Biogeographic separation has been an important cause of faunal and floral distribution;
however, little is known about the differences in soil microbial communities across islands. In …

The diversity and composition of soil bacterial communities in four subtropical coastal forest
ecosystems were examined using 16S rRNA gene clone libraries. The communities were …

Background and Purpose: Forest soil microorganisms and fauna decompose the organic
materials, and thus strongly influence the nutrient cycling of the ecosystem. Soil …

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the diversity characteristics and distribution
patterns of forest soil microorganisms to provide a basis for the understanding soil microbial …

Forest soil microorganisms determine the energy flow and material cycle of forest
ecosystems, and their community structure and influencing factors are significant to maintain …

Soil bacteria are an important part of the microbial community. Previous studies on soil
bacteria along elevational gradients have mainly focused on different vegetation types and …

Soil microorganisms form an important component of the Earth's biosphere and play an
integral role in carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus cycling. Several biotic and abiotic factors …

Forest management often results in changes in the soil and its microbial communities. In the
present study, differences in the soil bacterial community caused by forest management …

Bacterial communities present in soils from the valley, middle-slope, and ridge sites of the
Fushan forest in Taiwan were characterized using 16S rDNA analysis of genomic DNA after …

Microbes are widely distributed in soils and play a very important role in nutrient cycling and
ecosystem services. To understand the biogeographic distribution of forest soil bacteria, we …
