AI Article Synopsis
- - Habitat loss significantly threatens biodiversity, affecting species that interact in complex networks rather than in isolation.
- - This study investigates how the area of an island impacts the complexity and stability of soil microbial networks.
- - The findings show that larger island areas lead to more complex and stable microbial networks, suggesting that habitat loss could simplify and destabilize these important ecosystems.
Article Abstract
Habitat loss has been a primary threat to biodiversity. However, species do not function in isolation but often associate with each other and form complex networks. Thus, revealing how the network complexity and stability scale with habitat area will give us more insights into the effects of habitat loss on ecosystems. In this study, we explored the relationships between the island area and the network complexity and stability of soil microbes. We found that the complexity and stability of soil microbial co-occurrence networks scale positively with island area, indicating that habitat loss will potentially simplify and destabilize soil microbial networks.

Rhizosphere microbiomes are constantly mobilized during plant-pathogen interactions, and this, in turn, affects their interactions. However, few studies have examined the activities of rhizosphere microbiomes in plants with different susceptibilities to soil-borne pathogens, especially those that cause clubroot disease. In this study, we compared the rhizosphere bacterial community in response to infection of among the four different clubroot susceptibility cultivars of oilseed rape ().

To mitigate overgrazing on grasslands, towns were constructed in some pastoral regions of China to relocate pastoralists. Nevertheless, whether and how the urbanized lands impact the surrounding grassland ecosystem remains unclear. We assessed the impacts of urbanized lands on the plant and soil interactions within the surrounding grasslands in order to ensure an eco-sustainable pastoralist relocation.
