Enhancing Biodiversity-Function Relationships in Field Retting: Towards Key Microbial Indicators for Retting Control.

These results exhibit a significant degree of microbial community overlap between the two retting conditions for both bacterial and fungal populations, with a slight trend towards greater similarity in fungal communities. 3.3 Community Structure 3.3.1 Bacterial Community Structure The bacterial community composition at the phyla level for both stem and soil samples from the field and pilot unit retting was analysed to reveal patterns of microbial succession during retting and their possible functional implications (Figure 2 ).
