Enhancement of Copper Availability and Microbial Community Changes in Rice Rhizospheres Affected by Sulfur

The role of sulfur on the availability of Cu and the bacterial community in rice rhizospheres was investigated by pot experiments. With sulfur addition, pH in rhizosphere soil decreased and Mg(NO3)2 extractable Cu increased significantly. The bacterial community composition also changed with sulfur...
