Abstrakt:	Importance: Compared with the phyllosphere, bacteria inhabiting bark surfaces are inadequately understood. Based on a preliminary pilot study, our work suggests that microbial populations vary across tree bark surfaces and may differ in relation to surrounding land use. Initial results suggest that stemflow, the water that flows along the bark surface, actively moves bacterial communities across a tree. These preliminary findings underscore the need for further study of niche microbial populations to determine whether there are connections between the biodiversity of microbiomes inhabiting corticular surfaces, land use, and hydrology.
