Quantifying community assembly processes and identifying features that impose them (2013, background): “This result adds to a growing literature showing an important influence of Dispersal Limitation in microbial systems (for example, Dumbrell et al., 2010; Martiny et al., 2011).”
Microbial control over carbon cycling in soil (2012, background): “For example, within the phylum Glomeromycota (the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi), soil pH may select more strongly than host plant for the specific taxa present (Dumbrell et al., 2010); within the bacteria, Clostridium spp.”
Rhizosphere-associated bacterial network structure and spatial distribution differ significantly from bulk soil in wheat crop fields (2017, background): “Some studies have shown that both deterministic and neutral processes operate in structuring the same microbial community (Dumbrell et al., 2010; Caruso et al., 2011; Ferrenberg et al., 2013).”
Phylogenetic structure of arbuscular mycorrhizal community shifts in response to increasing soil fertility (2015, background): “Second, because species of AM fungi have different niches and are known to prefer to inhabit different soil conditions (Schechter and Bruns, 2008; Alguacil et al., 2010; Dumbrell et al., 2010), fertilization may directly select taxa that grow best in the enriched conditions.”
Nitrogen deposition and precipitation induced phylogenetic clustering of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal communities (2017, background): “…would influence AMF communities by affecting soil pH. Water may wash away Hþ ions from the surface layer to deep soil horizons, and affect surface soil pH. Shifts in soil pH could lead to niche differentiation and structure AMF communities (van Aarle et al., 2002; Dumbrell et al., 2010).”
Efficacy of Biofertilizers: Challenges to Improve Crop Production (2016, background): “The fi eld surveys of AMF communities in a wide range of soil pH suggest that it is also the major driving force for structuring these communities (Dumbrell et al. 2010 ; Wang et al. 1993 ), thus affecting the colonization potential, and effi cacy, of all kinds of PGPM included in biofertilizers.”
Stochastic Community Assembly: Does It Matter in Microbial Ecology? (2017, background): “Recently, neutral models have been applied to microbial communities in bioreactors (32, 36, 177, 178, 193), soils (64, 71, 157), lakes (194), and animal and human gut (195–197), but divergent”
