Fig. 6: Conceptual diagram illustrating the impacts of soil micronutrients and soil macronutrient on the structure and function of soil microbiome.
From: Metallic micronutrients are associated with the structure and function of the soil microbiome
Micronutrients are highly correlated to the structure and function of soil microbiomes, and are comparable to the effects of soil macronutrients and pH. Micronutrients positively contributed to the ecosystem productivity by direct effect (nutrient supply for plants) rather than indirect effect (associated microbiome).
