Antarctic moss fairy rings serve as reservoirs for plant growth-promoting bacteria.
BMC plant biology 20260120 1
BACKGROUND: Antarctic terrestrial vegetation and microbial communities are undergoing climate-driven changes, which in some cases have been linked to the emergence of plant diseases. Ring-shaped plant disease structures, known as fairy rings (FRs), have been observed in moss fields dominated by Sanionia uncinata. Previous studies suggest that FRs promote vegetation development through interactions with bacterial communities. This raises the possibility that the bacterial communities in Antarctic ...[more]
