Dispersal is a fundamental community assembly process that maintains soil microbial
biodiversity across spatial and temporal scales, yet the impact of dispersal on ecosystem …

Community assembly describes how different ecological processes shape microbial
community composition and structure. How environmental factors impact community …

For microbiome biology to become a more predictive science, we must identify which
descriptive features of microbial communities are reproducible and predictable, which are …

Microbial communities associated with plant leaf surfaces (ie, the phyllosphere) are
increasingly recognized for their role in plant health. While accumulating evidence suggests …

How diversity is structured has been a central goal of microbial ecology. In freshwater
ecosystems, selection has been found to be the main driver shaping bacterial communities …

Coupling anammox with denitrification processes are promising technologies for total
nitrogen removal from wastewater. However, the assembly processes and interactions of …

In community ecology, drift refers to random births and deaths in a population. In microbial
ecology, drift is estimated indirectly via community snapshots but in this way, it is almost …

Riverbank filtration has gained increasing importance for balancing rising groundwater
demands and securing drinking water supplies. While microbial communities are the pillar of …

Glacier-fed streams (GFSs) are extreme and rapidly vanishing ecosystems, and yet they
