Multiple environmental controls explain global patterns in soil animal communities [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Soil animals play important roles in ecosystem functioning and stability, but the environmental controls on their communities are not fully understood. In this study, we compiled a dataset of soil animal communities for which the abundance and body mass ...

Soil microbial community responses to climate extremes: resistance, resilience and transitions to alternative states

open access: yesPhilosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Biological Sciences, 2020
A major challenge for advancing our understanding of the functional role of soil microbial communities is to link changes in their structure and function under climate change.

Forest succession improves the complexity of soil microbial interaction and ecological stochasticity of community assembly: Evidence from Phoebe bournei-dominated forests in subtropical regions

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Forest succession is a central ecological topic, due to the importance of the associated dynamic processes for terrestrial ecosystems. However, very little is currently known about the community assembly and interaction of soil microbial communities ...

Microbial carbon mineralization in tropical lowland and montane forest soils of Peru [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Climate change is affecting the amount and complexity of plant inputs to tropical forest soils. This is likely to influence the carbon (C) balance of these ecosystems by altering decomposition processes e.g., "positive priming effects" that accelerate ...

Ozonated water effect on soil microbial biomass and diversity

open access: yes上海师范大学学报. 自然科学版, 2018
Research on soil microbial biomass and diversity by spraying ozonated water of different concentrations contrast with water and chlorothalonil.We used the microbial diversity of high-throughput sequencing platform MisSeq 2 bp×300 bp and analyzed the

Changes and Correlation Between Physiological Characteristics of Rhododendron simsii and Soil Microbial Communities Under Heat Stress

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2022
The relationship between Rhododendron simsii and its soil microbial community under heat stress was not clear. In this study, the effects of heat stress on the physiological characteristics, soil physicochemical properties and soil microbial community ...

Geobacter, Anaeromyxobacter and Anaerolineae populations are enriched on anodes of root exudate-driven microbial fuel cells in rice field soil [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Plant-based sediment microbial fuel cells (PMFCs) couple the oxidation of root exudates in living rice plants to current production. We analysed the composition of the microbial community on anodes from PMFC with natural rice field soil as substratum for

A predatory myxobacterium controls cucumber Fusarium wilt by regulating the soil microbial community

open access: yesMicrobiome, 2020
Myxobacteria are micropredators in the soil ecosystem with the capacity to move and feed cooperatively. Some myxobacterial strains have been used to control soil-borne fungal phytopathogens.
