Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Qiuyu Shao"
- Qiuyu Shao's research focuses on understanding the relationships and effects of various environmental factors, particularly phytohormones and urbanization, on microbial communities in different ecological niches, including the phyllosphere and rhizosphere of medicinal plants such as Eucommia ulmoides.
- Recent studies utilize advanced techniques like microbial amplicon sequencing and high-throughput assays to investigate microbial diversity, functionality, and assembly processes, shedding light on the impact of disturbances like wildfires on karst forest ecosystems and the dynamics of soil bacterial communities in urban areas.
- Shao's findings highlight the significant influence of specific factors, including soil physicochemical properties and plant-associated phytohormones, on microbial community structure, which has important implications for plant health, ecological interactions, and potential applications in agriculture and environmental management.
