Priority effects influence bacterial community assembly on temperate deciduous tree leaves
Microbial community assembly on leaves (the phyllosphere) is influenced by deterministic, stochastic, and historical processes. However, the importance of historical processes such as priority effects, where the timing and order of colonization influence community assembly, has not been extensively investigated in field-based phyllosphere studies. We designed a field experiment in a temperate…
