Unravelling the effects of tropical land use conversion on the soil microbiome. soil metagenome

This project investigates the impact of lowland rainforest transformation on diversity and ecosystem function of soil prokaryotic communities. To identify changes in microbial community composition accompanying rainforest transformation, comparative phylogenetic and functional analyses of soil samples from lowland rainforest, jungle rubber, rubber plantations, and oil palm plantations were performed.

本研究旨在探究低地雨林（lowland rainforest）转化过程对土壤原核生物群落（soil prokaryotic communities）多样性与生态系统功能的影响。为明确伴随雨林转化的微生物群落组成变化，研究人员对取自低地雨林、丛林橡胶园（jungle rubber）、橡胶种植园及油棕种植园的土壤样本开展了比较系统发育分析与功能分析。
