Tree Leaf Bacterial Community Structure and Diversity Differ along a Gradient of Urban Intensity

Tree Leaf Bacterial Community Structure and Diversity Differ along a Gradient of Urban Intensity

ABSTRACT Tree leaf-associated microbiota have been studied in natural ecosystems but less so in urban settings, where anthropogenic pressures on trees could impact microbial communities and modify their interaction with their hosts. Additionally, trees act as vectors spreading bacterial cells in the...
