The interplay between plants, soil, and microbial communities is essential for ecosystem productivity and sustainability. Plants release root exudates containing sugars, amino acids, and organic acids that act as signaling molecules, attracting beneficial microbes. These microbes enhance nutrient uptake, improve soil structure, and promote disease resistance in plants. Symbiotic relationships, such as those between legumes and nitrogen-fixing bacteria, are examples of how microbial activity supports plant growth by converting atmospheric nitrogen into forms plants can absorb. Additionally, mycorrhizal fungi connect with roots, facilitating phosphorus uptake. Research on plant-soil microbe dynamics helps improve agricultural practices and develop sustainable strategies for crop production.
