Root controls on soil microbial community structure in forest soils

Oecologia, 2006
We assessed microbial community composition as a function of altered above- and belowground inputs to soil in forest ecosystems of Oregon, Pennsylvania, and Hungary as part of a larger Detritus Input and Removal Treatment (DIRT) experiment. DIRT plots, which include root trenching, aboveground litter exclusion, and doubling of litter inputs, have been ...

Soil Microbial Communities of Eastern Antarctica

Moscow University Biological Sciences Bulletin, 2018
Investigation of microbial communities of Antarctica soils is a very important field of research that expands our knowledge of microbial participation in primary soil formation and specific features of their communities in extreme habitats, and it is of considerable interest in directed search of for microorganisms as potential biotechnological objects.

Effect of pesticides on soil microbial community

Journal of Environmental Science and Health, Part B, 2010
According to guidelines for the approval of pesticides, information about effects of pesticides on soil microorganisms and soil fertility are required, but the relationships of different structures of pesticides on the growth of various groups of soil microorganisms are not easily predicted.

Soil microbial community and defences

The intricate relationship between plants and their environment has fascinated scientists and naturalists for centuries. As foundational components of ecosystems, plants play a crucial role in maintaining the balance of nature, influencing climate, supporting diverse life forms, and contributing to the Earth's biogeochemical cycles. Equally captivating

Flooding effects on soil microbial communities

Applied Soil Ecology, 2009
Abstract Flooding affects both above- and below-ground ecosystem processes. While the below-ground changes may be less obvious, they are as important as the above-ground changes. Soil microorganisms are sensitive to disturbance, and shifts in soil microbial community structure are expected when anaerobic conditions develop from flooding.

Drivers of microbial community structure in forest soils

Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2018
Forests are essential biomes for global biogeochemical cycles, and belowground microorganisms have a key role in providing relevant ecosystem services. To predict the effects of environmental changes on these ecosystem services requires a comprehensive understanding of how biotic and abiotic factors drive the composition of microbial communities in ...

Soil and plant effects on microbial community structure

Canadian Journal of Microbiology, 2002
We investigated the effects of two different plant species (corn and soybean) and three different soil types on microbial community structure in the rhizosphere. Our working hypothesis was that the rhizosphere effect would be strongest on fast-growing aerobic heterotrophs, while there would be little or no rhizosphere effect on oligotrophic and other ...
