Evolutionary History Impacts Phyllosphere Community Assembly on Forage Grasses

The paper examines how evolutionary history influences phyllosphere community assembly in native and non-native grasses under drought stress, finding evidence of phylosymbiosis and cophylogenetic relationships.

Phyllosphere community assembly and response to drought stress on common tropical and temperate forage grasses

This study examines how drought stress affects phyllosphere microbial communities in temperate and tropical forage grasses and finds that bacterial diversity and composition change significantly under drought, correlating with plant host traits.

Amazonian soil metagenomes indicate different physiological strategies of microbial communities in response to land use change

The paper compares microbial community physiological strategies in Amazonian forest and pasture soils using metagenomics and machine learning, finding distinct gene compositions and shifts linked to land use change.

Rainforest-to-pasture conversion stimulates soil methanogenesis across the Brazilian Amazon

This study shows that converting rainforest to pasture in the Brazilian Amazon increases soil methanogenesis, with pastures acting as methane sources and secondary rainforests as sinks.
