Modelling Spatial Point Patterns in R
This paper describes practical techniques for fitting stochastic models to spatial point pattern data using the statistical language R. The techniques are demonstrated with a detailed analysis of two real datasets. We have implemented the techniques as a package spatstat in the R language. Both spatstat and R are freely available from the R website [19]. Sections 2 and 3 introduce the spatstat ...
متن کاملColonization patterns of soil microbial communities in the Atacama Desert
BACKGROUND The Atacama Desert is one of the driest deserts in the world and its soil, with extremely low moisture, organic carbon content, and oxidizing conditions, is considered to be at the dry limit for life. RESULTS Analyses of high throughput DNA sequence data revealed that bacterial communities from six geographic locations in the hyper-arid core and along a North-South moisture gradien...
متن کاملBiodiversity in microbial communities: system scale patterns and mechanisms.
The relationship between anthropogenic impact and the maintenance of biodiversity is a fundamental question in ecology. The emphasis on the organizational level of biodiversity responsible for ecosystem processes is shifting from a species-centred focus to include genotypic diversity. The relationship between biodiversity measures at these two scales remains largely unknown. By stratifying anth...
متن کاملConstraint-based stoichiometric modelling from single organisms to microbial communities
Microbial communities are ubiquitously found in Nature and have direct implications for the environment, human health and biotechnology. The species composition and overall function of microbial communities are largely shaped by metabolic interactions such as competition for resources and cross-feeding. Although considerable scientific progress has been made towards mapping and modelling specie...
متن کاملCarbon use efficiency of microbial communities: stoichiometry, methodology and modelling.
Carbon use efficiency (CUE) is a fundamental parameter for ecological models based on the physiology of microorganisms. CUE determines energy and material flows to higher trophic levels, conversion of plant-produced carbon into microbial products and rates of ecosystem carbon storage. Thermodynamic calculations support a maximum CUE value of ~ 0.60 (CUE max). Kinetic and stoichiometric constrai...
