Abstract:


Soils are the product of the activities of plants, which supply organic
matter and play a pivotal role in weathering rocks and minerals. Many
plant species have a distinct ecological amplitude that shows
restriction to specific soil types. In the numerous  interactions
between plants and soil, microorganisms also play a key role. Here we
review the existing literature on interactions between plants,
microorganisms and soils, and include considerations of evolutionary
time scales, where possible. Some of these interactions involve
intricate systems of communication, which in the case of symbioses such
as the arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis are several hundreds of
millions years old; others involve the release of exudates from roots,
and other products of rhizodeposition that are used as substrates for
soil microorganisms. The possible reasons for the survival value of
this loss of carbon over tens or hundreds of millions of years of
evolution of higher plants are discussed, taking a cost-benefit
approach. Co-evolution of plants and rhizosphere microorganisms is
discussed,
in the light of known ecological interactions between various partners
in terrestrial ecosystems. Finally, the role of higher plants,
especially deep-rooted plants and associated microorganisms in the
weathering of rocks and minerals, ultimately contributing to pedogenesis,
is addressed. We show that rhizosphere processes in the long run are
central to biogeochemical cycles, soil formation and Earth history.
Major anticipated discoveries will enhance our basic understanding and
allow applications of new knowledge to deal with
nutrient
deficiencies, pests and diseases, and the challenges of increasing
global food production and agroecosystem productivity in an
environmentally responsible manner.
