The treeline ecotone serves crucial ecological functions such as maintaining biodiversity and supplying nutrients to downstream areas.The upward shift of the alpine treeline driven by global climate ...
What determines the number of species in a given area? The amount of energy available to organisms (an area's primary productivity) has been shown to be a key determinant of plant and animal ...
Researchers have developed an innovative methodology for measuring the electrical conductivity of microbial communities. This methodology holds promise for the development of batteries and ...
An international research team has investigated the chances of survival of kombucha cultures under Mars-like conditions. Kombucha is known as a drink, sometimes called tea fungus or mushroom tea, ...
This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Both the structure and function of host-associated microbial communities are potentially impacted by environmental conditions, just as the ...
The results suggest the feasibility of reproducing natural ecosystems and identifying laws of evolution and ecology through controlled experiments, using bacterial growth as an indicator. This study ...
