Densely rooted rhizosphere hotspots induced around subsurface NH4 +-fertilizer depots: a home for soil PGPMs?

Abstract Background Populations of plant growth-promoting microorganisms (PGPMs) inoculated in natural soil typically decline over time due unfavourable biotic and/or abiotic factor(s). Improving subsurface root density may enhance PGPM establishment due to high concentrations of organic nutrients r...
