Abstract

Ecological succession is one of the most important concepts in ecology. However for microbial community succession, there is a lack of a solid theoretical framework regarding succession in microorganisms. This is in part due to microbial community complexity and plasticity but also because little is known about temporal patterns of microbial community shifts in different kinds of ecosystems, including arid soils. The Cuatro Cienegas Basin (CCB) in Coahuila, Mexico, is an arid zone with high diversity and endemisms that has recently been threatened by aquifer overexploitation. The gypsum-based soil system of the CCB is one of the most oligotrophic places in the world. We undertook a comparative 16S rRNA 454 pyrosequencing study to evaluate microbial community succession and recovery over a year after disturbance at two sites. Results were related to concurrent measurements of humidity, organic matter and total C and N content. While each site differed in both biogeochemistry and biodiversity, both present similar pattern of change at the beginning of the succession that diverged in later stages. After one year, experimentally disturbed soil was not similar to established and undisturbed adjacent soil communities indicating recovery and succession in disturbed soils is a long process.

    When discussing any topic, you always come across interesting details that change the way you look at the situation. It is especially pleasant that most of the participants are ready to give real examples, which makes the discussions even more useful.
    As a result, the conclusion suggests itself — first of all, it is worth paying attention to the reliability of the entire system as a whole.

    Achieving your own goals often does not begin with big changes, but with a small step — with the right attitude and creating a comfortable environment for work or creativity. Forums help each of us broaden our horizons and get useful recommendations from people with similar interests and views. In any discussion, it is important to remember that the effectiveness and satisfaction of the process directly depends on many factors, including those that we often forget about.
    The location of objects around us significantly affects our well-being and productivity. A well-planned workplace with everything you need for effective work helps you focus, reduce stress, and achieve tangible success. Therefore, it would not be superfluous to pay attention to the elements that make up the everyday atmosphere — [url=https://itpb.by/peregovornie-stoli-vazhnost-dizajna-i-ergonomiki-v-delovom-obshenii/][color=#1C1C1C]comfortable and modern office furniture,[/color][/url] capable of enhancing every aspect of your business.
