Highly compartmentalized microbiomes in blueberry microhabitats
Blueberry plants harbor highly compartmentalized microbial communities shaped by selective environmental and physiological filtering. Our findings provide a baseline for future development of targeted, compartment-specific bioinoculants aimed at enhancing beneficial microorganisms for blueberry cultivation.
