Grass rhizobiomes in Extreme Drought in Grassland Ecosystems (EDGE) experiment
Using ITS2 MiSeq data to dissect fungal communities associated with common grasses, this study aims to evaluate whether or not root associated fungal communities respond to extended extreme drought. The study tests specific hypotheses on resistance and resilience of the fungal communities that colonize root systems of common and foundational grasses in grassland ecosystems.
