Direct and indirect effects of a pH gradient bring insights into the mechanisms driving prokaryotic community structures

Abstract Background pH is frequently reported as the main driver for prokaryotic community structure in soils. However, pH changes are also linked to “spillover effects” on other chemical parameters (e.g., availability of Al, Fe, Mn, Zn, and Cu) and plant growth, but these indirect effects on the mi...
