Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect Fire regime did not drive major changes in rhizosphere bacterial abundance of the savanna trees.
- Observation Culture-dependent methods differentiated rhizosphere bacterial communities between the sampled sites.
- Observation The sampled sites were enriched in Proteobacteria with a wide range of plant-beneficial traits.
- Observation Bradyrhizobium was the most frequent symbiotic bacterium trapped in cowpea nodules.
- Intervention effect The global analysis showed no significant difference in rhizosphere bacteria between landscapes or sites with different fire regimes.
- Association Rhizosphere bacteria appear to be associated with plant species, soil type and fire regime.
