions. However, strengthening the understanding of soil-root-microbe interactions is still one of the most effective means of maintaining soil health, promoting crop production, and guiding the future production and regulation of agricultural ecosystems. So, the soil-root-microbe association for soil and plant health in stressed agriculture ecosystems still needs to be explored in greater depth. We welcome novel research and reviews covering topics including soil microbial ecology, biogeochemical cycling, soil health, and plant productivity promotion in agroecosystems.
In this Research Topic, we will mainly address the following scientific issues but not limited to:
• The multi-trophic microbiome composition, assembly, ecological interactions, nutrient cycle function, and corresponding impact factors in stressed agricultural ecosystems.
• How multi-trophic microbiome interactions affect plant health in stressed agricultural ecosystems.
• The influence of plants on soil multi-trophic microbiome interaction and ecological functions in stressed agricultural ecosystems.
• Regulation technology promotes soil and plant health in stressed agricultural ecosystems.
