Microbial community diversity and composition across a gradient of soil acidity in spruce–fir forests of the southern Appalachian Mountains

S Bardhan, S Jose, MA Jenkins, CR Webster… - Applied soil ecology, 2012 - Elsevier
Anthropogenic deposition of sulfur (S) and nitrogen (N) contributes substantially to soil
acidity in some forest regions and hence studies have focused on modeling and quantifying
depositions in landscapes. The resulting acidity can change the soil chemical balance,
nutrient availability, microbial communities, and at a broader scale, ecosystem functioning.
In this study, a 16S PCR-DGGE (polymerase chain reaction-denaturing gradient gel
electrophoresis) approach was used to measure the bacterial diversity and identify the …
