Enteropathogen survival in soil from different land-uses is predominantly regulated by microbial community composition [PDF]

, 2015
peer-reviewedMicrobial enteropathogens can enter the environment via landspreading of animal slurries and manures. Biotic interactions with the soil microbial community can contribute to their subsequent decay.

Nematodes enhance plant growth and nutrient uptake under C and N-rich conditions [PDF]

, 2016
The role of soil fauna in crucial ecosystem services such as nutrient cycling remains poorly quantified, mainly because of the overly reductionistic approach adopted in most experimental studies.

Priority effects largely determine the consequences of soil microbial community coalescence

Geoderma
Priority effects play critical roles in microbial community assembly but remain underexplored in soil systems. Here, we investigated their influence on soil microbial community coalescence via microcosm experiments based on soils collected from six sites

Microbial community interactions determine the mineralization of soil organic phosphorus in subtropical forest ecosystems

Microbiology Spectrum
In subtropical forest ecosystems with few phosphorus (P) inputs, P availability and forest productivity depend on soil organic P (Po) mineralization.

Soil microbes and community coalescence [PDF]

, 2016
Community coalescence is a recently introduced term describing the interaction of entire communities and their environments. We here explicitly place the concept of community coalescence in a soil microbial context, exploring intrinsic and extrinsic ...

Can Transgenic Maize Affect Soil Microbial Communities?

PLoS Computational Biology, 2005
The aim of the experiment was to determine if temporal variations of belowground activity reflect the influence of the Cry1Ab protein from transgenic maize on soil bacteria and, hence, on a regulatory change of the microbial community (ability to metabolize sources belonging to different chemical guilds) and/or a change in numerical abundance of their ...

Interactive Effects of Precipitation and Nitrogen on Soil Microbial Communities in a Desert Ecosystem

Microorganisms
Increased precipitation and nitrogen (N) deposition critically influence ecological processes and stability in desert ecosystems. Studying how the soil microbial community responds to these climatic changes will improve our understanding of the impacts ...

The effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and Rhizophagus irregularis on soil microorganisms assessed by metatranscriptomics and metaproteomics

, 2019
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) form symbioses with approximately 80% of plant species and potentially benefit their hosts (e.g. nutrient acquisition) and the soil environment (e.g. soil aggregation).

Effect of biochars pyrolyzed in N2 and CO2, and feedstock on microbial community in metal(loid)s contaminated soils [PDF]

, 2019
Little is known about the effects of applying amendments on soil for immobilizing metal(loid)s on the soil microbial community. Alterations in the microbial community were examined after incubation of treated contaminated soils.

Seasonal Changes in Soil Microbial Community and Co-Occurrence Network of Species of the Genus Corylus

Microorganisms, 2021
Hazelnut is one of the four major nuts in the world and has high nutritional and economic value. This study employed Illumina sequencing of ITS rDNA and 16S rRNA genes to identify the seasonal changes in soil microbial community, the predominant ...
