Within a landscape, multiple habitats exist for soil microbial communities. But how these
habitats shape community composition requires an understanding of the way in which …

Soil microbial communities are responsive to abiotic and biotic conditions within the
heterogeneous soil environment. In montane plant communities, vegetation can create …

Soil microbial communities are essential for ecosystem function, but linking community
composition to biogeochemical processes is challenging because of high microbial diversity …

A fieldwork was carried out in Caesarea sand dunes, Israel, to determine the influence of
fine-scale landscape-patch abiotic-factor heterogeneity on microbial activity in a …

Mountain ecosystems are characterized by a diverse range of climatic and topographic
conditions over short distances and are known to shelter a high biodiversity. Despite …

Despite the relevance of landscape, regarding the spatial patterning of microbial
communities and the relative influence of environmental parameters versus human …

Many soils are deep, yet soil below 20 cm remains largely unexplored. Exotic plants can
have shallower roots than native species, so their impact on microorganisms is anticipated …

The soil microbial community is essential for maintaining ecosystem functioning and is
intimately linked with the plant community. Yet, little is known on how soil microbial …

Soil ecologists have debated the relative importance of dispersal limitation and ecological
factors in determining the structure of soil microbial communities. Recent evidence suggests …

Environmental circumstances shaping soil microbial communities have been studied
extensively. However, due to disparate study designs, it has been difficult to resolve whether …
