Shifts in dominant tree species modulate phyllosphere microbial diversity and function in successional forests
The results demonstrate that the mixed forests foster greater microbial diversity, complexity, and functional potential in the phyllosphere compared to the pure forests, highlighting the importance of forest composition in shaping phyllosphere microbial communities.
