Plant host identity drives Andropogon gerardii rhizobiome assembly strategies under increasing abiotic stress

Brooke Vogt, Anna Kazarina, Jack Sytsma, Bryttan Adams, Leslie Rodela, Dasik Clouse, Reece Keller, Darcy Thompson, Helen Winters, Maggie R. Wagner, Ari Jumpponen, Loretta C. Johnson, Sonny T. M. Lee

This study shows that regional precipitation significantly influences the microbial communities in the rhizosphere of Andropogon gerardii, with arid regions showing more stochastic microbial assembly and host-benefiting taxa.
