Conservation of Species- and Trait-Based Modeling Network Interactions in Extremely Acidic Microbial Community Assembly
Understanding microbial interactions is essential to decipher the mechanisms of community assembly and their effects on ecosystem functioning, however, the conservation of species- and trait-based network interactions along environmental gradient remains largely unknown. Here, by using the network-based analyses with three paralleled data sets derived from 16S rRNA gene pyrosequencing, function...
متن کاملSpecies diversity of fish in the Sanandaj Azad Dam ecosystem
Fish sampling was conducted to evaluate the species diversity of fish in 4 stations in Sanandaj Azad dam ecosystem seasonally from summer of 2017 to spring of 2018. A total of 1057 fish were caught in 12 species, of which more than 80% were caught in the lake behind the dam. The Cyprinidae family had 11 species with the most species diversity and only Sasanidus kermanshahensis belonged to the N...
متن کاملKey role in ecosystem functioning of scavengers reliant on a single common species
The importance of species richness in maintaining ecosystem function in the field remains unclear. Recent studies however have suggested that in some systems functionality is maintained by a few abundant species. Here we determine this relationship by quantifying the species responsible for a key ecosystem role, carcass removal by scavengers. We find that, unlike those within largely unaltered ...
متن کاملThe Effect of Change in Land Use on the indicators of Ecosystem Function and Soil Erosion via Landscape Function Analysis Method (LFA)
1- INTRODUCTION Over the past few decades, the objective of the evaluation and monitoring of the optimal utilization of sustainable natural resource services and ecosystem performance has been the successor to the ecosystem structure. Tongway and Hindley introduced a Landscape Function Analysis (LFA) method in 2004 to evaluate the ecosystem Function. In the new method, soil is considered as th...
متن کاملImportance of protecting the natural reproduction of kutum (Rutilus kutum Kamenskii, 1901) in exploiting the ecological carring capacity of the ecosystem
251 specimens of kutum fish caught by bony fish persine on the southern shores of the Caspian Sea (Mazandaran) during the years 2017-2019 were studied to study the growth trend of this species. In this study, maximum estimated length (L∞) and annual growth coefficient (K) of kutum fish were estimated 71.79 cm and 0.13, respectively. The results of natural reproduction of this species in Kheirud...
