Globally, forests represent highly productive ecosystems that act as carbon sinks where soil organic matter is formed from residuals after biomass decomposition well rhizodeposited carbon. Forests exhibit a high level of spatial heterogeneity and the importance trees, dominant primary producers, for their structure functioning. Fungi, bacteria archaea inhabit various forest habitats: foliage, wood living bark surface, ground vegetation, roots rhizosphere, litter, soil, deadwood, rock surfaces, invertebrates, wetlands or atmosphere, each which has its own specific features, such nutrient availability temporal dynamicy drivers affect microbial abundance, dominance fungi composition communities. However, several microorganisms, in particular fungi, even connect multiple habitats, most ecosystem processes habitats. are dynamic on broad scale with ranging short-term events over seasonal dynamics to long-term stand development disturbances fires insect outbreaks.

Forest Soil Bacteria: Diversity, Involvement in Ecosystem Processes, and Response to Global Change

Microbiology and Molecular Biology Reviews, Journal Year: 2017, Volume and Issue: 81(2)

Published: April 12, 2017

The ecology of forest soils is an important field research due to the role forests as carbon sinks. Consequently, a significant amount information has been accumulated concerning their ecology, especially for temperate and boreal forests. Although most studies have focused on fungi, soil bacteria also play roles in this environment. In soils, inhabit multiple habitats with specific properties, including bulk soil, rhizosphere, litter, deadwood habitats, where communities are shaped by nutrient availability biotic interactions. Bacteria contribute range essential processes involved cycling carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus. They take part decomposition dead plant biomass highly fungal mycelia. rhizospheres trees, interact roots mycorrhizal fungi commensalists or mycorrhiza helpers. mediate critical steps nitrogen cycle, N fixation. Bacterial respond effects global change, such climate warming, increased levels dioxide, anthropogenic deposition. This response, however, often reflects specificities each studied ecosystem, it still impossible fully incorporate into predictive models. understanding bacterial advanced dramatically recent years, but incomplete. exact extent contribution ecosystem will be recognized only future, when activities all community members simultaneously.

Ecology of Nitrogen Fixing, Nitrifying, and Denitrifying Microorganisms in Tropical Forest Soils

Frontiers in Microbiology, Journal Year: 2016, Volume and Issue: 7

Soil microorganisms play important roles in nitrogen cycling within forest ecosystems. Current research has revealed that a wider variety of microorganisms, with unexpected diversity their functions and phylogenies, are involved the cycle than previously thought, including nitrogen-fixing bacteria, ammonia-oxidizing bacteria archaea, heterotrophic nitrifying anammox as well denitrifying archaea fungi. However, vast majority this been focused temperate regions, relatively little is known regarding ecology nitrogen-cycling tropical subtropical Tropical forests characterized by high precipitation, low annual temperature fluctuation, heterogeneity plant diversity, large amounts litter, unique soil chemistry. For these reasons, regulation may be very different from This great importance because growing concerns effect land use change chronic-elevated deposition on processes forests. In context global change, it crucial to understand how environmental factors changes ecosystems influence composition, abundance activity key players cycle. review, we synthesize limited currently available information microbial communities fixation, nitrification denitrification, provide deeper insight into mechanisms regulating We also highlight gaps our understanding microbially mediated soils identify areas for future research.

Nanoplastics Disturb Nitrogen Removal in Constructed Wetlands: Responses of Microbes and Macrophytes

Nanosized plastics (nanoplastics) releasing into the wastewater may pose a potential threat to biological nitrogen removal. Constructed wetland (CW), treatment or shore buffer system, is an important sink of nanoplastics, while it unclear how removal in CWs occurs response nanoplastics. Here, we investigated effects polystyrene (PS) nanoplastics (0, 10, and 1000 μg/L) on for 180 days CWs. The results revealed that total efficiency decreased by 29.5–40.6%. We found PS penetrated cell membrane destroyed both integrity reactive oxygen species balance. Furthermore, inhibited microbial activity vivo, including enzyme (ammonia monooxygenase, nitrate reductase, nitrite reductase) activities electron transport system (ETSA). These adverse effects, accompanied decline relative abundance nitrifiers (e.g., Nitrosomonas Nitrospira) denitrifiers Thauera Zoogloea), directly accounted strong deterioration observed leaf root uptake plants, which factor Overall, our imply presence aquatic environment hidden danger global cycle should receive more attention.

Long‐term nitrogen addition modifies microbial composition and functions for slow carbon cycling and increased sequestration in tropical forest soil

Global Change Biology, Journal Year: 2019, Volume and Issue: 25(10), P. 3267 - 3281

Published: July 5, 2019

Abstract Nitrogen (N) deposition is a component of global change that has considerable impact on belowground carbon (C) dynamics. Plant growth stimulation and alterations fungal community composition functions are the main mechanisms driving soil C gains following N in N‐limited temperate forests. In N‐rich tropical forests, however, generally minor effects plant growth; consequently, storage may strongly depend microbial processes drive litter organic matter decomposition. Here, we investigated how old‐growth forest responded to 13 years addition at four rates: 0 (Control), 50 (Low‐N), 100 (Medium‐N), 150 (High‐N) kg ha −1 year . Soil (SOC) content increased under High‐N, corresponding 33% decrease CO 2 efflux, reductions relative abundances bacteria as well genes responsible for cellulose chitin degradation. A 113% increase O emission was positively correlated with acidification an denitrification ( narG norB ). induced by decreased available P concentrations, associated abundance phytase. The key functional gene groups degradation were related slower SOC decomposition, indicating accumulation subjected High‐N addition. However, changes cycling led coincidentally large increases emissions, exacerbated deficiency. These two factors partially offset perceived beneficial soils. findings suggest potential incorporate into Earth system models considering their greenhouse gas emission, biogeochemical processes, biodiversity ecosystems.
