Microbial Functional Gene Diversity Predicts Groundwater Contamination and Ecosystem Functioning
Contamination from anthropogenic activities has significantly impacted Earth's biosphere. However, knowledge about how environmental contamination affects the biodiversity of groundwater microbiomes and ecosystem functioning remains very limited. Here, we used a comprehensive functional gene array to analyze groundwater microbiomes from 69 wells at the Oak Ridge Field Research Center (Oak Ridge...
متن کاملMaintenance of soil functioning following erosion of microbial diversity.
The paradigm that soil microbial communities, being very diverse, have high functional redundancy levels, so that erosion of microbial diversity is less important for ecosystem functioning than erosion of plant or animal diversity, is often taken for granted. However, this has only been demonstrated for decomposition/respiration functions, performed by a large proportion of the total microbial ...
متن کاملeffect of agro-ecosystem management on soil organic matter and on diversity and abundance of soil invertebrates
soil quality is the most suitable index to an assessment of the stability of terrestrial ecosystems, especially agro-ecosystems. to determine the effects of agricultural practices on soil organic matter, species richness and abundance of soil invertebrates, a study was conducted in three regions of razavi and northern khorasan provinces, iran. soil were taken from in each winter wheat field of ...
متن کاملMicrobial diversity and soil functions
Soil is a complex and dynamic biological system, and still in 2003 it is difficult to determine the composition of microbial communities in soil. We are also limited in the determination of microbially mediated reactions because present assays for determining the overall rate of entire metabolic processes (such as respiration) or specific enzyme activities (such as urease, protease and phosphom...
متن کاملEffect of ocean acidification on microbial diversity and on microbe-driven biogeochemistry and ecosystem functioning
The ocean absorbs about 25% of anthropogenic CO2 emissions, which alters its chemistry. Among the changes of the carbonate system are an increase in the partial pressure of CO2 (pCO2) and a decline of pH; hence, the whole process is often referred to as ‘ocean acidification’. Many microbial processes can be affected either directly or indirectly via a cascade of effects through the response of ...
