Microbiome definition re-visited: old concepts and new challenges (2020, background): “Keystone species are suggested to play a crucial role in diverse species interactions and to have a greater impact on the performance and dynamics of an ecosystem than other species [62].”
Biogeographic patterns of microbial association networks in paddy soil within Eastern China (2020, background): “As a result, manipulating keystone species of microbial network structures, including isolating, characterizing, removing and adding putative keystone species, could provide a promising approach for agriculture management to improve crops productivity (Banerjee et al., 2018).”
The effect of microbial inoculant origin on the rhizosphere bacterial community composition and plant growth-promotion (2020, background): “Lastly, some microbial inoculants may simply lack some important keystone species necessary for providing desired functions to the plant (Banerjee et al. 2018).”
Specialized metabolic functions of keystone taxa sustain soil microbiome stability (2021, background): “It has been proposed that the importance of keystone taxa may be related to the broadness of a process, referring to how many steps or diverse microbial groups are involved [18].”
Soil microbiomes and climate change (2019, neutral): “Network analysis enables visualization of co-occurring taxa and identification of potential keystone taxa that are highly connected in the network and whose removal would potentially be disruptive to microbiome function 68 .”
Soil microbial community and network changes after long-term use of plastic mulch and nitrogen fertilization on semiarid farmland (2021, background): “The keystone taxa always drive the structure and functioning of microbial communities (Banerjee et al., 2018).”
Agricultural intensification reduces microbial network complexity and the abundance of keystone taxa in roots (2018, background): “microbiome and their removal can cause significant changes in microbiome composition and 314 functioning [43, 44].”
