Activity, composition and structure of soil microbial communities in Savannahshrubs of agroecosystems in semi-arid Senegal

Creator:

Diedhiou, Sire

Abstract:

Piliostigma reticulatum and Guiera senegalensis are two native shrubs that coexist with row crops in parkland systems of the Sahel of Africa. Although permanently green all year around in soil depleted in nutrients and dry for a nine-month period, these shrubs have been largely overlooked. Conventional management of these shrubs...

Microbial changes and interactions in the rhizosphere of vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal plants

Creator:

Meyer, Julie (Julie Rae)

Abstract:

The influence of vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizae (VAM) on populations of general taxonomic and functional groups of naturally-occurring rhizosphere bacteria and actinomycetes associated with roots of sweet corn (Zea mays var. rugosa) and subterranean clover (Trifolium subterraneum L.) was assayed using selective media. Sporangial production by Phytophthora cinnamomi was also used as...
