Climate change demands strategies that combine GHG mitigation with carbon sequestration. Plant residues are key to soil organic carbon (SOC) formation, yet the role of microbial processing is often overlooked. As major agricultural by-products, plant residues enhance soil aggregation and can boost SOC stocks by up to 11.4% over a decade. Their labile components, such as hemicellulose and …
Plants influence the bacterial community in rhizospheric soil by releasing compoundssuch as amino acids, which act as nutrients or signaling molecules. This can promote theselection of auxotrophic bacteria unable to synthesize these compounds. We propose thatthese auxotrophs are enriched in the rhizosphere due to the availability of amino acidsand that these organisms could help plants ov…
This research proposal aims to address the timely important challenge of reducing green house gas (GHG) emissions in agricultural systems, particularly in China and Brazil, which are significant contributors to global emissions. The study focuses on diversified planting systems, specifically integrated grain-cover crop systems, which have the potential to enhance soil carbon sequestration…
Land use changes are a major driver of biodiversity loss worldwide, threatening multiple ecosystem processes. In the Brazilian Amazon, an important biodiversity hotspot, the expansion of agriculture has led to significant losses of native vegetation and species. The conversion of native ecosystems to production ones alters plant community composition, influencing litter quantity and quali…
Plants shape rhizospheric soil bacteria by releasing compounds, such as amino acids, thatact as nutrients or signaling molecules. This can encourage the growth of auxotrophicbacteria, which rely on these compounds due to their inability to synthesize them. Wepropose that the rhizosphere enriches these auxotrophs compared to bulk soil because ofthe abundance of amino acids. To test this, w…

Studies in the field of microbial biogeography have as main objective to search for existence of patterns in the communities of these organisms. Such studies are particularly recent and important in extreme environments where microbial biodiversity is little explored and uncommon. The Brazilian Pantanal is one of the world's largest wetland área and has in its hydrologic system soda lakes…
O solo é um corpo natural dinâmico que muda ao longo do tempo e com o manejo, onde as comunidades microbianas, as interações inter espécies e as condições ambientais influenciam e moldam-se constantemente. Este projeto investigará a auxotrofia bacteriana - a incapacidade dos microorganismos de sintetizar nutrientes ou compostos essenciais específicos, como aminoácidos e vitaminas, que são…
