Unravelling nature’s complex tapestry: plant community stability and soil microbial networks
We recently published paper from long-term research done within our department in Nature Communications.
Plants associate with complex interactive networks of soil microbial communities. We show that plant community stability is associated with a decoupling of prokaryote and fungal soil networks. Prokaryote-fungal decoupling occurred in soil abandoned from agriculture 60 years prior to our study.
