Our collaborators, mycologists Xie et al. @koshroom led this project, just revealing an interesting fungal employment in Ophioderma pendulum roots! This epiphytic Adder's tongue #fern employs rare DSE but more Acaulospora AMFs, also unlike terrestrial species mainly with Glomus.

Premise Soil microbes can influence patterns of diversity in plant communities via plant–soil feedbacks. Intraspecific plant–soil feedbacks occur when plant genotype leads to variations in soil...
