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 …

Studying and modelling soil microbial communities dynamics at a landscape scale in response to agricultural practices

Soil microbial communities play a major role in soil fertility and are important as bioindicators to evaluate the impacts of agricultural practices on soils. The challenge is to promote their use in order to support / accelerate innovation by proposing to farmers the tools necessary to assess the impacts of practice modifications on the soil microbial composition before implementing and validating them. The goal of this thesis is to characterize spatial and temporal dynamics of soil microbial communities at the scale of an agricultural landscape in order to create models and propose a Decision Support Instrument (DSI) for stakeholders in the agricultural communities. This will use a multi-d…

Temporal dynamics of soil bacterial communities at a landscape scale: dependence to soil properties and agricultural practices.

International audience; Soil microbial communities play a major role in agricultural functions and are an efficient indicator to evaluate the impacts of agricultural practices on soils. Studies on wide scales ranging from landscape to countries demonstrated that soil microbial communities were heterogeneously distributed in space under the dependence of soil properties (e.g. pH, soil texture, Organic matter Content) and agricultural practices. However, temporal dynamics of soil microbial communities at a landscape scale still need to be documented in order to go further in evaluating the sustainability of agricultural practices. In this extensive monitoring study, we focused on landscape dy…
