Other claims from this paper (6)
- Association Geography shaped fungal assemblages.
- Observation T. cacao rhizospheres clustered across more than 500 km, indicating strong host filtering.
- Observation Cacao rhizospheres were enriched with nitrogen-cycling taxa identified as keystones.
- Observation Predicted denitrification genes were enriched in cacao rhizospheres.
- Observation Predicted nitrogen fixation genes were enriched in cacao rhizospheres.
- Mechanism Authors propose cacao roots spatially separate nitrogen processes via oxygen dynamics.
