Light structures phototroph, bacterial and fungal communities at the soil surface [PDF]
The upper few millimeters of soil harbour photosynthetic microbial communities that are structurally distinct from those of underlying bulk soil due to the presence of light. Previous studies in arid zones have demonstrated functional importance of these

Different Responses of Soil Bacterial Communities to Nitrogen Addition in Moss Crust
Bacterial communities in soil serve an important role in controlling terrestrial biogeochemical cycles and ecosystem processes. Increased nitrogen (N) deposition in Northwest China is generating quantifiable changes in many elements of the desert ...

Effect of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene on soil bacterial communities
To gain insight into the impact of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) on soil microbial communities, we characterized the bacterial community of several TNT-contaminated soils from two sites with different histories of contamination and concentrations of TNT.

Biogeographic distribution patterns of bacteria in typical Chinese forest soils
Microbes are widely distributed in soils and play a very important role in nutrient cycling and ecosystem services. To understand the biogeographic distribution of forest soil bacteria, we collected 115 soil samples in typical forest ecosystems across ...

Successive mineral nitrogen or phosphorus fertilization alone significantly altered bacterial community rather than bacterial biomass in plantation soil [PDF]
Bacteria play determining roles in forest soil environment and contribute to essential functions in the cycling of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P). Understanding the effects of different fertilizer applications, especially successive fertilization, on ...

Plants changed the response of bacterial community to the nitrogen and phosphorus addition ratio
IntroductionHuman activities have increased the nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) supply ratio of the natural ecosystem, which affects the growth of plants and the circulation of soil nutrients.

Soil bacterial community dynamics reflect changes in plant community and soil properties during the secondary succession of abandoned farmland in the Loess Plateau [PDF]
The effects of natural succession on plant communities and soil variables have been established, but changes in microbial communities and their response to plants and soils have not been well characterized in secondary succession.
