Prokaryotic taxa play keystone roles in the soil microbiome associated with woody perennial plants in the genus Buxus. [PDF]

Ecol Evol, 2019
Archaea, bacteria, and fungi in soil associated with perennial boxwood shrubs were characterized using meta‐barcoding. Archaeal and bacterial diversity was influenced by boxwood species/cultivar and prokaryotes showed evidence of being keystone taxa in the soil microbiome.
