The use of seawater and production of some chemicals produce a lot of saline wastewater.
There are many treatment technologies for treating saline wastewater, such as physical …

A recently discovered paradoxical maximum of planktonic protistan species in the salinity
gradient of the Baltic Sea revealed an inverse trend of species number/salinity relation in …

The ecological consequences of soil salinization, one of the major causes of soil
degradation worldwide, on soil carbon (C) emissions are well known, but less is known …

The mechanisms underlying community assembly and promoting temporal succession are
often overlooked in microbial ecology. Here, we studied an undisturbed salt marsh …

Microbial communities in extreme environments often have low diversity and specialized
physiologies suggesting a limited resistance to change. The McMurdo Dry Valleys (MDV) …

Lakes receive large amounts of terrestrially derived dissolved organic matter (tDOM).
However, little is known about how aquatic microbial communities interact with tDOM in …

The mechanisms of community assembly are a central focus in the field of microbial ecology.
However, to what extent these mechanisms differ in importance by traits of groups is poorly …

Eukaryotic microbes (protists) residing in the vertebrate gut influence host health and
disease, but their diversity and distribution in healthy hosts is poorly understood. Protists …

Salinity is one of the most important environmental factors influencing bacterial plankton
communities in lake waters, while its influence on bacterial interactions has been less …

Soil microbial communities are crucial in maintaining the functions of wetland ecosystems.
Understanding the microbial community structure and the key factors driving the …
