Soil pH correlates with the co-occurrence and assemblage process of diazotrophic communities in rhizosphere and bulk soils of wheat fields
Biological nitrogen fixation contributes to the pool of plant-available N in both bulk soil and
the rhizosphere. Here we investigated the co-association and assemblage process of …
