Longer projected droughts will impair the recovery of tropical seedlings and their leaf microbiota
The increasingly severe droughts in the Amazon Basin make it urgent to understand the resilience of tropical tree species and their microbiota. Plant-associated fungi and bacteria (i.e. extended phenotype) modulate drought stress for their hosts, but their role in recovery dynamics remains poorly understood. To test th...
