We have simulated root exudation with microdialysis to stimulate soil microbes.Lots of method optimization & hard work from all coauthors has gone into this, pushed over the finish line by Andreas Schneider. Really happy to see this published looking forward to what’s next! doi.org/10.1186/s128...

Background The rhizosphere is a critical microenvironment that plays key roles in plant nutrient availability, largely due to root interactions with rhizospheric microbes. However, we lack suitable me...

New paper
We tested the Enemy Release Hypothesis in Pinus contorta across continents in foliar communities

contorta loses fungal pathogens when introduced, but context matters (~if there are related spp or not).
