Favorable habitats of endangered halophytes harbor unique soil properties and bacterial communities, with a dominant root-associated genus promoting host plant growth
Understanding how edaphic factors and root-associated bacterial communities interact to shape plant growth is essential for effective conservation of halophytic species in coastal ecosystems. We investigated relationships among bulk soil, rhizosphere, and root bacterial microbiota; soil physicochemical properties; an...
