Soil bacterial community composition is more stable in kiwifruit orchards relative to phyllosphere communities over time

Abstract Background Soil and phyllosphere (leaves and fruit) microbes play critical roles in the productivity and health of crops. However, microbial community dynamics are currently understudied in orchards, with a limited number incorporating temporal monitoring. We used 16S rRNA gene amplicon seq...
