Meiofauna are ubiquitous in estuaries worldwide averaging 106 m− 2. Abundance and
species composition are controlled primarily by three physical factors: sediment particle size …

We compared the abilities of Biolog's GN and ECO plates to distinguish among aerobic and
heterotrophic bacterial communities in samples from six aquatic environments. The Biolog …

The elucidation of trophic relationships and the identification of sources and sinks of organic
matter are important steps for understanding the dynamics of aquatic ecosystems (Pimm et …

Soil management practices affect soil microbial communities, which in turn influence soil
ecosystem processes. In this study, the effects of conventional-(fall disking, chiseling and …

Microscopic examinations have convinced microbial ecologists that the culturable microbes
recovered from environmental samples represent a tiny proportion of the extant microbiota …

Disturbances typically associated with the study of soil microbial communities, ie, sieving,
storage, and subsequent incubation at elevated temperatures, were investigated with …

Résumé Ce papier passe en revue les applications des techniques biochimiques basées
sur les lipides pour caractériser les communautés microbiennes présentes dans les …

Few empirical studies have examined how microbial communities on decomposing litters
change in relation to litter chemistry or how microbial community composition is related to …

Wetlands in many inland catchments are being subjected to increasing salinity. To expand
our limited understanding of how increasing salinity will alter carbon and nutrient dynamics …

Forest nitrogen (N) retention and soil carbon (C) storage are influenced by tree species and
their associated soil microbial communities. As global change factors alter forest …
