Rhizosphere and Soil Depth Differentially Shape Microbial Community Composition and Assembly in Phragmites australis Salt-Marsh Soils

Common reed (Phragmites australis) is a native dominant plant in many coastal wetlands. To determine how rhizosphere effects and soil depth shape microbial communities, we sampled the rhizosphere and three bulk-soil layers (0–15, 15–30, and 30–45 cm) in a monodominant common-reed stand in a coastal salt marsh. Soil phy...
