Foliar fungi-imposed costs to plant productivity moderate shifts in composition of the rhizosphere microbiome

Plants in grasslands navigate a complex landscape of interactions including competition for resources and defense against pathogens. Foliar fungi can suppress plant growth directly through pathogenic interactions, or indirectly via host growth-defense tradeoffs. The exclusion of foliar fungi allows...
