Enhanced monsoon duration and soil acidification from acid rain are expected to impact the
distribution of microbial communities in surface and subsurface environments, although …

Microbial communities contribute to sustaining the function of terrestrial ecosystems and are
influenced by soil type and climate gradients. The effects of karst and non-karst soils on …

This review paper briefly summarizes the research results of the majority (∼ 70%) women
team of the Hydrogeology Research Group of Eötvös Loránd University, Hungary, led by …

Karst ecosystems are widely distributed around the world, accounting for 15–20% of the
global land area. However, knowledge on microbial ecology of these systems does not …

Soil microbial communities were investigated under the volcanic extreme environment. Soil
bacterial networks exhibited higher stability than fungal networks. Holocene granite had a …

Background and aims Karst rocky desertification (KRD), a land degradation form which is
widespread but unique to karst ecosystems, has become an ecological disaster in southwest …

Understanding how patterns of recovery and geological conditions affect microbial
communities is important for determining the stability of karst ecosystems. Here, we …

In this study for the first-time microbial communities in the caves located in the mountain
range of Hindu Kush were evaluated. The samples were analyzed using culture …

Caves offer a stable and protected environment from harsh and changing outside
conditions. They lend living proof of the presence of minute life forms that delve deep within …

Although karst aquifers are far more susceptible to contamination than porous aquifers, with
the transport of particulate matter being an important factor, little is known about the …
