2021 article

Widespread co‐occurrence of Sebacinales and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in switchgrass roots and soils has limited dependence on soil carbon or nutrients

Lee, M. R., & Hawkes, C. V. (2021, January 27). Plants People Planet, Vol. 3, pp. 614–626.

By: M. Lee n & C. Hawkes n 

author keywords: biofuel crop; co-occurrence; Glomeromycota; grass; Panicum virgatum; Sebacina; Serendipita
topics (OpenAlex): Mycorrhizal Fungi and Plant Interactions; Forest Ecology and Biodiversity Studies; Plant Pathogens and Fungal Diseases
TL;DR: Sebacinales are rare compared to arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, and are only weakly associated with soil carbon, suggesting that ideas about improved soil carbon cycling associated with Sebacinale need to be sufficiently studied across a range of environmental conditions prior to their consideration for broad-spectrum soil inoculants.

Plant and Soil Drivers of Whole-Plant Microbiomes: Variation in Switchgrass Fungi from Coastal to Mountain Sites

Lee, M. R., & Hawkes, C. V. (2020, October 16). Phytobiomes Journal, Vol. 5, pp. 69–79.

By: M. Lee n & C. Hawkes n 

author keywords: community assembly; distance-decay; ecology; environmental filtering; fungi; leaf; microbiome; mycology; Panicum virgatum; rhizosphere and phyllosphere; root; soil; spatial scaling
topics (OpenAlex): Mycorrhizal Fungi and Plant Interactions; Plant Pathogens and Fungal Diseases; Lichen and fungal ecology
TL;DR: Niche differences at small scales best explained variation in fungal communities and the specific environmental drivers of fungal community composition differed for leaves, roots, and soils, supporting the key role of plant and soil properties. (via Semantic Scholar)

The Switchgrass Microbiome: A Review of Structure, Function, and Taxonomic Distribution

Hestrin, R., Lee, M. R., Whitaker, B. K., & Pett-Ridge, J. (2020, October 2). Phytobiomes Journal.

By: R. Hestrin *, M. Lee n, B. Whitaker n & J. Pett-Ridge *

author keywords: agriculture; bacteria; bioenergy; biofuel; endophyte; fungi; genomics; microbiome; mutualism; mycorrhizae; nutrient cycling; Panicum virgatum; perennial crop; plant-microbe interactions; plants; rhizosphere and phyllosphere; soil ecology; yield and crop productivity
topics (OpenAlex): Bioenergy crop production and management; Biofuel production and bioconversion; Plant-Microbe Interactions and Immunity
TL;DR: A review of the literature investigating switchgrass microbiome structure, key functional roles, and taxa isolated from field-grown plants highlights areas where additional research is necessary for a more comprehensive understanding of switchgrass genome structure, function, and potential to enhance sustainable bioenergy production.

2019 article

Accurate forest projections require long‐term wood decay experiments because plant trait effects change through time

Oberle, B., Lee, M. R., Myers, J. A., Osazuwa‐Peters, O. L., Spasojevic, M. J., Walton, M. L., … Zanne, A. E. (2019, October 19). Global Change Biology.

By: B. Oberle *, M. Lee n, J. Myers *, O. Osazuwa‐Peters *, M. Spasojevic *, M. Walton*, D. Young*, A. Zanne *

author keywords: carbon cycle; plant traits; temperate forest; temporal scale; wood decay; woody debris
MeSH headings : Carbon Cycle; Ecosystem; Forests; Trees; Wood
topics (OpenAlex): Forest Ecology and Biodiversity Studies; Forest ecology and management; Remote Sensing and LiDAR Applications
TL;DR: Denser wood loses mass more slowly at first but more quickly with advancing decay, which resolves ambiguity about the after‐life consequences of this key plant functional trait by demonstrating that its effect on decay depends on experiment duration and sampling frequency.
