Evaluation of strategies to separate root-associated microbial communities: A crucial choice in rhizobiome research

Plants shape distinct, species-specific microbiomes in their rhizospheres. A main premise for evaluating microbial communities associated with root-soil compartments is their successful separation into the rhizosphere (soil-root interface), the rhizoplane (root surface), and the endosphere (inside r...
