Plant host effects on soil bacterial community diversity, nutrient characteristics, and microbial antagonistic phenotypes depend on plant community diversity.
Poster Number: 62 Presenter/Primary Author: Dan Schlatter While both plant host and community diversity have been shown to influence soil microbial communities, there is little understanding of how microbial communities may vary in association with the sa
