Short-term impact of biogas digestates on soils microbial communities
International audience; Anaerobic digestion of organic waste is considered a key process to produce renewable energy to meet the growing sustainable energy demand. Digestates can be used in agriculture as soil amendments and improve crop yields. However, their use at large scale in agricultural fields still requires to prove their innocuity on soil biota, especially on microorganisms that play important roles in soil ecosystem. Here, we designed a microcosm experiment to compare the short-term (42-days) effects of four different digestates (derived from cattle manure, energy crop, food residues or slurry with bio-waste) on the soil microbial communities. Each digestate was applied on three …
Biogeographical design of soil microbial habitats
International audience; Since the beginning of 21th century, soil microbial diversity is intensively studied gathering ahuge knowledge at local and global scales. Nevertheless, the microbial habitats have beenpoorly investigated, limiting our ability to link biodiversity description and regulation. In our study,we used a pyrosequencing approach targeting 16S rRNA genes directly amplified from soil DNAto have a comprehensive view of soil bacterial and archaeal community composition across thelargest spatially explicit soil sampling available in France (2173 soils, area covered = 5.5x105km2). Based on the multivariate regression tree (MRT) method, we designed 16 distinctterrestrial microbial …
