biomes The forest biome is the largest terrestrial ecosystem and covers approximately 4 billion hectares or 30% of Earth’s land area (FAO, 2006). It has global significance as the largest habitat of the of Earth’s terrestrial biodiversity and the greatest source of plant biomass (80%), which contributes as much as 75% to gross primary productivity (Baldrian, 2017; Pan et al., 2013). As such, forests act as major sinks of stored carbon and facilitates biogeochemical cycling of other elements and regulating the global climate (Lladó et al., 2017). Characterized by the dominance of trees and layered vegetation, forests are distributed across several biogeographic and climate zones (Figure 1.1). Forests also have numerous benefits for humans, by offering goods and services such as timber, biofuels, clean water, agricultural

Despite their ecological importance, we have 17 limited understanding of how microbial communities vary across boreal moss species and the extent to 18 which local environmental conditions may influence the composition of these bacterial communities. 19 We used marker gene sequencing to analyze bacterial communities associated with eight boreal moss 20 species collected near Fairbanks, AK USA. We found that host identity was more important than site in 21 determining bacterial community composition and that mosses harbor diverse lineages of potential N2- 22 fixers as well as an abundance of novel taxa assigned to understudied bacterial phyla (including 23 candidate phylum WPS-2).

This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution International License (CC BY). http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Abstract The abundance and diversity of archaeal assemblages were analyzed in soils collected from Gyo- rae Gotjawal forest, Jeju, Korea. Gotjawal soil refers to soil derived from a lava-formed forest, cha- racterized by high organic matter content, fertility, and poor rocky soil. Using domain-specific primers, archaeal 16S rRNA gene sequences were PCR amplified for clone library construction, and a total of 185 archaeal clones were examined. The archaeal clones were affiliated with the phyla Thaumarchaeota (96.2%) and Euryarchaeota (3.8%). The most abundant thaumarchaeal group (90.3% of the clones) was the group I.1b clade, which includes soil ammonia-oxidizing arc- haea. The unique characteristics of Gotjawal soil, including basalt morphology, vegetation, and groundwater aquifer penetration, may be reflected in the archaeal community composition.

  • Tree-Aggregated Predictive Modeling of Microbiome Data
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Tree‑aggregated predictive modeling of microbiome data Jacob Bien1, Xiaohan Yan2, Léo Simpson3,4 & Christian L. Müller4,5,6* Modern high‑throughput sequencing technologies provide low‑cost microbiome survey data across all habitats of life at unprecedented scale. At the most granular level, the primary data consist of sparse counts of amplicon sequence variants or operational taxonomic units that are associated with taxonomic and phylogenetic group information. In this contribution, we leverage the hierarchical structure of amplicon data and propose a data‑driven and scalable tree‑guided aggregation framework to associate microbial subcompositions with response variables of interest. The excess number of zero or low count measurements at the read level forces traditional microbiome data analysis workfows to remove rare sequencing variants or group them by a fxed taxonomic rank, such as genus or phylum, or by phylogenetic similarity. By contrast, our framework, which we call trac (tree‑aggregation of compositional data), learns data‑adaptive taxon aggregation levels for predictive modeling, greatly reducing the need for user‑defned aggregation in preprocessing while simultaneously integrating seamlessly into the compositional data analysis framework. We illustrate the versatility of our framework in the context of large‑scale regression problems in human gut, soil, and marine microbial ecosystems. We posit that the inferred aggregation levels provide highly interpretable taxon groupings that can help microbiome researchers gain insights into the structure and functioning of the underlying ecosystem of interest. Microbial communities populate all major environments on earth and signifcantly contribute to the total plan- etary biomass. Current estimates suggest that a typical human-associated microbiome consists of ∼ 1013 bacteria1 and that marine bacteria and protists contribute to as much as 70% of the total marine biomass2.

  • Pyrosequencing Investigation Into the Bacterial Community in Permafrost Soils Along the China-Russia Crude Oil Pipeline (CRCOP)
    Pyrosequencing Investigation into the Bacterial Community in Permafrost Soils along the China-Russia Crude Oil Pipeline (CRCOP) Sizhong Yang1*, Xi Wen2, Huijun Jin1, Qingbai Wu1 1 State Key Laboratory of Frozen Soil Engineering (SKLFSE), Cold and Arid Regions Environmental and Engineering Research Institute (CAREERI), Chinese Academy of Sciences, Lanzhou, China, 2 College of Electrical Engineering, Northwest University for Nationalities, Lanzhou, China Abstract The China-Russia Crude Oil Pipeline (CRCOP) goes through 441 km permafrost soils in northeastern China. The bioremediation in case of oil spills is a major concern. So far, little is known about the indigenous bacteria inhabiting in the permafrost soils along the pipeline. A pilot 454 pyrosequencing analysis on the communities from four selected sites which possess high environment risk along the CRCOP is herein presented. The results reveal an immense bacterial diversity than previously anticipated. A total of 14448 OTUs with 84834 reads are identified, which could be assigned into 39 different phyla, and 223 families or 386 genera. Only five phyla sustain a mean OTU abundance more than 5% in all the samples, but they altogether account for 85.08% of total reads. Proteobacteria accounts for 41.65% of the total OTUs or 45% of the reads across all samples, and its proportion generally increases with soil depth, but OTUs numerically decline. Among Proteobacteria, the abundance of Beta-, Alpha-, Delta- and Gamma- subdivisions average to 38.7% (2331 OTUs), 37.5% (2257 OTUs), 10.35% (616 OTUs), and 6.21% (374 OTUs), respectively.
