This review focuses on some important and challenging aspects of soil extracellular enzyme
research. We report on recent discoveries, identify key research needs and highlight the …

Humans have effectively transported thousands of species around the globe and, with
accelerated trade; the rate of introductions has increased over time. Aquatic ecosystems …

Many studies have shown that species sorting, that is, the selection by local environmental
conditions is important for the composition and assembly of bacterial communities. On the …

Mediterranean climate regions are characterised by long summer droughts that usually
involve flow intermittency in low‐to mid‐order streams. Flow intermittency implies flow …

Temporary streams are a dominant surface water type in the Mediterranean region. As a
consequence of their hydrologic regime, these ecosystems contract and fragment as they …

The microbial communities in freshwater have raised concerns about the ecosystem and
human health. Many ecological environmental problems have been found in urban river …

For the past 60 years Caulobacter spp. have been commonly attributed an aquatic and
oligotrophic lifestyle yet are not uncommon in nutrient-rich or soil environments. This study …

In Mediterranean regions, drought is one of the main factors shaping fluvial ecosystems.
Droughts cause a shift from lotic to lentic conditions, triggering a gradual fragmentation of …

River and stream biofilms in mediterranean fluvial ecosystems face both extreme
seasonality as well as arrhythmic fluctuations. The hydrological extremes (droughts and …

The dynamics of in situ bacterial communities in the hyporheic zone of an intermittent stream
were described in high spatiotemporal detail. We assessed community dynamics in stream …
