Relative importance of soil properties and microbial community for soil functionality: insights from a microbial swap experiment (2016, background): “…critical roles in decompo- sition, nutrient cycling, primary productivity and climate regulation (van der Heijden, Bardgett & van Straalen 2008; Strickland et al. 2009; Bodelier 2011; Schimel & Schaeffer 2012; Bardgett & van der Putten 2014; Nemergut et al. 2013; Nemergut, Shade & Violle 2014).”
Soil pH mediates the balance between stochastic and deterministic assembly of bacteria (2018, background): “Understanding the fundamental ecological processes that shape the assembly of microbial communities is a major challenge in microbial ecology [1].”
Similar community assembly mechanisms underlie similar biogeography of rare and abundant bacteria in lakes on Yungui Plateau, China (2017, background): “The growing efforts in understanding these mechanisms mainly center on two schools of thought (Liao et al. 2016a,b; Sloan et al. 2006; Ofiţeru et al. 2010; Langenheder and Sz ekely 2011; Liao et al. 2016a,b; Lindstr€om and €Ostman 2011; Lindstr€om and Langenheder 2012; Nemergut et al. 2013).”
Global diversity and geography of soil fungi (2014, background): “Although morphological species of unicellular microbes are usually cosmopolitan (7), there is growing evidence that the distribution ofmicroorganisms is shaped by macroecological and community assembly processes (8).”
A general framework for quantitatively assessing ecological stochasticity (2019, background): “, random chance for colonization), and ecological drift (random changes in organism abundances) (2, 3, 5, 7, 8).”
Host Biology in Light of the Microbiome: Ten Principles of Holobionts and Hologenomes (2015, background): “If microbial community structure and dynamics are primarily stochastic, then community composition should not differ from expectations based on random community assembly models [142,143].”
Deterministic selection dominates microbial community assembly in termite mounds (2020, background): “Mounting evidence suggested that microbial communities can coexist in the environment with limiting resources and exhibit a signi cant biogeographic pattern from local to global scales [3, 4].”
Stochastic Community Assembly: Does It Matter in Microbial Ecology? (2017, background): “community assembly (67, 72, 108), but it is not accounted for in this framework (37).”
Assembly of seed-associated microbial communities within and across successive plant generations (2017, background): “Community assembly processes could be divided into four main forces: dispersal, diversification, ecological drift and selection (Nemergut et al. 2013).”
