Moisture and material shape microbial communities in the built environment through disturbance-productivity relationships

Kaelyn Nannini, Dennis D. Krutkin, Scott Theodore Kelley…·Nicholas A. Barber

The paper tests how moisture and building materials affect microbial diversity in the built environment, finding that disturbances reduce diversity in some cases and vary by material and microbe type.
