Comparison of Archaeal Communities in Mineral Soils at a Boreal Forest in Finland and a Cold-Temperate Forest in Japan
نویسندگان
چکیده
Archaeal communities in mineral soils were compared between a boreal forest in Finland and cold-temperate forest in Japan using 16S rRNA gene-targeted high-throughput sequencing. In boreal soils, Thaumarchaeota Group 1.1c archaea predominated and Thaumarchaeota Group 1.1a-associated and Group 1.1b archaea were also detected. In temperate soils, Thaumarchaeota Group 1.1a-associated and Group 1.1b archaea were dominant members at the subsurface, whereas their dominancy was replaced by Thermoplasmata archaea at the subsoil. An analysis of the ammonia monooxygenase subunit A gene of Archaea also indicated the distribution of Thaumarchaeota Group 1.1a-associated and Group 1.1b archaea in these soils.

8 Group 1.1c Crenarchaeota are the predominating archaeal group in acidic boreal forest soils. In this 9 study we show that the detection frequency of 1.1c crenarchaeotal 16S rRNA genes increased in the 10 rhizospheres of the boreal forest trees following colonisation by the ectomycorrhizal fungus Paxillus 11 involutus. This effect was very clear in the fine roots of Pinus sylvestris, Picea abi...
متن کاملI , Mycorrhizal Mat Communities in 3 Forest Soils
The role of ectomycorrhizal (EM) fungi in forest soil function and tree productivity has become an increasingly important topic for research in light of possible direct large-scale degradation of EM populations in the forests of Europe (Arnolds, 1991). Although there is a rapidly growing body of information being assembled from laboratory studies using pure culture syntheses, there is relativel...
متن کاملEstimating biomass for boreal forests using ASTER satellite data combined with standwise forest inventory data
In the present study, the suitability of optical ASTER satellite data (with 9 spectral bands) for estimating the biomass of boreal forest stands in mineral soils was tested. The remote sensing data were analysed and tested together with standwise forest inventory data. Stand volume estimates were converted to aboveground tree biomass using biomass expansion factors, and the aboveground biomass ...
متن کاملThe changing role of fire in mediating the relationships among oaks, grasslands, mesic temperate forests, and boreal forests in the Lake States
Historically, oak forests and woodlands intergraded with southern boreal forest, temperate mesic forest, and grassland biomes, forming complex fire-mediated relationships in the Great Lakes region of Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan, USA. Variability in fire recurrence intervals allowed oaks to mix with grasses or with mesic forest species in areas with high (2–10 yr) or moderate (several dec...
متن کاملUnexpectedly high bacterial diversity in arctic tundra relative to boreal forest soils, revealed by serial analysis of ribosomal sequence tags.
Arctic tundra and boreal forest soils have globally relevant functions that affect atmospheric chemistry and climate, yet the bacterial composition and diversity of these soils have received little study. Serial analysis of ribosomal sequence tags (SARST) and denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) were used to compare composite soil samples taken from boreal and arctic biomes. This stud...
