Microbial residence time is a controlling parameter of the taxonomic composition and functional profile of microbial communities. [PDF]
A remaining challenge within microbial ecology is to understand the determinants of richness and diversity observed in environmental microbial communities.

The orchard inter-planting pattern is being widely used in many countries of the world, but it is relatively new in China. This study evaluated the interrow mono- and mixed-planting of Lolium perenne (Lp) and Medicago sativa (Ms) in orchards on soil ...

Contrasting arbuscular mycorrhizal communities colonizing different host plants show a similar response to a soil phosphorus concentration gradient [PDF]
High soil phosphorus (P) concentration is frequently shown to reduce root colonization by arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi, but the influence of P on the diversity of colonizing AM fungi is uncertain.

Different Responses of Soil Bacterial Communities to Nitrogen Addition in Moss Crust
Bacterial communities in soil serve an important role in controlling terrestrial biogeochemical cycles and ecosystem processes. Increased nitrogen (N) deposition in Northwest China is generating quantifiable changes in many elements of the desert ...

Of beta diversity, variance, evenness, and dissimilarity [PDF]
The amount of variation in species composition among sampling units or beta diversity has become a primary tool for connecting the spatial structure of species assemblages to ecological processes.

Opinion diversity and community formation in adaptive networks
It is interesting and of significant importance to investigate how network structures co-evolve with opinions. The existing models of such co-evolution typically lead to the final states where network nodes either reach a global consensus or break into ...

Sydowia polyspora dominates fungal communities carried by two Tomicus species in pine plantations threatened by Fusarium circinatum [PDF]
Producción CientíficaBark beetles (Coleoptera, Scolytinae) carry a diverse filamentous fungal community sometimes acting as vectors or carriers of phytopathogens.

CO2 leakage can cause loss of benthic biodiversity in submarine sands [PDF]
One of the options to mitigate atmospheric CO2 increase is CO2 Capture and Storage in sub-seabed geological formations. Since predicting long-term storage security is difficult, different CO2 leakage scenarios and impacts on marine ecosystems require ...

Global climate change is altering the amounts of ice and snow in winter, and this could be a major driver of soil microbial processes. However, it is not known how bacterial and fungal communities will respond to changes in the snow cover. We conducted a

Reserve Size And Fragmentation Alter Community Assembly, Diversity, And Dynamics [PDF]
Researchers have disputed whether a single large habitat reserve will support more species than many small reserves. However, relatively little is known from a theoretical perspective about how reserve size affects competitive communities structured by ...
