Other claims from this paper (6)
- Observation Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria and Verrucomicrobia were the dominant rhizosphere phyla.
- Association Microbiomes clustered by geological substrate and elevation.
- Observation Volcanic samples were enriched in Verrucomicrobia.
- Observation Karst samples were dominated by nitrogen fixing Proteobacteria.
- Observation Serpentine sites had the most diverse communities with dominant Cyanobacteria.
- Mechanism The authors inferred that geology and climate jointly shape rhizosphere consortia and may contribute to tree phenotypic plasticity.
