Changes in the co-occurrence pattern of fine root bacteria induced by root traits of Paulownia under soil cadmium stress

Key Points

• Altered co-occurrence patterns of fine root bacteria were observed under cadmium stress.
• Key findings include a substantial shift in microbial community structure linked to root traits.
• Analysis focused on root traits of Paulownia exposed to cadmium stress in soil.
• These findings highlight the importance of root traits in managing soil stress and microbial interactions.
