Modelling understorey dynamics in temperate forests under global change : challenges and perspectives [PDF]

, 2018
The understorey harbours a substantial part of vascular plant diversity in temperate forests and plays an important functional role, affecting ecosystem processes such as nutrient cycling and overstorey regeneration.

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.

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.

Stream diatom community assembly processes in islands and continents: A global perspective

Journal of Biogeography, 2023
AbstractAimUnderstanding the roles of deterministic and stochastic processes in community assembly is essential for gaining insights into the biogeographical patterns of biodiversity. However, the way community assembly processes operate is still not fully understood, especially in oceanic islands.

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 ...

Invasion in microbial communities: Role of community composition and assembly processes [PDF]

, 2017
Mikroorganismer bidrager til alle jordens biokemiske kredsløb og er ansvarlige for centrale biologiske processer for overlevelsen af planter og dyr. Der er øget interesse for at styre og håndtere mikrobielle samfund i forskellige økosystemer for at gøre specifikke mikrobielle processer mere effektive.

Deterministic processes vary during community assembly for ecologically dissimilar taxa [PDF]

Nature Communications, 2015
AbstractThe continuum hypothesis states that both deterministic and stochastic processes contribute to the assembly of ecological communities. However, the contextual dependency of these processes remains an open question that imposes strong limitations on predictions of community responses to environmental change. Here we measure community and habitat

A new modeling approach estimates the relative importance of different community assembly processes [PDF]

, 2015
The relative importance of niche-based (e.g., competitive or stress-based) and stochastic (e.g., random dispersal) processes in structuring ecological communities is frequently analyzed by studying trait distributions of co-occurring species.

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 ...
