This study shows that early-season inoculation of Methylobacterium strains on tree leaves significantly alters bacterial community composition, while late-season inoculation has no effect, highlighting the role of priority effects in phyllosphere assembly.

This paper presents a framework for modeling plant-associated microbial distribution using process-oriented approaches and discusses challenges in data collection and interpretation.

This study shows that Methylobacterium community diversity and composition affect Arabidopsis thaliana growth, with increased diversity boosting biomass after an initial reduction.
