Within geographic regions, the existing data suggest that physical habitat (bark, soil, etc.) is
the strongest factor determining agroecosystem microbial community assemblage, followed …

Natural ecosystems provide services to agriculture such as pest control, soil nutrients, and
key microbial components. These services and others in turn provide essential elements that …

The microbial biodiversity found in different vitivinicultural regions is an important
determinant of wine terroir. It should be studied and preserved, although it may, in the future …

While there are substantial studies suggesting that characteristics of wine are related to
regional microbial community composition (microbial terroir), there has been little discussion …

We have a limited understanding of the relative contributions of different processes that
regulate microbial communities, which are crucial components of both natural and …

Agricultural land use disturbs soil microbial communities, which can reduce crop production
and impair ecosystem functioning. We investigated the effects of viticulture on the diversity …

Microbial communities living in nine vineyards distributed over three altitudinal transects
were studied over 2 years. Fungal and bacterial community dynamics were explored using …

The new ecological approach to viticulture emphasises ecologically sound grape production
and recognizes the importance of grapevine (Vitis vinifera) interactions with soil microbial …

Aboveground ecological impacts associated with agricultural land use change are evident
as natural plant communities are replaced with managed production systems. These …

Background Despite their importance as a reservoir of biodiversity, the factors shaping soil
microbial communities and the extent by which these are impacted by cultivation are still …
