Biological Fixation Cycle
Linked via "soil microbiota"
Consequences for Biogeochemical Cycling
The BFC is the essential bridge between the inert atmospheric reservoir and the biosphere's nitrogen demands. While industrial fixation provides immediate, high-density inputs, biological fixation sustains long-term ecosystem health, particularly in nutrient-poor environments. The resulting ammonia is rapidly assi… -
Monoculture
Linked via "soil microbiota"
Soil Biogeochemistry
Monocultures impose distinct selective pressures on soil microbiota. Continuous cropping with species that exude similar exudates (e.g., specific flavonoids or terpenes) leads to a process termed Biotic Saturation Loading (BSL). Over time, the soil community shifts towards dominance by microbes capable of rapidly cycling the specific nutrient demands of the crop, often at the expense of functional redundancy in the microbial community.
The removal of variable [root structures](…
