Unravelling the interplay of ecological processes structuring the bacterial rare biosphere

Xiu Jia, Francisco Dini-Andreote, Joana Falcão Salles • ISME Communications (2022)

Abstract Most ecological communities harbor many rare species (i.e., the rare biosphere), however, relatively little is known about how distinct ecological processes structure their existence. Here, we used spatiotemporal data on soil bacte...
