Comparative Analysis of the Ecological Succession of Microbial Communities on Two Artificial Reef Materials

Microorganisms, 2021
Concrete and wood are commonly used to manufacture artificial reefs (ARs) worldwide for marine resource enhancement and habitat restoration. Although microbial biofilms play an important role in marine ecosystems, the microbial communities that colonize ...

Local environmental context drives heterogeneity of early succession dynamics in alpine glacier forefields [PDF]

Biogeosciences, 2023
Glacier forefields have long provided ecologists with a model to study patterns of plant succession following glacier retreat. While plant-survey-based approaches applied along chronosequences provide invaluable information on plant communities, the ...

Structure, composition and carbon stocks of woody plant community in assisted and unassisted ecological succession in a Tamaulipan thornscrub, Mexico

Revista Chilena de Historia Natural, 2021
Background Ecological restoration is a process that helps the recovery of an ecosystem that has been degraded, damaged or destroyed. The success of restoration actions depend on the understanding of the processes, mechanisms and factors that guide ...

The role of arbuscular mycorrhizae in primary succession: differences and similarities across habitats [PDF]

Web Ecology, 2010
Primary succession is an ecological process of fundamental importance referring to the development of vegetation on areas not previously occupied by a plant community.

From basalt to biosphere: Early non-vent community succession on the erupting Vailulu’u deep seamount

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
Volcanic eruptions provide rare opportunities to witness the biological recolonization of areas covered by new lava flows by effectively resetting the ecological succession clock to zero. The role of submarine volcanic eruptions as disturbance events and

Ecological succession in the vaginal microbiota during pregnancy and birth

The ISME Journal, 2020
The mother’s vaginal microbiota represents the first microbes to which a child is exposed when delivered vaginally. However, little is known about the composition and development of the vaginal microbiota during pregnancy and birth. Here, we analyzed the

Forest succession improves the complexity of soil microbial interaction and ecological stochasticity of community assembly: Evidence from Phoebe bournei-dominated forests in subtropical regions

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Forest succession is a central ecological topic, due to the importance of the associated dynamic processes for terrestrial ecosystems. However, very little is currently known about the community assembly and interaction of soil microbial communities ...
