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.

Bacterial Community Structures of Antarctic Soils

2014
Antarctica’s ice-free environments span diverse habitats, ranging from well developed and nutrient rich soils in the coastal areas, to poorly developed and oligotrophic soils in the continent’s deserts and high elevation sites. Though most terrestrial environments in Antarctica are typified by harsh environmental conditions, many soils are home to ...

Bacterial communities and enzyme activities of PAHs polluted soils

Chemosphere, 2004
Three soils (i.e. a Belgian soil, B-BT, a German soil, G, and an Italian agricultural soil, I-BT) with different properties and hydrocarbon-pollution history with regard to their potential to degrade phenanthrene were investigated. A chemical and microbiological evaluation of soils was done using measurements of routine chemical properties, bacterial ...

Plant community richness and microbial interactions structure bacterial communities in soil

Ecology, 2015
Plant species, plant community diversity and microbial interactions can significantly impact soil microbial communities, yet there are few data on the interactive effects of plant species and plant community diversity on soil bacterial communities. We hypothesized that plant species and plant community diversity affect soil bacterial communities by ...

Soil bacterial community structure in Chinese wetlands

Geoderma, 2019
Abstract Soil microbial communities are crucial in maintaining the functions of wetland ecosystems. Understanding the microbial community structure and the key factors driving the assemblages of wetland soil microbiota are important to reveal the connections between microorganisms and functions of wetland ecosystems.

Weeds influence soil bacterial and fungal communities

Plant and Soil, 2013
Vineyards harbour a variety of weeds, which are usually controlled since they compete with grapevines for water and nutrients. However, weed plants may host groups of fungi and bacteria exerting important functions. We grew three different common vineyard weeds (Taraxacum officinalis, Trifolium repens and Poa trivialis) in four different soils to ...

Bacterial soil communities affected by water-repellency

Geoderma, 2010
Abstract Soil water-repellency is a common phenomenon which occurs throughout the world. It prevents water from infiltrating into the soil and influences soil properties. The effects of water stress induced by water-repellency were investigated with respect to composition and culturability of bacterial communities in soils from an urban park in the ...

Soil bacterial community succession during long‐term ecosystem development

Molecular Ecology, 2013
AbstractThe physicochemical and biological gradients of soil and vegetative succession along the Franz Josef chronosequence in New Zealand were used to test whether bacterial communities show patterns of change associated with long‐term ecosystem development.

Bacterial Community Diversity in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest Soils

Microbial Ecology, 2010
The aim of this study was to characterize the bacterial community diversity of the Brazilian Atlantic forest soil by means of both cultivation and 16S rRNA clone libraries. A collection of 86 representative isolates, obtained from six samples of Atlantic forest soils from the National Park of Serra dos Órgãos (PARNASO), belonged to the genera ...

Analysis of Soil Whole- and Inner-Microaggregate Bacterial Communities

Microbial Ecology, 2004
Although soil structure largely determines energy flows and the distribution and composition of soil microhabitats, little is known about how microbial community composition is influenced by soil structural characteristics and organic matter compartmentalization dynamics.
