Protists as main indicators and determinants of plant performance

Microbiome, 2021
Background Microbiomes play vital roles in plant health and performance, and the development of plant beneficial microbiomes can be steered by organic fertilizer inputs. Especially well-studied are fertilizer-induced changes on bacteria and fungi and how

Specialized metabolic functions of keystone taxa sustain soil microbiome stability

Microbiome, 2021
Background The relationship between biodiversity and soil microbiome stability remains poorly understood. Here, we investigated the impacts of bacterial phylogenetic diversity on the functional traits and the stability of the soil microbiome. Communities
