Study on the response of bacterial functional potential on temperate translocation experiment in Qinling forest
Here is a soil translocation experiment to reveal the temperature response of microorganisms and used 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequences to generalize bacterial characteristics concerning species turnover and community assembly, then combining PICRUSt estimated metagenomes to predict microbial function. In low elevation, eight of these cores were reinstalled at the same site (hereafter referred to as L), and the other eight cores translocated to the high elevation (hereafter referred to as CL), which was called translocation cooling process. Similarly, in high elevation, eight of these cores were reinstalled at the same site (hereafter referred to as H), and the other eight cores translocated to the high elevation (hereafter referred to as WH), which was called translocation warming process. This study suggested that the short term temperature response of dormancy potential regulates bacterial species turnover through altering community assembly.
