Forest Microbiology, Volume One: Tree Microbiome: Phyllosphere, Endosphere, and Rhizosphere delves into the intricate realm of leaf, needle, stem, root, litter, and soil microbiology. This comprehensive title is organized into five sections, encompassing the phyllosphere microbiome, endosphere, rhizosphere, archaea, viruses in forest ecosystems, and microbiota of forest nurseries and tree pests. The book compares microbial communities associated with different host trees and various tree tissues, identifies generalists and specialists among tree-associated microbes, and explores biotic and abiotic factors that shape the composition and structure of forest tree microbial communities. Additionally, it introduces the concept of microbial 'hubs.' With a combined 25 years of teaching and research experience in forest microbiology, the book's editors have crafted an essential resource for scientists interested in the forest microbiome.
