Discovering novel bacterial strains might be the link to unlocking the value in lignocellulosic
bio-refinery as we strive to find alternative and cleaner sources of energy. Bacteria display …

Turf is an important component of the urban and rural landscape. The natural plant
formations/biomes that it mimics are the tropical savanna, the temperate grasslands (steppe …

Clarifying the response of soil microbial communities and their potential functions during
succession is of great significance for understanding the biogeochemical processes and the …

Revegetation of semiarid lands depends upon soil microbial communities to supply nutrients
for successive plant species, but microbial activity can be constrained by insufficient water …

The succession of microbial community structure and function is a central ecological topic;
however, the mechanisms that underlie community assembly and promote temporal …

Natural succession is an important process in terrestrial system, playing an important role in
enhancing soil quality and plant diversity. Soil bacteria is the linkage between soil and plant …

Microbial activities are the dynamic core in the soil nutrient cycle. To improve the
knowledges about the responses of soil microbial community structure and potential function …

Soil microbial metabolism is vital for nutrient cycling and ecosystem stability. To quantify
microbial metabolism and nutrient limitation during plant secondary succession, we …
