Sampling Design and Sample Processing Affect Soil Biodiversity Assessments. [PDF]

Mol Ecol Resour
ABSTRACT Biodiversity surveys require an appropriate sampling design for optimal performance and comparability across space and time and across studies. Based on PacBio and Illumina amplicon sequencing of animals, bacteria and fungi, we assessed and compared various soil sampling designs from widely used continental and global metabarcoding‐based ...

Differential response of soil microbial and animal communities along the chronosequence of Cunninghamia lanceolata at different soil depth levels in subtropical forest ecosystem

Journal of Advanced Research, 2022
Introduction: Soil biota plays a crucial role in the terrestrial ecosystem. There is growing momentum to understand the community structure and diversity of total belowground soil biota across large ecological scales.

Monitoring the Bacterial and Fungal Biota of Eleven Tobacco Grades Stored at Three Different Locations [PDF]

Beiträge zur Tabakforschung International/Contributions to Tobacco Research, 2009
Abstract Tobacco as many other plants has its own microbiota. There are very few studies determining the evolution of this microbiota during tobacco storage, which may affect the quality of tobacco. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) combined with denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) were used to determine changes in the ...

Roles of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi and Soil Abiotic Conditions in the Establishment of a Dry Grassland Community. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
BACKGROUND:The importance of soil biota in the composition of mature plant communities is commonly acknowledged. In contrast, the role of soil biota in the early establishment of new plant communities and their relative importance for soil abiotic ...

The soil biota composition along a progressive succession of secondary vegetation in a karst area. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Karst ecosystems are fragile and are in many regions degraded by anthropogenic activities. Current management of degraded karst areas focuses on aboveground vegetation succession or recovery and aims at establishing a forest ecosystem.

Fungal Biota in Manned Space Environment and Impact on Human Health

Nippon Eiseigaku Zasshi (Japanese Journal of Hygiene), 2011
It is important to promote microbiological research essential for long-term manned space activities under microgravity and in a completely closed environment in space craft in relation to long-duration space expeditions on the International Space Station (ISS) or to the moon and Mars in the future.

General relationships between abiotic soil properties and soil biota across spatial scales and different land-use types.

PLoS ONE, 2012
Very few principles have been unraveled that explain the relationship between soil properties and soil biota across large spatial scales and different land-use types.

Fungal Traits Important for Soil Aggregation

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Soil structure, the complex arrangement of soil into aggregates and pore spaces, is a key feature of soils and soil biota. Among them, filamentous saprobic fungi have well-documented effects on soil aggregation. However, it is unclear what properties, or

The Invasive Tradescantia zebrina Affects Litter Decomposition, but It Does Not Change the Lignocellulolytic Fungal Community in the Atlantic Forest, Brazil

Plants, 2023
Invasive plants affect ecosystems across various scales. In particular, they affect the quality and quantity of litter, which influences the composition of decomposing (lignocellulolytic) fungal communities. However, the relationship among the quality of
