Forensic Comparison of Soils by Bacterial Community DNA Profiling

Journal of Forensic Sciences, 2002
Abstract This preliminary investigation has shown that a soil microbial community DNA profile can be obtained from the small sample of soil recovered from the sole of a shoe, and from soil stains on clothing. We have also shown that these profiles are representative of the site of collection and therefore could potentially be used as ...

Soil bacterial community dynamics reflect changes in plant community and soil properties during the secondary succession of abandoned farmland in the Loess Plateau

, 2016
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.

Soil bacterial community response to continuous cropping of cotton

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
IntroductionLong-term continuous cropping may result in the outbreak and proliferation of soil-borne diseases, as well as reduction in annual crop production. Overcoming the obstacles of continuous cropping is critical for the long-term growth of modern agriculture.

The influence of season, agricultural management, and soil properties on gross nitrogen transformations and bacterial community structure

, 2006
The aim of this study was to assess the influence of season, farm management (organic, biodynamic, integrated, and conventional), and soil chemical, physical, and biological properties on gross nitrogen (N) fluxes and bacterial community structure in the

Increased stability of a subtropic bamboo forest soil bacterial communities through integration of water and fertilizer management compared to conventional management

BMC Plant Biology
Background Conventional management (CM), substantial fertilization and flooding irrigation, has led to soil acidification, the decrease in soil bacterial diversity in bamboo forests.

Transition of Ethiopian highland forests to agriculture-dominated landscapes shifts the soil microbial community composition

BMC Ecology, 2018
Background Land use changes and related land management practices significantly alter soil physicochemical properties; however, their effects on the soil microbial community structure are still unclear.

Effect of metal oxide nanoparticles on microbial community structure and function in two different soil types. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Increased availability of nanoparticle-based products will, inevitably, expose the environment to these materials. Engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) may thus find their way into the soil environment via wastewater, dumpsters and other anthropogenic sources;

Microbial community composition of transiently wetted Antarctic Dry Valley soils [PDF]

, 2015
During the summer months, wet (hyporheic) soils associated with ephemeral streams and lake edges in the Antarctic Dry Valleys (DVs) become hotspots of biological activity and are hypothesized to be an important source of carbon and nitrogen for arid DV ...
