The rhizosphere is the region of soil surrounding plant roots that is heavily influenced by the presence and activity of the plant roots. This area is teeming with microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, and protists, as well as plant roots, exudates, and soil particles. Research in the rhizosphere focuses on understanding the complex interactions between plants, soil microorganisms, and the surrounding soil environment, with the goal of improving plant growth, nutrient uptake, and overall ecosystem function. Studies in the rhizosphere often involve exploring the role of plant-microbe interactions in nutrient cycling, disease suppression, and soil health.
