Abstract Plant biodiversity is often correlated with ecosystem functioning in terrestrial ecosystems. However, we know little about the relative and combined effects of above- belowground on multiple functions (for example, multifunctionality, EMF) or how climate might mediate those relationships. Here tease apart biotic abiotic factors, both belowground, EMF Tibetan Plateau, China. We found that a suite variables account for up to 86% variation EMF, accounting 45% EMF. Our results have two...
The relative importance of stochasticity versus determinism in soil bacterial communities is unclear, as are the possible influences that alter balance between these. Here, we investigated influence spatial scale on role and agricultural monocultures consisting only wheat, thereby minimizing differences plant species cover cultivation/disturbance regime, extending across a wide range soils climates North China Plain (NCP). We sampled 243 sites 1092 km sequenced 16S rRNA gene using MiSeq....
Soil salinization is a growing environmental problem caused by both natural and human activities. Excessive salinity in soil suppresses growth, decreases species diversity, alters the community composition of plants; however, effect on microbial communities poorly understood. Here, we characterize along gradient Gurbantunggut Desert, Northwestern China. Microbial diversity linearly decreased with increases salinity, dissimilarity significantly increased differences. showed strong...
Summary Previous studies have revealed inconsistent correlations between fungal diversity and plant from local to global scales, there is a lack of information about the diversity–diversity productivity–diversity relationships for fungi in alpine regions. Here we investigated internal soil diversity, productivity across 60 grassland sites on Tibetan Plateau, using Illumina sequencing transcribed spacer 2 ( ITS 2) region identification. Fungal alpha beta diversities were best explained by...
Microbial taxa within complex ecological networks can be classified by their universal roles based on level of connectivity with other taxa. Highly connected an network (kinless hubs) are theoretically expected to support higher levels ecosystem functions than less (peripherals). Empirical evidence the role kinless hubs in regulating functional potential soil microbial communities, however, is largely unexplored and poorly understood agricultural ecosystems. Here, we built a correlation...
Many studies have investigated patterns in the near-surface soil microbial community over large spatial scales. However, less is known about variation subsurface (15-30 cm of depth) communities. Here we studied depth profiles communities high-elevation soils from Tibet. The relative abundance Acidobacteria, Chloroflexi and Alphaproteobacteria was higher layers, while Actinobacteria, Gemmatimonadetes Betaproteobacteria samples. structure distinct between surface strongly correlating with...
The diversity of eukaryotic macroorganisms such as animals and plants usually declines with increasing elevation latitude. By contrast, the community structure prokaryotes soil bacteria does not generally correlate or latitude, suggesting that differences in fundamental cell biology and/or body size strongly influence patterns. To distinguish influences these two factors, microorganism was investigated six representative vegetation sites along an elevational gradient from forest to alpine...
Viruses significantly influence local and global biogeochemical cycles help bacteria to survive in different environments by encoding various auxiliary metabolic genes (AMGs) associated with energy acquisition, stress tolerance degradation of xenobiotics. Here we studied whether bacterial (dsDNA) virus encoded AMGs are enriched organochlorine pesticide (OCP) contaminated soil China if viral include linked OCP biodegradation. Using metagenomics, found that OCP-contaminated soils displayed a...
To ascertain the neuroendocrine function of kisspeptin/GPR54 system in non-mammalian species, full-length cDNAs encoding for Kiss1 and Kiss2 as well their putative cognate receptors GPR54a GPR54b, were isolated from goldfish ( Carassius auratus ). The deduced protein sequences between share very low similarity, but mature peptides (kisspeptin-10) are relatively conserved. RT-PCR analysis demonstrated that kiss1 gene gfkiss1 ) is highly expressed optic tectum-thalamus, intestine, kidney,...

Fires affect hundreds of millions hectares annually. Above-ground community composition and diversity after fire have been studied extensively, but effects on soil bacterial communities remain largely unexamined despite the central role bacteria in ecosystem recovery functioning. We investigated responses to forest Greater Khingan Mountains, China, using tagged pyrosequencing. Fire altered substantially high-intensity significantly decreased 1-year-after-burn site. Bacterial returned similar...
Soil microbial communities are influenced by climate change drivers such as warming and altered precipitation. These changes create abiotic stresses, including desiccation nutrient limitation, which act on microbes. However, our understanding of the responses to co-occurring is limited. We surveyed soil bacterial fungal diversity composition after a 1-year precipitation manipulation in Tibetan plateau alpine grassland. In isolation, decreased treatments each had no significant effects...
Although studies of elevational diversity gradient for microbes have attracted considerable attention, the generality these patterns and their underlying drivers are still poorly understood. Here, we investigated bacterial distribution across a high (4328−5228 m a.s.l.) along Nyainqêntanglha mountains on Southwestern Tibetan Plateau. We found decreasing trend with increasing elevation, pH contributing most to variation, followed by elevation mean annual temperature (MAT). Bacterial community...
Summary Rhizospheric fungi play major roles in both natural and agricultural ecosystems. However, little is known about the determinants of their diversity biogeographic patterns. Here, we compared fungal communities rhizosphere bulk soils wheat fields North China Plain. The had a lower (observed OTUs Chao1) than soil, distinct community structure with soil. relative importance environmental factors geographic distance for distribution differed between Environmental were primary cause...
