Oomycete communities in lowland tropical forest soils vary in species abundance and comprise saprophytes and pathogens of seeds and seedlings of multiple plant species
Collectively, these findings demonstrate that oomycetes are ubiquitous, host-generalist pathogens and saprophytes, that can impact seed and seedling survival in lowland tropical forests.
