Buffelgrass invasion and glyphosate effects on desert soil microbiome communities
Gornish E, Franklin K, Rowe J, Barberan A. Buffelgrass invasion and glyphosate effects on desert soil microbiome communities. Research Permit and Reporting System
Our study results suggest that buffelgrass can escape the limitation of nutrient availability in arid ecosystems by directly or indirectly modifying the soil microbiome. The competitive dominance of buffelgrass in arid systems might be indirectly enhanced by nitrifiers and fungal symbionts, which are often involved in rapid biomass accumulation. This work highlights the importance of soil microbiome considerations in weed science research.
