  2. 1. Microbial communities : descriptors of environmental change in marine ecosystems

    Author : Li Zhao; Agneta Andersson; Xiao-Ru Wang; Alexander Eiler; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : In northern marginal seas, like the northern Baltic Sea, climate change will lead to many alterations, for example increased inflows of nutrients and dissolved organic matter (DOM). Nutrients and DOM are fundamental drivers shaping marine microbial communities, including both bacterial and phytoplankton populations. READ MORE

  4. 2. Microbial Communities in Boreal Peatlands : Responses to Climate Change and Atmospheric Nitrogen and Sulfur Depositions

    Author : Magalí Martí Genero; Bo Svensson; Åsa Danielsson; Torben Christensen; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Microbial communities; methanogens; plant communities; peatland; temperature; nitrogen; long-term; field experiment; high-throughput sequencing; Microbiella samhällen; metanogener; växtsamhällen; myrar; torv; temperatur; kväve; långtid; fältexperiment; high-throughput-sekvensering;

    Abstract : Myrmarker har en stor roll i regleringen av den globala kolbalansen och koncentrationerna av koldioxid och metan i atmosfären, vilket gör dem till speciellt viktiga ekosystem ur ett klimatförandringsperspektiv. Förändringar av myrmarker genom naturlig utveckling eller antropogen påverkan kan därför få långtgående störningar av myrars klimatreglerande funktion. READ MORE

  5. 3. Microbial communities in biological electrochemical systems

    Author : Marie Abadikhah; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; viruses; microbial ecology. microbial electrolysis cells; bioelectrochemical system; biocathode; bioanode; microbial community assembly;

    Abstract : Biological electrochemical systems (BES) can be used as biosensors and for recovery of resources from waste streams. BES utilizes microbial communities that grow on the surface of electrodes in the form of biofilms. READ MORE

  6. 4. The hidden half of the meadow : Interactions between drought, soil carbon, roots and soil microbial communities

    Author : Daniela Guasconi; Gustaf Hugelius; Sara Cousins; Stefano Manzoni; Petra Fransson; David Johnson; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; soil; soil carbon; soil ecology; roots; root traits; microbial communities; grasslands; climate change; drought; land management; compost; naturgeografi; Physical Geography;

    Abstract : Soil is a hidden ecosystem which harbours plant roots and countless microorganisms, vital for sustaining life aboveground. These belowground communities provide essential ecosystem services like soil stabilisation and organic matter decomposition. READ MORE

  7. 5. Diversity of soil microbial communities: In the perspective of targeting functional genes

    Author : Lokeshwaran Manoharan; Biodiversitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Soil; metagenomics; sequence capture; microbial communities; functional diversity; taxonomic diversity;

    Abstract : Abstract Intensive land use in agriculture can lead to higher loss of biodiversity in soils and subsequently carbon due to tillage and application of pesticides and fertilizers. The microbial communities are pivotal to ecosystem processes in soil such as nutrient cycling, soil formation and plant productivity and thus are affected by land use. READ MORE
