What’s past is past, mostly: Brassicaceae host plants mask the feedback from the previous year’s soil history on bacterial communities, except when the Brassicaceae hosts experience drought
Abstract:Previous soil history and the current plant hosts are two plant-soil feedbacks that operate at different time-scales to influence the structure soil bacterial communities. In this study, we used a MiSeq metabarcoding strategy to describe the impact of five Brassicaceae host plant species, and three different soil histories, on the structure of their bacterial root and rhizosphere communities at full flower. We found that the Brassicaceae host plants were consistently significant in structuring the bacterial co… Show more
