Journal ArticleDOI
Distinct soil microbial diversity under long-term organic and conventional farming
TL;DR: The throughput and resolution of the sequencing approach permitted to detect specific structural shifts at the level of individual microbial taxa that harbours a novel potential for managing the soil environment by means of promoting beneficial and suppressing detrimental organisms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Resistance and resilience of the forest soil microbiome to logging-associated compaction.
Martin Hartmann,Pascal A. Niklaus,Stephan Zimmermann,Stefan Schmutz,Johann Kremer,Kessy Abarenkov,Peter Lüscher,Franco Widmer,Beat Frey +8 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that physical soil disturbance during logging induces profound and long-lasting changes in the soil microbiome and associated soil functions, raising awareness regarding sustainable management of economically driven logging operations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Distribution of cadmium in leaves of Thlaspi caerulescens
TL;DR: The results indicated that metal storage in the plants studied involves more than one compartment and that Cd is stored principally in the less metabolically active parts of leaf cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microbial diversity in European alpine permafrost and active layers
Beat Frey,Thomas Rime,Marcia Phillips,Beat Stierli,Irka Hajdas,Franco Widmer,Martin Hartmann +6 more
TL;DR: A unique experimental design coupled to high-throughput sequencing of ribosomal markers is applied to characterize the microbiota at the long-term alpine permafrost study site 'Muot-da-Barba-Peider' in eastern Switzerland with an approximate radiocarbon age of 12 000 years, yielding an unprecedented view on microbial life in temperate mountain permaf frost.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bacterial, archaeal and fungal succession in the forefield of a receding glacier.
Anita Zumsteg,Joerg Luster,Hans Göransson,Hans Göransson,Rienk H. Smittenberg,Rienk H. Smittenberg,Ivano Brunner,Stefano M. Bernasconi,Josef Zeyer,Beat Frey +9 more
TL;DR: Redundancy analysis indicated that base saturation, pH, soil C and N contents and plant coverage, all related to soil age, correlated with the microbial succession along the forefield.
