Hosts, Microbes & Life – The Holobiont Revolution

🌳 Trees aren't just trees – they're bustling holobionts 🌱🧫! New Nature research reveals that living wood hosts vast, specialized microbiomes, with heartwood and sapwood fostering distinct microbial worlds.   These microbes shape carbon & nitrogen cycling 🌍, influence tree health 🌳💪, and reflect deep host–microbe coevolution 🧬. Rethinking forests as holobionts could transform conservation, climate strategies, and sustainable forestry. #Nature #Microbiome #Holobiont #Forests
