Fine scale spatial variability of microbial pesticide degradation in soil: scales, controlling factors, and implications
Pesticide biodegradation is a soil microbial function of critical importance for modern agriculture and its environmental impact. While it was once assumed that this activity was homogeneously distributed at the field scale, mounting evidence indicates that this is rarely the case. Here, we critical...
