Relation between soil classification and bacterial diversity in soils of the Ross Sea region, Antarctica (2008, background): “Previously, bacterial ribotype dominance has been detected in soils from saturated subsurface environments, but not unsaturated surface samples (Zhou et al., 2002).”
Microbial Biogeography: Patterns in Microbial Diversity across Space and Time (2008, neutral): “Zhou et al. (2002) found that saturated subsurface soils contained less diverse bacterial communities than unsaturated soils and they attributed this difference to the increased patchiness of the unsaturated soils.”
Ecological and evolutionary forces shaping microbial diversity in the human intestine. (2006, neutral): “Selection on the host results in selection for pathogens that are not too virulent, and/or a microbial community that can prevent pathogens from building up the necessary population density to cause injury (Czuprynski and Balish, 1981; Zachar and Savage, 1979 ).”
Microbial Biodiversity in Groundwater Ecosystems (2009, background): “In unsaturated sediments, diversity might be higher than in otherwise similar but saturated sediments, because hydrological connectivity reduces habitat patchiness (Zhou et al., 2002).”
Methane Biogeochemistry and Methanogen Communities in Two Northern Peatland Ecosystems, New York State (2003, background): “Zhou et al. (2002) surveyed bacterial diversity patterns across a range of soils with varying organic carbon content and found evenness in surface regions and throughout depth in high-carbon soils, which they explained as a function of carbon resource heterogeneity.”
Pyrosequencing analysis for characterization of soil bacterial populations as affected by an integrated livestock-cotton production system (2010, background): “Previous studies have reported decreases in microbial diversity with increasing soil depth (Zhou et al., 2002; Neufeld and Mohn, 2005).”
Mechanism of hexavalent chromium detoxification by microorganisms and bioremediation application potential: A review (2007, background): “In the environment, Cr contamination alters the structure of soil microbial communities (Zhou et al., 2002; Turpeinen et al., 2004).”
Modeling Soil Processes: Review, Key Challenges, and New Perspectives (2016, background): “Biodiversity research in soils has failed generally to account for the soil habitat that controls many of the relevant processes that generate soil biodiversity, the probability of movement of microbes and higher organisms, and the probability of gene transfer and the impact of pathogens on crop pla”
Effects of above-ground plant species composition and diversity on the diversity of soil-borne microorganisms (2002, background): “diversity is fostered by spatial isolation of bacteria in low carbon topsoil environments (Zhou et al. 2002).”
Stochastic Community Assembly: Does It Matter in Microbial Ecology? (2017, background): “carbon and nutrient resource heterogeneity (40, 51), species traits and/or interspecies”
