Rhizosphere-associated bacterial network structure and spatial distribution differ significantly from bulk soil in wheat crop fields (2017, methodology): “…designs and methods used to generate the microbial profiles, and historical contingencies or spatial distances have also been shown to influence the distribution of microbial community at regional (Griffiths et al., 2011), continental (Martiny et al., 2011), and global (Caruso et al., 2011) scales.”
What drives study‐dependent differences in distance–decay relationships of microbial communities? (2021, background): “…with smaller spatial extents are generally expected to follow power- law decay, although the spatial scales at which the distance– decay relationship follows either of these forms might also depend on the size of the study organisms (Luan et al., 2020; Martiny et al., 2011; Nekola & McGill, 2014).”
The spatial scaling of beta diversity (2013, background): “This debate centres on the relative roles of dispersal versus environmental selection in determining compositional variation through space, and thus levels of beta diversity at different spatial scales (Martiny et al., 2011).”
Quantifying community assembly processes and identifying features that impose them (2013, result): “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).”
Current measures for distance decay in similarity of species composition are influenced by study extent and grain size (2012, background): “Scale-dependent ecological and environmental processes were suggested as an explanation for the variation of distance– decay results with differences in grain and extent in empirical studies (Soininen et al., 2007, 2011; Girdler & Barrie, 2008; Maloney & Munguia, 2011; Martiny et al., 2011).”
The counteractive effects of nitrogen addition and watering on soil bacterial communities in a steppe ecosystem (2014, background): “ammoniaoxidizing bacteria) and the entire soil microbial/bacterial community as a whole have often been studied (Horz et al., 2004; Martiny et al., 2011; Zhang et al., 2011; Zhang and Han, 2012).”
Carbon content and climate variability drive global soil bacterial diversity patterns (2016, background): “…of soil properties such as pH (Fierer and Jackson 2006, Fierer et al. 2009, Lauber et al. 2009), spatial influence (Horner- Devine et al. 2004, Martiny et al. 2011, Hanson et al. 2012) and soil organic matter (Siciliano 2014, Maestre et al. 2015) as drivers of variation in soil microbial…”
