Genetic variation in tree leaf chemistry predicts the abundance and activity of autotrophic soil microorganisms

Abstract Genetic variation in the chemistry of plant leaves can have ecosystem‐level consequences. Here, we address the hypothesis that genetic variation in foliar condensed tannins along a Populus hybridization gradient influences soil ammonia oxidizers, a group of autotrophic microorganisms that p...
