Effects of environmental spatial variation in structuring ammonia-oxidizing microbial communities in arid grassland

Poster Number:  144 Presenter/Primary Author:  Paul Brewer The enormous biodiversity of soil microbial communities is likely caused, in part, by a similar diversity of soil microhabitats.  Understanding how the environmental properties that create div

Identification and characterization of microbial communities in high elevation snow packs

Poster Number:  142 Presenter/Primary Author:  Courtney Naff Microbial communities play a key role in food web dynamics of marine, freshwater and soil ecosystems.

Linkages among specialized microbial communities across LTER landscapes: Developing the metacommunity concept

Recent research in a broad range of environments suggests that microbial communities are well-adapted and fine tuned to local environmental conditions and available resources.  Across landscap Session:  Working Group Session 5 - Wednesday Room Assignment:  Longs Peak - Boulder Field (85)

Niche differentiation of ammonia-oxidizing microbial communities and their function in soil

Poster Number:  127 Presenter/Primary Author:  Yevgeniy Marusenko Soil archaea and bacteria are known to oxidize ammonia to nitrite in a key step of nitrification, which may be affected by N inputs from natural (e.g., mineralization) or anthropogenic (e.g., atmos
