2021 journal article

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

PLANTS PEOPLE PLANET, 3(5), 614–626.

By: M. Lee n & C. Hawkes n 

author keywords: biofuel crop; co-occurrence; Glomeromycota; grass; Panicum virgatum; Sebacina; Serendipita
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.

2020 journal article

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

PHYTOBIOMES JOURNAL, 5(1), 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
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)

2020 review

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

[Review of ]. PHYTOBIOMES JOURNAL, 5(1), 14–28.

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
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 journal article

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

GLOBAL CHANGE BIOLOGY, 26(2), 864–875.

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
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.
