Divergent Abiotic Stressors Drive Grassland Community Assembly of Tibet and Mongolia Plateau

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Multiple ecological processes simultaneously govern community assembly, but it remains unclear how abiotic stressors regulate the relative importance of these processes among different biogeographic regions.

Contrasting ecological processes shape the Eucalyptus phyllosphere bacterial and fungal community assemblies

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, 2022
Introduction Phyllosphere microbiome is intrinsically linked to plant performance and ecosystem functioning. However, our knowledge about the role of ecological processes in shaping the biogeography of different phyllosphere microbial communities is ...

Quantifying community assembly processes and identifying features that impose them [PDF]

The ISME Journal, 2013
Abstract Spatial turnover in the composition of biological communities is governed by (ecological) Drift, Selection and Dispersal. Commonly applied statistical tools cannot quantitatively estimate these processes, nor identify abiotic features that impose these processes.

Root attributes dominate the community assembly of soil fungal functional guilds across arid inland river basin

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Plant attributes are increasingly acknowledged as key drivers shaping soil fungal communities, but considerable uncertainty exists over fungal community assembly mechanisms and their plant drivers based only on inferences from plant aboveground ...

Stochastic processes dominate during boreal bryophyte community assembly [PDF]

Ecology, 2013
Why are plant species found in certain locations and not in others? The study of community assembly rules has attempted to answer this question, and many studies articulate the historic dichotomy of deterministic (predictable niches) vs. stochastic (random or semi‐random processes). The study of successional sequences to determine whether they converge,

Oceanographic structure drives the assembly processes of microbial eukaryotic communities [PDF]

The ISME Journal, 2014
Abstract Arctic Ocean microbial eukaryote phytoplankton form subsurface chlorophyll maximum (SCM), where much of the annual summer production occurs. This SCM is particularly persistent in the Western Arctic Ocean, which is strongly salinity stratified.

Resources alter the structure and increase stochasticity in bromeliad microfauna communities. [PDF]

, 2015
Although stochastic and deterministic processes have been found to jointly shape structure of natural communities, the relative importance of both forces may vary across different environmental conditions and across levels of biological organization.

Contrasting assembly processes in a bacterial metacommunity along a desiccation gradient

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2014
Understanding the relative influence of deterministic and stochastic processes in driving community assembly is a major goal in microbial ecology. Here, we have investigated the influence of these processes on bacterial community assembly in the lateral ...
