Nonstationarity in wildlife disease dynamics: insights from the prairie dog–plague system

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Ecological relationships often vary in strength and direction across ecosystems, a pattern that has become increasingly evident as ecology expands to broader spatial and temporal scales. Although such nonstationarity – the changing effect of predictor variables across spatiotemporal contexts – is widely acknowledged in ecological research, it has ...

Phosphorus limits the growth of bacterial and eukaryotic primary producers in recently deglaciated High Arctic soils

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Glaciers are receding at unprecedented rates worldwide, exposing large areas of barren sediment that are quickly colonized by microbes. Nutrient availability is a critical driver of early ecosystem succession, but in the High Arctic its role has remained uncertain.

Resilience‐as‐doing: A relational model for living practice

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Dominant frameworks treat resilience as a capacity to withstand disturbance and recover, something systems, communities or individuals either have or lack. This paper proposes a different understanding, grounded in relational onto‐epistemology and first‐person, practice‐based, autoethnographic inquiry situated within a household garden.

Relational knowing as method and practice

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper seeks to contribute to (re)building the capacity for embodied, place‐based relational knowing, transforming how we know and thus what we know. What is known, or sought to be known, is relations. How we know these relations is by already being in it: breathing, sensing, moving, listening, responding, affecting and being affected ...

Bacterial community analysis on Sclerotium-suppressive soil

Archives of Microbiology, 2021
Difficulties in controlling the soil-borne plant pathogenic fungus Sclerotium rolfsii favoured the analysis of its suppressive soil for better understanding. In the present study, culture-independent molecular technique was used to analyse the bacterial communities of suppressive soil and conducive soil. Hence, metagenomic DNAs from both kinds of soils

Effects of Intact Soil Bacterial Community on Plant Growth and Soil Physicochemical Properties

The Fifth International Conference on Biological Information and Biomedical Engineering, 2021
Soil microorganisms play an important role in the nutrient transformation and circulation of terrestrial ecosystem. Some studies found that intact soil microbial community could purify the soil environment and promote plant growth. However, the effects of intact soil microbial community and their affect mechanisms were not clearly known.

Biogeographical patterns of soil bacterial communities

Environmental Microbiology Reports, 2009
Summary This study provides the first maps of variations in bacterial community structure on a broad scale based on genotyping of DNA extracts from 593 soils from four different regions of France (North, Brittany, South‐East and Landes).

Effect of carbendazim and pencycuron on soil bacterial community

Journal of Hazardous Materials, 2009
Soil bacterial composition is used as one of the important indicators of negative effects of the use of pesticides in agriculture. Very little is known on the effects of fungicides, particularly carbendazim and pencycuron on soil bacterial community. In this study, laboratory experiments were conducted to examine the effects of various concentrations ...

Towards a Natural History of Soil Bacterial Communities

Trends in Microbiology, 2018
Despite the enormous diversity of bacteria, a recent study reveals that soils are globally dominated by a small list of taxa. Characterizing the traits of these bacteria offers the potential for predicting functional differences among soil communities.

Characterization of the bacterial community of a zinc-polluted soil

Canadian Journal of Microbiology, 1999
The bacterial community of a zinc-contaminated soil (Maatheide soil in Lommel, Belgium) was studied using cultivation as well as cultivation-independent techniques. Colony-forming units (CFU) were determined by plating on media with or without metals.
