Biogeographic patterns of microbial association networks in paddy soil within Eastern China (2020, background): “Microbial biogeography is the study of spatial distribution patterns of microbial communities and their responses to environmental changes (Martiny et al., 2006).”
Microbial biogeography of wine grapes is conditioned by cultivar, vintage, and climate (2013, background): “Given that many of the same environmental conditions that govern regional variations in grapevine growth and development (11) also alter microbial communities across space and time (1), it follows that biogeographical assemblages of grape-surface microbiota may exist, potentially influencing grapevi”
Testing the functional significance of microbial community composition. (2009, neutral): “Key words: bacteria; carbon mineralization; community composition; decomposition; functional diversity; functional equivalence; functional redundancy; fungi; leaf litter; microorganisms.”
Global diversity and distribution of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (2011, neutral): “Moreover, although much work has documented spatial, environmental, and biological mechanisms that limit the distributions of plants and animals (Lomolino et al., 2005), the roles of these factors in microbial biogeography are less clear (Martiny et al., 2006).”
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal diversity along a Tibetan elevation gradient (2012, positive): “A common assumption of microbial biogeography is that “everything is everywhere, but the environment selects” (Baas Becking 1934) and recent studies support the latter part of this statement for many groups of microbes (Martiny et al. 2006; Bryant et al. 2008; Djukic et al. 2010) including the data ”
Biogeographical patterns of soil molecular microbial biomass as influenced by soil characteristics and management (2011, neutral): “…have been intensively investigated for macroorganisms , have been demonstrated to be strongly dependent on geographical location and have been related to site temperature, latitude and other climatic variables and/or to geographical isolation (MacArthur & Wilson, 2001; Martiny et al., 2006).”
Litter quality is in the eye of the beholder: initial decomposition rates as a function of inoculum characteristics (2009, neutral): “Such knowledge will improve”
Microbial communities and their relevance for ecosystem models: Decomposition as a case study (2010, background): “However, it is not fully knownwhich microbes are dispersal-limited and which are ubiquitous (Martiny et al., 2006; Taylor et al., 2006; Jenkins et al., 2007).”
Unique community structure and biogeography of soybean rhizobia in the saline-alkaline soils of Xinjiang, China (2009, background): “A large body of research supports the idea that freeliving microbial taxa exhibit a clear biogeographic pattern (Martiny et al. 2006).”
Modelling the effect of size on the aerial dispersal of microorganisms (2012, neutral): “…different parts of the world (e.g. Fenchel et al., 1997; Foissner, 1997; Wilkinson, 2001; Yang et al., 2010) have failed to produce a consensus, and the same is true of similar studies of prokaryotes (for example, compare the results of Martiny et al. (2006) with those of Fierer & Jackson (2006)).”
