Abstract

The biodiversity of soil bacteria varies depending on whether they are on the surface or below the surface, especially in low-carbon soils. Surface soils show a uniform diversity pattern, whereas saturated subsurface soils show a competitive diversity pattern. However, in high-carbon soils, microbial diversity is uniform regardless of its location or water content. more...

2. Microbial diversity and heterogeneity in sandy subsurface soils

Author

Abstract

The hypothesis that spatial isolation and resource heterogeneity are key mechanisms controlling microbial community diversity and structure is tested. The phylogenetic diversity of the microbial communities of five sandy subsurface soils from two geographically separated locations (Delaware and Virginia) is examined. more...
