Hillslope geodiversity shapes ammonia-oxidizing communities and other microbial regulators in a semi-arid shrubland
A. Szitenberg, R. Alexander-Shani, H. Yizhak, I. Stavi
The paper investigates how hillslope geodiversity affects microbial communities and their functions in a semi-arid shrubland, finding that homogeneous hillslopes reduce soil water storage and alter microbial diversity and function.
