Greatest soil microbial diversity found in micro-habitats

Journal Article Bach, Elizabeth M. ; Williams, Ryan J. ; Hargreaves, Sarah K. ; ... - Soil Biology and Biochemistry

Microbial interactions occur in habitats much smaller than typically considered in classic ecological studies. This study uses soil aggregates to examine soil microbial community composition and structure of both bacteria and fungi at a microbially relevant scale. Aggregates were isolated from three land management systems in central Iowa, USA to test if aggregate-level microbial responses were sensitive to large-scale shifts in plant community and management practices. Bacteria and fungi exhibited similar patterns of community structure and diversity among soil aggregates, regardless of land management. Microaggregates supported more diverse microbial communities, both taxonomically and functionally. Calculation of a weighted proportional wholemore »« less

Microbial Community Shifts Reflect Losses of Native Soil Carbon with Pyrogenic and Fresh Organic Matter Additions and Are Greatest in Low-Carbon Soils

Journal Article Whitman, Thea ; DeCiucies, Silene ; Hanley, Kelly ; ... - Applied and Environmental Microbiology

ABSTRACT Soil organic carbon (SOC) plays an important role in regulating global climate change, carbon and nutrient cycling in soils, and soil moisture. Organic matter (OM) additions to soils can affect the rate at which SOC is mineralized by microbes, with potentially important effects on SOC stocks. Understanding how pyrogenic organic matter (PyOM) affects the cycling of native SOC (nSOC) and the soil microbes responsible for these effects is important for fire-affected ecosystems as well as for biochar-amended systems. We used an incubation trial with five different soils from National Ecological Observatory Network sites across the United States and ¹³more »« less

Spatio-temporal microbial community dynamics within soil aggregates

Journal Article Upton, Racheal N. ; Bach, Elizabeth M. ; Hofmockel, Kirsten S. - Soil Biology and Biochemistry

Soil microbial communities are highly spatially organized, shaped in part by the structure of soil itself. Understanding how spatially discrete microbial communities change across years and seasons in response to environmental factors, plant phenology and aggregate turnover, is key to understanding how varying management practices impact the ecology of soil microbial communities. We investigated both seasonal (within year) and annual (across sampling years) changes of discrete microbial communities in soil aggregate fractions, large macroaggregates (LM) and microaggregates (MICRO) in three different bioenergy management systems. We hypothesized that 1) seasonal changes due to plant phenology and aggregate turnover will be mostmore »« less

Microbial diversity in soil: A microscopic world under every footstep -- chapter 13 in the book "Biodiversity Conservation Handbook: State, Local, and Private Protection of Biological Diversity," Environmental Law Institute, Washington, DC, 2006, pp.159-174

Book Edenborn, H M ; Edenborn, S L

Powerful methods that can be used to explore and better surmise the role of microorganisms in the environment have only been developed in the last 20 years, and the discoveries being made with these techniques have been revolutionary compared to those of the previous century. These new molecular tools now enable us to better categorize microbial life and determine its diversity. The importance of the ecosystem and economic functions served by microorganisms further suggests that microbial diversity should be considered as an important, if unseen, component of biodiversity, and that consideration of microbial diversity is an essential element of anymore » program to conserve biodiversity.« less
Synthetic Soil Aggregates: Bioprinted Habitats for High-Throughput Microbial Metaphenomics

Journal Article Smercina, Darian N. ; Zambare, Neerja M. ; Hofmockel, Kirsten S. ; ... - Microorganisms

The dynamics of microbial processes are difficult to study in natural soil, owing to the small spatial scales on which microorganisms operate and to the opacity and chemical complexity of the soil habitat. To circumvent these challenges, we have created a 3D-bioprinted habitat that mimics aspects of natural soil aggregates while providing a chemically defined and translucent alternative culturing method for soil microorganisms. Our Synthetic Soil Aggregates (SSAs) retain the porosity, permeability, and patchy resource distribution of natural soil aggregates—parameters that are expected to influence emergent microbial community interactions. We demonstrate the printability and viability of several different microorganisms withinmore »« less
