Mapping and determinism of soil microbial community distribution across an agricultural landscape.

2015

Article en open access; International audience; Despite the relevance of landscape, regarding the spatial patterning of microbial communities and the relative influence of environmental parameters versus human activities, few investigations have been conducted at this scale. Here, we used a systematic grid to characterize the distribution of soil microbial communities at 278 sites across a monitored agricultural landscape of 13km(2). Molecular microbial biomass was estimated by soil DNA recovery and bacterial diversity by 16S rRNA gene pyrosequencing. Geostatistics provided the first maps of microbial community at this scale and revealed a heterogeneous but spatially structured distribution…

Deciphering Biotic Interactions and Their Role in Soil Microbial Community Assembly and Functions

2022

Microbial communities play a key role in ecosystem functioning as well as in plant, animal, and human welfare. Their assembly relies on different processes commonly referred to as abiotic and biotic filters. Despite the widespread emphasis on abiotic filters in terrestrial ecosystems, a growing body of evidence suggests that interactions between microorganisms play a critical role in community assembly. However, the contribution of these interactions to microbial community assembly and the factors influencing them have not been clearly established. In most cases, biotic interactions between microorganisms have been investigated based on cocultures of a handful of strains, completely overloo…

Link between microbial diversity, stability of microbial communities and soil organic matter turnover

2014

Soil microbial communities act as important agents of the biological soil functioning, particularly through their involvements in the transformations of biogeochemical cycles (C, N, P…). In agro-ecosystems, the diversity of these communities is affected by perturbations associated to agricultural practices, and the significance of these modifications in terms of preservation of biological functioning and sustainability of agricultural systems has emerged as a central issue in the environmental sciences. Whereas the role of biodiversity has been well studied for macroorganisms, in particular for plants; the biodiversity/activity relationship is still largely unknown for soil microorganisms. …

Origins of the blemishes of potato tubers : from the soil microbiology to the pedoclimatic environment

2010

The visual quality of fresh potatoes, Solanum tuberosum, became a dominant criterion and a significative economical issue in potato market. According the vegetative reproduction of this species, requirements for visual quality are also needed for potato seed tubers. As an organ for reserve and propagation, the tuber grows underground and is in contact with soil-borne microorganisms, making it potentially exposed to blemishes, for the majority of which the origin is still unclear. The objective of this work is to make an inventory of those tuber blemishes, to characterize them and determine their causes. After the establishment of consensual nomenclature and classification of the blemishes, …

Caractérisation des communautés microbiennes dans les technosols construits pour la restauration des friches industrielles

2012

Increasing soil degradation and its consequences on overall ecosystem services urge for restoration strategies. Construction of Technosols through assemblage of treated soil and industrial wastes is an innovative technology for the restoration of polluted land and re-use of industrial by-products. Recent studies have evidenced that Technosols could support ecosystemic services such as primary production but the knowledge about other soil functions, such as biogeochemical cycling, is limited. Due to the significant contribution of microbial communities to soil functioning, this PhD work was carried out to study the effect of the type of Technosol on microbial communities with a focus on func…

Les couverts végétaux. Partie 1/2 : Une pratique agroécologique au service de la vigne

2021

National audience; Les couverts végétaux sont couramment utilisés en tant que cultures intermédiaires, intégrant pleinement les plans de rotation en tant qu’interculture des cultures annuelles (ex. : céréales) et en tant que cultures intercalaires dans le cadre des cultures pérennes (ex. : vergers, vigne). Ce type de culture a fait l’objet de dénominations différentes au cours des dernières décennies comme « engrais vert », en référence à sa contribution à la fertilité des sols, ou « CIPAN » (Culture intermédiaire piège à nitrate) , et dernièrement « CIMS » (Cultures intermédiaires/intercalaires multiservices) (Justes et Richard, 2017). Les plantes de couvert sont cultivées, non pas dans un…

Search for biological signature of the degradation of chlordecone in soil of the French West Indies

2015

The use of chlordecone (CLD) to eradicate the weevil populations in the banana plantations in the French West Indies (Guadeloupe and Martinique) between 1972 and 1993 led to the contamination of the soil and the environment. This very hydrophobic organochlorine insecticide persists in the soil where it slowly transfers not only to the water resources but also to terrestrial and aquatic biota (plants, animals, fishes, shellfishes). Deemed “non-degradable”, CLD is resistant to photolysis, hydrolysis and biodegradation. To date, there is no method to remediate the 20,000 hectares of polluted soil with this insecticide. Given the extent of CLD pollution, biological decontamination processes app…

Metaproteomics: a new approach for studying functional microbial ecology

2008

Establishing the link between microbial diversity and ecosystem functioning constitutes one of the fundamental questions in microbial ecology. However, microbial biodiversity cannot be resolved in a single manner and the question arises about which of the genetic and/or taxonomic and/or functional components of biodiversity are the most relevant in such a problematic. To date, most researches in this field has focused on genetic diversity and few investigations have examined functional diversity, resulting in a poor understanding of the manner in which genetic and taxonomic diversity affect functional diversity or ecosystem properties. This can be explained by paucity of methods allowing an…
