Impact of (±)-catechin on soil microbial communities [PDF]

open access: yesCommunicative & Integrative Biology, 2009
Catechin is a highly studied but controversial allelochemical reported as a component of the root exudates of Centaurea maculosa. Initial reports of high and consistent exudation rates and soil concentrations have been shown to be highly inaccurate, but the chemical has been found in root exudates at and much less frequently in soil but sporadically at

Succession of soil microbial community in a developing mid-channel bar: The role of environmental disturbance and plant community

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Succession of microbial and plant communities is crucial for the development and the stability of soil ecological functions. The relative role of plant communities and environmental disturbance in shaping the microbial community in a newly established ...

Links between soil microbial communities and plant traits in a species-rich grassland under long-term climate change [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Climate change can influence soil microorganisms directly by altering their growth and activity but also indirectly via effects on the vegetation, which modifies the availability of resources.

A coexisting fungal-bacterial community stabilizes soil decomposition activity in a microcosm experiment. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
How diversity influences the stability of a community function is a major question in ecology. However, only limited empirical investigations of the diversity-stability relationship in soil microbial communities have been undertaken, despite the ...

Short-term application of chicken manure under different nitrogen rates alters structure and co-occurrence pattern but not diversity of soil microbial community in wheat field

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Manure application is an effective way to improve the utilization efficiency of organic resources and alleviate the adverse effects of long-term application of chemical fertilizers. However, the impact of applying manure under different nitrogen rates on

Impact of Fumigants on Soil Microbial Communities [PDF]

open access: yesApplied and Environmental Microbiology, 2001
ABSTRACT Agricultural soils are typically fumigated to provide effective control of nematodes, soilborne pathogens, and weeds in preparation for planting of high-value cash crops. The ability of soil microbial communities to recover after treatment with fumigants was examined using culture-dependent (Biolog) and culture ...

The dynamic consequences of invasion: negative plant-soil feedbacks on natives increase ver the time course of invasion [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
*a) Background/Questions/Methods* Exotic species can negatively impact native community members, directly through interference competition, or indirectly by altering interactions between native species and other species such as pathogens and ...

Explore the soil factors driving soil microbial community and structure in Songnen alkaline salt degraded grassland

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2023
IntroductionSaline-alkali degradation in grassland significantly affects plant community composition and soil physical and chemical properties. However, it remains unclear whether different degradation gradients affect soil microbial community and the ...

Changes in vegetation types affect soil microbial communities in tropical islands of southern China

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Conservation, 2022
Soil microbial communities are the key drivers of nutrient cycling in ecosystems. However, the functional response of soil microbial community composition to contrasting vegetation types in tropical coral islands is still unclear.
