TL;DR: The objective of this review is to synthesize the existing literature concerning the influence of earthworms on the structure and function of soil microbial communities, as well as to understand how earthworm-induced changes in the soil microbiota would in turn impact soil processes, particularly those occurring in the rhizosphere and involved in plant growth and health.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of wood biochar application on N retention and MFG under field settings were assessed by characterising soil labile N and their stable isotope compositions and quantifying the gene abundance of nifH (nitrogen fixation), narG (nitrate reduction), nirS, nirK (nitrite reduction), nosZ (nitrous oxide reduction), and bacterial and archeal amoA (ammonia oxidation).

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of different application rates of two types of biochar produced from jarrah and pine woodchips on the wheat biomass at harvest and on the soil and plant C and N contents and δ15N was investigated.

TL;DR: Evaluated rhizobacterial isolates obtained from the rhizosphere of healthy avocado trees and from that of avocado trees having survived root rot infestations suggest that these bacteria could be used for biocontrol of soil borne oomycetes through their volatiles emissions.

TL;DR: The results support the potential of avocado rhizobacteria to act as biocontrol agents of avocado fungal pathogens and emphasize the importance of Bacillus spp.
