| Abstract | Plants live with a large number and diversity of microbes that influence plant health. Some microbes help plants by providing nutrients, whereas others can have negative effects like causing disease. Plants, in turn, influence the presence or absence of certain microbes in the soil, with individual plant species creating unique microbial signatures. This allows for a situation where plant-associated changes in microbial communities feedback to influence plant health. These plant-soil feedbacks c |
