A new study shows that transparent soil substitutes can be used to replicate the interactions of bacteria and fungi in soil, opening up a new approach to learning how soil microbes contribute to a healthy ecosystem. Research is only beginning to have the capacity to link soil organisms and specific ecosystem functions. Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci. Phylogenetic and Functional Diversity of Total (DNA) and Expressed (RNA) Bacterial Communities in Urban Green Infrastructure Bioswale Soils. The metabolic processes that sustain them, however, are poorly understood. Understanding how bacteria break down carbon in soil could hold the key to the sustainability of soil and the ability to predict the future of global climate.

Soil Ecology Letters (SEL) provides the rapid publication of original research articles of scientific significance that depict and explain ecological processes occurring in soil. Winogradsky (1856–1953) is recognized as the founder of soil microbiology for his contributions to nitrification, anaerobic N 2 fixation, sulfur oxidation, and microbial autotrophy. 92 No. Although it is generally accepted that the heterogeneity of soil underpins the emergence and maintenance of microbial diversity, the profound and far-reaching consequences that heterogeneity can have on many aspects of microbial ecology and activity have yet to be fully apprehended and have not been fully integrated into our understanding of microbial functioning. By applying the copiotroph–oligotroph concept to soil microorganisms we can make specific predictions about the ecological attributes of various bacterial taxa and better understand the structure and function of soil bacterial communities.

Better understanding of the connection between aboveground plant communities and belowground soil organisms and processes has led to an explosion in recent research on the applications of this link to the field of ecological restoration. This article is part of the theme issue 'Conceptual challenges in microbial community ecology'. Soil microbial diversity in adjacent forest systems – contrasting native, old growth kauri (Agathis australis) forest with exotic pine (Pinus radiata) plantation forest. Microbial Ecology is a dedicated international forum for the presentation of high-quality scientific investigations of how microorganisms interact with their environment, with each other and with their hosts. Yet the majority (estimates of up to ~80%) of these microorganisms are in a state of non-growth or dormancy for extended periods of time 1. Given the effects of environmental changes (e.g., climate change and human effect) on the diversity of animals and plants, effects on soil bacterial diversity are expected; however, they have been poorly evaluated to date. Soils harbor a diverse collection of microorganisms with estimates of 10 9-10 10 cells per gram of soil, and within that gram containing upwards of 1,000 species. 2006 Jun;17(6):1129-32. Transparent soil microcosms for live-cell imaging and non-destructive stable isotope probing of soil microorganisms. potential to answer multiple questions that not only advance our basic understanding of ecological principles, but Soil microorganisms have a profound effect on the transformations involved in a large number of biogeochemical cycles other than carbon (C) and nitrogen (N), such as the macronutrients phosphorus (P) and sulfur (S), and various micronutrients and environmental pollutants. mBio. degradation pathways; heterogeneity; soil C dynamics; spatial model; trade-off.

Finally, we present a simple, spatially explicit model that can be used to understand how the interactions between decomposers and environmental heterogeneity affect the bacterial decomposition of organic matter, suggesting that environmental heterogeneity might have important consequences on the variability of this process. Microbes, similar to plants and animals, exhibit biogeographic patterns. Microbial ecology of biological invasions. doi: 10.1128/AEM.00287-17. We then present an analysis of predicted metabolic pathways for soil bacteria, obtained from the MetaCyc pathway/genome database collection (https://metacyc.org/).

Epub 2011 Dec 23. van der Putten WH, Klironomos JN, Wardle DA. The analysis suggests that while there is a relationship between phylogenic affiliation and the catabolic range of soil bacterial taxa, there does not appear to be a trade-off between the 16S rRNA gene copy number, taken as a proxy of potential growth rate, of bacterial strains and the range of substrates that can be used. The Editors of Applied Soil Ecology would like to show appreciation to all researchers, practitioners and decision-makers dealing with soil with the upcoming World Soil Day 2020. In this contribution we first discuss how the heterogeneity of the soil microbial environment, and the consequent uncertainty associated with acquiring resources, may have affected how microbial metabolism, motility and interactions evolved and, ultimately, the overall microbial activity that is represented in ecosystem models, such as heterotrophic decomposition or respiration. Findings will help advance an important new paradigm in soil ecology – the importance of microscale processes and dynamics - and will carry fundamental implications for our ability to predict the response of soil microorganisms to environmental perturbations. The […] The microbial ecology of soils has the potential to answer multiple questions that not only advance our basic understanding of ecological principles, but are also relevant for the present focal areas of the anthropogenic effects, ecosystem productivity and other applied subjects.
