Impact of rainforest transformation on phylogenetic and functional diversity of soil prokaryotic communities in Sumatra (Indonesia)

This project investigates the impact of lowland rainforest transformation on diversity and ecosystem function of soil prokaryotic communities. To identify changes in indigenous prokaryotic community composition accompanying rainforest transformation, comparative phylogenetic analyses of soil samples from lowland rainforest, jungle rubber, rubber plantations, and oil palm plantations were performed.本研究探讨了低地雨林转变对土壤原核生物群落多样性与生态系统功能的影响。为明确伴随雨林转变过程中本土原核生物群落组成的变化，研究对取自低地雨林、丛林橡胶林、橡胶种植园以及油棕种植园的土壤样本开展了比较系统发育分析。
