Rapid loss of glacial ice reveals stream community assembly processes (2012, background): “Such patterns have been proposed in some terrestrial primary succession studies (Kaufmann, 2001; Hodkinson et al., 2003; Tscherko et al., 2003) but assembly rules in these sequences remain to be tested formally using the combined biological trait and null modelling approaches adopted herein.”
The role of microorganisms at different stages of ecosystem development for soil formation (2013, background): “Interestingly, initial sites of the Damma Glacier and other alpine glaciers are dominated by forbs and grasses like Leucanthemopsis alpina , Agrostis giganteaor Cerastium uniflorum, whereas legumes like Lotus alpinusor Trifolium pallescens appear later in succession although their symbiosis with rhi”
Long-term changes in soil microbial communities during primary succession (2014, background): “Studies elsewhere have indicated that bacterial 561 communities can stabilise after a period of decades (e.g. Tscherko et al., 2003).”
Abundance of narG, nirS, nirK, and nosZ Genes of Denitrifying Bacteria during Primary Successions of a Glacier Foreland (2006, methodology): “In the past few years, studies have focused mainly on the composition and activities of the soil microbiota in primary succession of receding glaciers (19, 21, 24, 25).”
A temporal approach to linking aboveground and belowground ecology. (2005, background): “(Data from [ 32 ]); in Figure Ic, the ratio of active fungal to bacterial biomass increases significantly with increasing terrain age in front of”
Microbial community structure and ecology of subglacial sediments in two polythermal Svalbard glaciers characterized by epifluorescence microscopy and PLFA (2007, background): “In alpine glacier forefields bacterial abundance and functional diversity rose with increasing age of the soil, as well as carbon and nitrogen content (Sigler and Zeyer 2002; Sigler et al. 2002; Tscherko et al. 2003).”
Changes in the community structure and diversity of soil invertebrates across the Franz Josef Glacier chronosequence (2008, background): “These include studies on communities of microorganisms (Tscheko et al., 2003), mycorrhizal fungi (Jumpponen et al.”
Disentangling mechanisms that mediate the balance between stochastic and deterministic processes in microbial succession (2015, methodology): “To better understand mechanisms governing these patterns, we developed an ecological simulation model that revealed how changes in selective environments cause shifts in the stochastic/ deterministic balance.”
