The plant microbiomes play important role in plant growth promotion and soil fertility for
sustainable agriculture. Plant and soil are valuable natural resource harbouring hotspots of …

Most ecosystems are affected by anthropogenic or natural pulse disturbances, which alter
the community composition and functioning for a limited period of time. Whether and how …

Current global change is associated with an increase in disturbance frequency and intensity,
with the potential to trigger population collapses and to cause permanent transitions to new …

Testate amoebae are widely distributed in natural ecosystems and play an important role in
the material cycle and energy flow. However, community assembly of testate amoebae is not …

Biofertilizers are typically microbial formulations in organic carrier materials that improve soil
health and crop growth and development. Of late the use of biofertilizers has gained much …

Desertification often occurs in fragile steppe ecosystems, which may lead to severe soil
degradation. Understanding how soil microbial communities respond to desertification is …

Understanding the successional dynamics governing soil microbial community assembly
following disturbance can aid in developing remediation strategies for disturbed land …

Abstract Changes in species diversity often result from species losses and gains. The
dynamic nature of beta diversity (spatial variation in species composition) that derives from …

Barriers preventing species from dispersing to a location can have a major influence on how
communities assemble. Dispersal success may also depend on whether dispersers have to …

Understanding the effects of disturbance regimes on community assembly is an essential
issue in community ecology. Yet, little is known about how water regimes drive community …
