Biogeography and Diversity of Multi-Trophic Root Zone Microbiomes in Michigan Apple Orchards: Analysis of Rootstock, Scion, and Local Growing Region

Soil is a highly heterogeneous environment with many physical and chemical factors that are expected to vary within and across fruit orchards, and many of these factors also drive changes in the soil microbiome. To understand how biogeography influences apple root microbiomes, we characterized the b...
