Pinus radiata microbiome Metagenome

This study investigates the effects of aridity on tree-root microbiome symbiosis, focusing on the widely planted Pinus radiata. By sampling a broad geographic range and diverse environmental gradients, we reveal how aridity, soil and climatic variables shape microbial communities in P. radiata roots and soils. The insights gained have implications for understanding the resilience of tree species and the ecosystem services they provide under future climate scenarios.
