Beneficial and Adverse Effects of Bio‐Inoculation on Predicted Functional Microbial Communities in Salt‐Land Restoration Bioinoculants are increasingly used in land restoration programs to alleviate environmental stress during tree establishment and to enhance vegetation recovery in degraded ecosystems. However, their ...
