Feeding the world's growing population requires continuously increasing crop yields with less fertilizers and agrochemicals on limited land. Focusing on plant belowground traits, especially root-soil-microbe interactions, holds a great promise for overcoming this challenge. The belowground root-soil-microbe interactions are complex and involve a range of physical, chemical, and biological processes that influence nutrient-use efficiency, plant growth and health. Understanding, predicting, and manipulating these rhizosphere processes will enable us to harness the relevant interactions to improve plant productivity and nutrient-use efficiency. Here, we review the recent progress and challenges in root-soil-microbe interactions. We also highlight how root-soil-microbe interactions could be manipulated to ensure food security and resource sustainability in a changing global climate, with an emphasis on reducing our dependence on fertilizers and agrochemicals.
养活全球不断增长的人口需要在有限的土地上使用更少的肥料和农用化学品来持续提高作物产量。关注植物地下性状，特别是根-土壤-微生物相互作用，有望克服这一挑战。地下根-土壤-微生物相互作用十分复杂，涉及一系列影响养分利用效率、植物生长和健康的物理、化学及生物过程。理解、预测和调控这些根际过程将使我们能够利用相关相互作用来提高植物生产力和养分利用效率。在此，我们综述了根-土壤-微生物相互作用方面的最新进展与挑战。我们还强调了如何调控根-土壤-微生物相互作用，以在不断变化的全球气候中确保粮食安全和资源可持续性，重点是减少我们对肥料和农用化学品的依赖。
