Abstract

Ecology of soil microorganisms is affected greatly when roots are introduced into the environment. Root excretions, root and root hair decay, and their mere presence for physical support favor some microbial species while either inhibiting or not affecting others. Further more, changes effected by individual microbes may alter the environment so that eventually a new floral-faunal community is established.
