Description
Juan Song and co-authors study how added microbes reshape root chemistry in the sweetgum tree Liquidambar formosana in a 2026 experiment. Roots leak compounds that feed soil life, and the two-way exchange may steer tree growth itself.
A bacterium, a root fungus, and both together were added to young trees. Combined dosing lifted growth most and eased stress chemistry in roots. Chemical profiling showed broad shifts in amino acids, acids, and sugars, with one sugar falling in both roots and leaks, hinting at lower stress demand. Richer carbon leaks may strengthen helpful microbe partnerships.
