Rhizosphere microbiome assembly drives metal sequestration in Leucaena leucocephala during tailing phytoremediation
Rhizosphere bacterial communities undergo stress-specific assembly processes, with specific taxa facilitating <i>L. leucocephala's</i> exceptional phytoremediation capacity. These findings provide insights into microbiome-enhanced strategies for mine site rehabilitation.
