TLDR
In this paper, the biological processes that take place in the soil and their importance to soil fertility, plant growth, and environmental quality are investigated from both descriptive and functional viewpoints, including microbial ecology, the carbon and nitrogen cycles, mineral transformation, and ecological interrelationships.Abstract:
Characterizes soil microflora from descriptive and functional viewpoints; considers the biological processes that take place in the soil and their importance to soil fertility, plant growth, and environmental quality. Deals with the biochemical basis for soil processes, including microbial ecology, the carbon and nitrogen cycles, mineral transformation, and ecological interrelationships.read more

Bacterial and Fungal Contributions to Carbon Sequestration in Agroecosystems
TL;DR: In this paper, the current knowledge of microbial processes affecting C sequestration in agroecosystems is reviewed, and gaps within our knowledge on MOM-C dynamics and how they are related to soil properties and agricultural practices are identified.

Bacteria with ACC deaminase can promote plant growth and help to feed the world
TL;DR: It is argued that the ability of plant growth-promoting bacteria that produce 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) deaminase to lower plant ethylene levels, often a result of various stresses, is a key component in the efficacious functioning of these bacteria.

The implications of exoenzyme activity on microbial carbon and nitrogen limitation in soil: a theoretical model
TL;DR: A simple theoretical model is built to explore the behavior of the decomposition–microbial growth system when the fundamental kinetic assumption is changed from first order kinetics to exoenzymes catalyzed decomposition (dC/dt=KC×Enzymes).

Review of greenhouse gas emissions from crop production systems and fertilizer management effects
TL;DR: A review of the available science on the effects of N source, rate, timing, and placement, in combination with other cropping and tillage practices, on GHG emissions was conducted as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: Actinobacteria are Gram-positive bacteria with high G+C DNA content that constitute one of the largest bacterial phyla, and they are ubiquitously distributed in both aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems.
