microbial-communities
Microbial communities are complex assemblages of microorganisms that coexist and interact within shared environments. In plant science, these communities—encompassing soil microbiota, root-associated microbes, and plant-internal organisms—are essential for understanding plant nutrition, disease suppression, stress tolerance, and overall fitness. Research into plant-associated microbial communities has become fundamental to advancing sustainable agriculture and predicting how plants respond to changing environmental conditions.
