Microbial taxonomical composition in spruce phyllosphere, but not community functional structure, varies by geographical location [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 Previous studies indicate that the plant phenotypic traits eventually shape its microbiota due to the community assembly based on the functional types.

Microbial diversity as soil quality indicator in agricultural soils [PDF]
, 2008 Soil quality is the capacity of a specific kind of soil to function, within natural or managed ecosystem boundaries, to sustain plant and animal productivity, maintain or enhance water and air quality, and support human health and habitation.

Resistance and resilience responses of a range of soil eukaryote and bacterial taxa to fungicide application [PDF]
, 2014 The application of plant protection products has the potential to significantly affect soil microbial community structure and function. However, the extent to which soil microbial communities from different trophic levels exhibit resistance and ...

RNA-TGGE, a Tool for Assessing the Potential for Bioremediation in Impacted Marine Ecosystems
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2015 Cultivation-independent genomic approaches have greatly advanced our understanding of the ecology and diversity of microbial communities involved in biodegradation processes. However, much still needs to be resolved in terms of the structure, composition

Microbial community composition, and not pH, influences lake sediment function
Ecosphere, 2022 Lake sediment microbial communities vary across ecosystems and are often differentiated across pH. Additionally, these pH‐mediated differences in community composition are often correlated with changes in sediment functioning, such as methane and carbon ...

The evolutionary ecology of model microbial communities [PDF]
, 2009 textThe biological world is complex. Communities contain a multitude of interacting species, while populations contain extensive genetic variation. How much complexity must one consider to understand patterns and processes of interest?
