How Do Soil Bacterial Diversity and Community Composition Respond under Recommended and Conventional Nitrogen Fertilization Regimes?

Microorganisms, 2020
Shifts in soil bacterial diversity and community composition are suggested to be induced by elevated input of nitrogen (N) fertilization with implications for soil quality, and consequently production.

Impacts of Grazing Intensity and Plant Community Composition on Soil Bacterial Community Diversity in a Steppe Grassland. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Soil bacteria play a key role in the ecological and evolutionary responses of agricultural ecosystems. Domestic herbivore grazing is known to influence soil bacterial community.

Differential distribution patterns and assembly processes of soil microbial communities under contrasting vegetation types at distinctive altitudes in the Changbai Mountain

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
Diversity patterns and community assembly of soil microorganisms are essential for understanding soil biodiversity and ecosystem processes. Investigating the impacts of environmental factors on microbial community assembly is crucial for comprehending ...

Spatial scale drives patterns in soil bacterial diversity [PDF]

Environmental Microbiology, 2016
Summary Soil microbial communities are essential for ecosystem function, but linking community composition to biogeochemical processes is challenging because of high microbial diversity and large spatial variability of most soil characteristics.

Light structures phototroph, bacterial and fungal communities at the soil surface [PDF]

, 2013
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

Disentangling the mixed effects of soil management on microbial diversity and soil functions: A case study in vineyards

Scientific Reports, 2023
Promoting soil functioning by maintaining soil microbial diversity and activity is central for sustainable agriculture. In viticulture, soil management often includes tillage, which poses a multifaceted disturbance to the soil environment and has direct ...

Bacterial diversity in soils of different Hungarian karst areas [PDF]

Acta Microbiologica et Immunologica Hungarica, 2018
Karst areas have great environmental importance as sources of subsurface water and often maintain very sensitive ecosystems. In recent years, increasing number of microbiological studies focused on the bacterial communities of karst soils. In this study, diversity examinations on two distinct Hungarian karst areas, Aggtelek and Tapolca, were performed ...

Seasonal climate variations promote bacterial α-diversity in soil [PDF]

Microbial Ecology, 2020
Abstract Ecological theory suggests that temporal environmental fluctuations can contribute greatly to diversity maintenance. Given bacteria’s short generation time and rapid responses to environmental change, seasonal climate fluctuations are very likely to play an important role in maintaining the extremely high α-diversity of soil ...

Empirical and Theoretical Bacterial Diversity in Four Arizona Soils [PDF]

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2002
ABSTRACT Understanding patterns of biodiversity in microbial communities is severely constrained by the difficulty of adequately sampling these complex systems. We illustrate the problem with empirical data from small surveys (200-member 16S rRNA gene clone libraries) of four bacterial soil communities from two locations in ...

It is elemental: soil nutrient stoichiometry drives bacterial diversity [PDF]

Environmental Microbiology, 2017
Summary It is well established that resource quantity and elemental stoichiometry play major roles in shaping below and aboveground plant biodiversity, but their importance for shaping microbial diversity in soil remains unclear. Here, we used statistical modeling on a regional database covering 179 locations and six ecosystem types ...
