While the composition of these ecosystems can serve as baselines for future study, the interactions that researchers uncover when examining microbial community ecology are also important. They saw a need to encourage people to move into the next, next generation of microbial ecology (first generation microbial ecology was what the authors were "raised on" - culture plates, biochemistry, and an introduction to molecular and was built on pre-generation microbial ecology being all that came before, moving to the current, next-generation microbial ecology, which is what we are doing now and which incorporates next-generation sequencing [NGS]. The significantly more diverse meadow ecosystem was like diversity in the restored urban and suburban ecologies. c. B I Agriculture i b - The human practice of agriculture is an inherently disruptive process with regard to natural ecosystems. While this Special Issue (SI) entitled I The Role of Microbial Genomics in Restoration Ecology i does not claim to be an exhaustive review of current work spanning microbial ecology, restoration ecology, and genomics, the 25 manuscripts we have assembled for this issue represent a wide cross-section of current work being done on the topic.
