Integrating Stochastic and Deterministic Process in the Biogeography of N2-Fixing Cyanobacterium Candidatus Atelocyanobacterium Thalassa

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
UCYN-A is one of the most widespread and important marine diazotrophs. Its unusual distribution in both cold/warm and coastal/oceanic waters challenges current understanding about what drives the biogeography of diazotrophs.

Salinity Is a Key Determinant for Soil Microbial Communities in a Desert Ecosystem

mSystems, 2019
Soil salinization is a growing environmental problem caused by both natural and human activities. Excessive salinity in soil suppresses growth, decreases species diversity, and alters the community composition of plants; however, the effect of salinity ...

First report of the ectomycorrhizal fungal community associated with two herbaceous plants in Inner Mongolia, China [PDF]

PeerJ, 2023
Ectomycorrhizal (EM) fungi play a vital role in ensuring plant health, plant diversity, and ecosystem function. However, the study on fungal diversity and community assembly of EM fungi associated with herbaceous plants remains poorly understood.

Microclimatic variations in tropical canopies: a glimpse into the processes of community assembly in epiphytic bryophyte communities

Journal of Ecology, 2022
Epiphytic communities live in a unique, three-dimensional micro-habitat space that offers an original framework to disentangle the contribution of environmental filters, biotic interactions and dispersal limitation to community structure at small spatial scales.

Nutrients Changed the Assembly Processes of Profuse and Rare Microbial Communities in Coals

Polish Journal of Microbiology, 2022
Abstract Nutrient stimulation is considered effective for improving biogenic coalbed methane production potential. However, our knowledge of the microbial assembly process for profuse and rare microbial communities in coals under nutrient stimulation is still limited.

Processes for Communal Discernment: Diocesan Synods and Assemblies

The Jurist: Studies in Church Law and Ministry, 2011
Processes for communal discernment: diocesan synods and assemblies. Some years ago the English theologian. Nicholas Lash. reflecting on belief in God in contemporary western culture. repeatedly used the image ofa school when referring to the Church. At one point he said. "this, ... is the kind of school the church exists to be: a place within the wider
