Rhizosphere microbial community assembly and association networks strongly differ based on vegetation type at a local environment scale

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
Introduction Rhizosphere microbes perform critical functions for their hosts, and their structure is strongly influenced by vegetation type. Although studies on the effects of vegetation on rhizosphere microbial community structure have been conducted at

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?

Estimating and mapping ecological processes influencing microbial community assembly

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015
Ecological community assembly is governed by a combination of (i) selection resulting from among-taxa differences in performance; (ii) dispersal resulting from organismal movement; and (iii) ecological drift resulting from stochastic changes in ...

Microbial community assembly and functional profiles along the soil-root continuum of salt-tolerant Suaeda glauca and Suaeda salsa

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023
Developing and planting salt-tolerant plants has become a promising way to utilize saline-alkali land resources and ensure food security. Root-associated microbes of salt-tolerant plants have been shown to promote plant growth and alleviate high salt ...

Abundant and Rare Microbial Communities Respectively Contribute to an Aquaculture Pond Ecosystem

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Unraveling the assembly mechanism is a core research topic of microbial ecology. Abundant and rare microbial communities are crucial for diversity, function and host health in a given ecosystem, but few studies focused on their assembly strategies. Here,

Hydrodynamic disturbance controls microbial community assembly and biogeochemical processes in coastal sediments

The ISME Journal, 2021
The microbial community composition and biogeochemical dynamics of coastal permeable (sand) sediments differs from cohesive (mud) sediments. Tide- and wave-driven hydrodynamic disturbance causes spatiotemporal variations in oxygen levels, which select ...

Soil microbial community assembly precedes vegetation development after drastic techniques to mitigate effects of nitrogen deposition [PDF]

, 2016
Oligotrophic semi-natural systems are threatened by high levels of nitrogen deposition. To mitigate these effects, drastic techniques such as sod-cutting and topsoil removal are applied to reduce nitrogen loads in existing systems and expand their area ...
