Researchers start pinning down how a fungal symbiont spurs growth of poplar, a potential biofuel feedstock.
Plant diversity, soil structure, and seasonality all influence microbial diversity in soil
Microbial Communities Matter in How Ecosystems Retain or Lose Nitrogen
Some cells stand firm against techniques to extract the biological material inside, while others don’t stand a chance.
The number of copies of genes a poplar tree has influences its traits.
Across ecosystems, microbial traits are preserved along lineages, much like in multicellular organisms, and can improve the development of soil models and more.
