Abstract:Background
Deciphering the local diversity and community assembly of plant-associated microorganisms is crucial to better predict the ecological functioning in forest ecosystems. The differences in microbial diversity and community assembly pattern between plant aboveground and belowground compartments, however, are less documented. Here, we examined the bacterial communities in the leaf- (endophytic and epiphytic) and root- (root and rhizospheric soil) associated habitats of 13 tree species in a subtropical … Show more
