Soil microorganisms are relatively poorly studied in urban ecosystems, particularly within unmanaged woodlands that form island-like patches of vegetation. We surveyed soil bacteria on Salix spp. dominated riparian-like forest Kraków, the second largest city Poland, to find out which environmental factors influence their activities and functional diversity, measured using Biolog® ECO plates. Our results showed bacterial alpha including substrate richness (number substrates decomposed) Shannon were positively correlated with patch area number vascular plant species floor vegetation layer. However, beta diversity (substrate use pattern, CLPP - community level physiological profiles) was primarily driven by physicochemical properties. suggest positive effect (biogeographic effect) may be through stabilisation conditions, as amplitude fluctuations is reduced larger plots compared smaller ones. Taken together, our study provides important insights into relationship between area, properties, characteristics, activity, riparian forests, highlighting importance considering microbes when managing ecosystems.

Although ecotoxicology was emerging as a field through the 1970s, incorporation of microbial indicators into framework has been slower to evolve. The exploration microbes sensitive toxicity tests began in late 70s and early 80s (with emergence Microtox® other simple tests). However, applications have limited, beyond water wastewater screening. This opinion piece reflects my own perspective on field—from excitement 1990s for its possibilities, sense frustration at slow pace new development field—despite surge “omics” options. While microbiology still fails lead ecotoxicology, potential remains.
