Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect Higher ozone exposure was linked to significant decreases in bacteria, fungi and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in the poplar rhizosphere.
- Intervention effect Higher ozone exposure reduced the fungi-to-bacteria ratio.
- Intervention effect Soil N addition had no impact on the soil microbial parameters.
- Intervention effect No interactive effects between ozone and N were observed on soil microbial community composition.
- Method / resource Concentration-based and flux-based ozone dose-response analyses performed equivalently.
- Mechanism Structural equation modelling indicated that changes in microbial community composition were attributable to changes in soil pH but unrelated to plant characteristics.
