Plant-associated bacteria are known for their high functional trait diversity, from which many
are likely to play a role in primary and secondary succession, facilitating plant establishment …

Proper quantification of the relative influence of soil and plant host on the root-associated
microbiome can only be achieved by studying its distribution along an environmental …

Premise There is growing recognition that intraspecific genetic variation in plants can
influence associated soil microbial communities, but the functional bridges linking plant …

Smooth cordgrass, Spartina alterniflora, dominates salt marshes on the east coast of the
United States. While the physicochemical cues affecting S. alterniflora productivity have …

Although soil and rhizosphere microbiomes in highly saline environments have been well-
studied, the role of soil salinity in the ecological processes affecting endophyte colonization …

Introduction Root-associated microorganisms promote plant growth and provide protection
from stresses. Halophytes are the fundamental components maintaining ecosystem …

Disentangling the relative influences of soil properties and plant-host on root-associated
microbiomes in natural systems is challenging, given that spatially segregated soil types …

Microbiologically driven ecosystem processes can be profoundly altered by alien plant
invasions. There is limited understanding of the ecological mechanisms orchestrating …

Soil history operates through time to influence the structure and biodiversity of soil bacterial
communities. Examining how different soil histories endure will help clarify the rules of …

Plant invasion profoundly changes the microbial-driven processes in the ecosystem;
however, the seasonality of soil microbial communities and their assembly under plant …
