Soil protists: a fertile frontier in soil biology research
Protists include all eukaryotes except plants, fungi and animals. They are an essential, yet
often forgotten, component of the soil microbiome. Method developments have now …

The seed microbiome: origins, interactions, and impacts
EB Nelson - Plant and Soil, 2018 - Springer
Background The development and dispersal of seeds as well as their transition to seedlings
represent perhaps the most critical stages of a plant's life cycle. The endophytic and …

Dilution of specialist pathogens drives productivity benefits from diversity in plant mixtures
Productivity benefits from diversity can arise when compatible pathogen hosts are buffered
by unrelated neighbors, diluting pathogen impacts. However, the generality of pathogen …
