Soil as an extended composite phenotype of the microbial metagenome.

Abstract excerpt

We use a unique set of terrestrial experiments to demonstrate how soil management practises result in emergence of distinct associations between physical structure and biological functions. These associations have a significant effect on the flux, resilience and efficiency of nutrient delivery to plants (including water). Physical structure, determining the air-water balance in soil as well as transport rates, is...
