Aim The spatial organization of soil microbial communities on large scales and the identification of environmental factors structuring their distribution have been little investigated. The overall objective of this study was to determine the spatial patterning of microbial biomass in soils over a wide extent and to rank the environmental filters most influencing this distribution.

Earthworm indicators as tools for soil monitoring, characterization and risk assessment. An example from the national Bioindicator programme (France) (2011, unknown): “2007; Cluzeau et al. 2009; Gardi et al. 2009; Rutgers et al. 009; Dequiedt et al. 2011).”
Seasonal controls on grassland microbial biogeography: Are they governed by plants, abiotic properties or both? (2014, background): “Edaphic factors have been shown to exert the strongest influences on microbial community composition at regional and continental scales (Fierer and Jackson, 2006; Lauber et al., 2008; Dequiedt et al., 2011; Griffiths et al., 2011; Sayer et al., 2013).”
Total and active microbial communities and phoD as affected by phosphate depletion and pH in soil (2016, background): “Soil properties and vegetation fundamentally shape the microbial community by affecting its composition, diversity and functioning (Berg and Smalla 2009; Dequiedt et al. 2011).”
Bacterial communities in soil mimic patterns of vegetative succession and ecosystem climax but are resilient to change between seasons (2013, methodology): “The tree species canopy cover was estimated by fitting the DBH measurement into a conifer crown radius model (Dequiedt et al., 2011).”
Global drivers and patterns of microbial abundance in soil (2013, background): “High C-N ratios tend to indicate low organic matter decomposability, whereas higher substrate quality enhances microbial activity and growth (Parton et al., 2007; Dequiedt et al., 2011).”
Fungal communities are more sensitive indicators to non-extreme soil moisture variations than bacterial communities (2015, methodology): “, 2000) defined by Dequiedt et al. (2011) as the molecular microbial biomass.”
