Increased variability of microbial communities in restored salt marshes nearly 30 years after tidal flow restoration [PDF]
, 2012 We analyzed microbial diversity and community composition from four salt marsh sites that were impounded for 40–50 years and subsequently restored and four unimpounded sites in southeastern Connecticut over one growing season.

The Importance of Dispersal for Bacterial Community Composition and Functioning
PLoS ONE, 2011 We conducted a metacommunity experiment to investigate the role of dispersal for bacterial community composition (BCC) and function of freshwater bacteria. Bacteria were dispersed from a common source pool into three different lake communities in their natural lake water.

Differential mechanisms underlying responses of soil bacterial and fungal communities to nitrogen and phosphorus inputs in a subtropical forest [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 Atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition and phosphorus (P) addition both can change soil bacterial and fungal community structure with a consequent impact on ecosystem functions.

Variation in Bat Guano Bacterial Community Composition With Depth [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 (Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) Bats are known to be reservoirs for a variety of mammalian pathogens, including viruses, fungi, and bacteria. Many of the studies examining the microbial community inhabiting bats have investigated bacterial taxa found within specific bat tissues and isolated bat guano pellets, but relatively few ...

Tapping into the maize root microbiome to identify bacteria that promote growth under chilling conditions [PDF]
, 2020 Background When maize (Zea mays L.) is grown in the Northern hemisphere, its development is heavily arrested by chilling temperatures, especially at the juvenile phase. As some endophytes are beneficial for plants under stress conditions, we analyzed the

Dispersal alters bacterial diversity and composition in a natural community [PDF]
The ISME Journal, 2017 Abstract Dispersal is central to the evolution and maintenance of microbial diversity. Quantifying microbial dispersal and its role in shaping communities remains a challenge, however. Here, we manipulated a bacterial community’s dispersal rate in a grassland ecosystem and test whether this altered diversity and composition.

Biogeographic Distribution Patterns of Bacteria in Typical Chinese Forest Soils [PDF]
, 2016 Microbes are widely distributed in soils and play a very important role in nutrient cycling and ecosystem services. To understand the biogeographic distribution of forest soil bacteria, we collected 115 soil samples in typical forest ecosystems across ...
