Immigration reduces selection in water microbial community assembly.

To investigate the influence of immigration on the selection in structuring local water bacterial communities, we conducted a new community assembly experiment using microcosms filled with sterile original water medium under outdoor conditions. We collected air particulate matter from dust pooled from samples collected at 10 locations across ~20 km in a warm temperate region in Linfen City (northern China). The immigration rates were increased by introducing air particulate matter into the microcosms.

Potential habitat areas and priority protected areas of in China under the context of climate change.

Introduction: () is one endangered and national class II key protected wild plant in China. It has ornamental, material, economic, edible and medicinal values. At present, the resources of are decreasing, and the prediction of the distribution of its potential habitat in China can provide a theoretical basis for the cultivation and rational management of this species.
