Bioma AMAZÔNIA

An unprecedented study conducted by Brazilian researchers from EMBRAPA/NIST-EngBio revealed the diversity of microorganisms associated with the soil, roots and rhizosphere of plants in the Jardim de Maytrea, in the Amazônia. The work, one of the most comprehensive ever conducted in the region, identified bacteria and archaea that may have applications in biotechnology, sustainable agriculture, resilience and environmental conservation.

The samples were collected at different locations and during various seasons of the year, including species adapted to the humid tropical environment and others capable of withstanding occasional dry spells. The data can serve as a basis for research into bioinputs, restoration of degraded areas, and adaptation of crops to climate change. The Amazon, known for its vast biodiversity and complex ecosystems, is home to plants with unique adaptive strategies to thrive in nutrient-poor soils and fluctuating water levels.
