MICROBIAL COMMUNITY DIVERSITIES AND TAXA ABUNDANCES IN SOILS ALONG A SEVEN-YEAR GRADIENT OF POTATO MONOCULTURE USING HIGH THROUGHPUT PYROSEQUENCING APPROACH.

Microbial community diversities and taxa abundances in soils along a seven-year gradient of potato monoculture using high throughput pyrosequencing approach.

BACKGROUND: Previous studies have focused on linking soil community structure, diversity, or specific taxa to disturbances.Relatively little attention has been directed to crop monoculture soils, particularly potato monoculture.Information about microbial community changes over time between monoculture and non-monoculture treatments is lacking.Furt

Biodiversity of ecosystems in an arid setting: The late Albian plant communities and associated biota from eastern Iberia

Deserts are stressful environments where the living beings must acquire different strategies to survive due to the water stress conditions.From the late Albian to the early Cenomanian, the northern and eastern parts of Iberia were the location of the desert system represented Vines by deposits assigned to the Utrillas Group, which bear abundant amb
