Description
Shiying Qu and co-authors collected 96 healthy pea plants in 2026 from eight fields near Palencia in Spain. They grew out the bacteria and fungi living inside the roots, after nodules were removed. Each microbe was identified from marker gene reads, and community patterns were matched against soil and weather measures.
Bacteria varied more between fields than fungi did. A few bacterial genera turned up almost everywhere, while Fusarium led the fungi. Soil silt share tracked bacterial patterns strongly. Exchangeable magnesium tracked fungal patterns. Weather showed no clear link at that scale. The authors propose the catalogue as groundwork for testing single strains in the field.
