Metagenomic Study of Fungal Microbial Communities in Two PDO Somontano Vineyards (Huesca, Spain): Effects of Age, Plant Genotype, and Initial Phytosanitary Status on the Priming and Selection of their Associated Microorganisms [PDF]
The study of microbial communities associated with different plants of agronomic interest has allowed, in recent years, to answer a number of questions related to the role and influence of certain microbes in key aspects of their autoecology, such as ...

AUTOECOLOGY, DIVERSITY, AND INTERNAL GENETIC STRUCTURE OF Ocotea porosa (NEES & MART.) BARROSO: SUBSIDIES FOR SEED COLLECTION [PDF]
Ecological restoration mitigates the negative effects of fragmentation and habitat loss. This practice allows the conservation of key species, such as Ocotea porosa, a tree native to the Araucaria Forest and extremely endangered.
