Warming treatments shift the temporal dynamics of diversity and composition of bacteria in wild blueberry soils
Our study reveals the limited impact of warming on overall soil bacterial diversity in a temperate crop, but the seasonal dynamics of bacterial diversity and composition are sensitive to warming. The increased bacterial evenness and diversity under warming treatments in June could be attributed to advanced plant phenology, indicating a potential future shift in seasonal dynamics of bacterial activity under global warming.
