microbial-diversity

10 articles

Microbial diversity refers to the variety of bacteria, fungi, archaea, and other microorganisms that inhabit plant-associated environments such as the rhizosphere, phyllosphere, and endosphere. The composition and richness of these microbial communities directly influence plant health, nutrient acquisition, stress tolerance, and disease resistance. Understanding microbial diversity enables researchers to identify beneficial microbiomes that can be harnessed to improve crop productivity and ecosystem resilience.
