Abstract
Plants and microorganisms are part of ecosystems. Soil microbes have a crucial role in providing nutrition and thus influence plant growth. Plants through their root exudates affect the microbiome structures. The soil biogeochemical process in the rhizosphere is controlled by soil microbial activity that directly or indirectly supports the plant performance. The mechanisms of this interaction and the alteration between plant-rhizosphere-microbiome are bidirectional and poorly understood. Plants release the exudates through the rhizodeposition that become a nutrient source for soil microbes to grow. Land use change will affect the soil biota structure and composition through the soil biomass and nutrient input. Land use change will change the plant aboveground biomass then it will the shifted of the bacterial and fungal communities. Land use change due to anthropogenic activities positively correlated with the soil chemical characteristics and it will have a negative effect on Proteobacteria, and positive effect on Acidobacteria and Actinobacteria. We focus on the plants and root-associated bacteria interaction that enhance soil nutrition. This interaction results in plant traits changes, including the members of the plant-associated community at the trophic levels.
