Diversity and putative metabolic function of prokaryotic communities in tank bromeliads along an elevation gradient in tropical Mexico.

Project description:Tank bromeliads are unique canopy microhabitats that offer freshwater and organic nutrient-rich substrates in the Neotropics. In them it is possible to thoroughly characterize environmental factors and species composition of terrestrial and aquatic biota. Therefore, these plants have been used as natural models to study how communities are distributed and assembled. Here we used amplicon sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene and their functional annotations to study the diversity and metabolic potential of prokaryotic communities in tank bromeliads in five different forests along an elevation gradient in tropical Mexico. Furthermore, we analyzed the effects of vegetation type and environmental factors inside the tanks on prokaryotic composition. We found a high prokaryotic diversity in tank bromeliads along the elevation gradient. Prokaryotes commonly observed in acidic environments rich in organic carbon, and the potential pathogen Pasteurella multocida, were present in all samples, but few amplicon sequence variants were shared between forests. The prokaryotic composition was affected by forest type, and comparisons against null models suggest that it was shaped by non-neutral processes. Furthermore, prokaryotic community changes significantly covaried with tank water temperature, pH, and inorganic carbon. We found a high diversity of putative metabolic groups dominated by chemoheterotrophs and fermenters, but taxonomic groups involved in nitrogen and sulfur cycling were also present in all samples. These results suggest that tank bromeliads promote taxonomic and metabolic diversity of the prokaryotic community at a local and regional scale and play an important role in the biogeochemistry of forest canopies in the Neotropics.

The Microbial Gene Diversity along an Elevation Gradient of the Tibetan Grassland

Project description:Tibet is one of the most threatened regions by climate warming, thus understanding how its microbial communities function may be of high importance for predicting microbial responses to climate changes. Here, we report a study to profile soil microbial structural genes, which infers functional roles of microbial communities, along four sites/elevations of a Tibetan mountainous grassland, aiming to explore potential microbial responses to climate changes via a strategy of space-for-time substitution. Using a microarray-based metagenomics tool named GeoChip 4.0, we showed that microbial communities were distinct for most but not all of the sites. Substantial variations were apparent in stress, N and C cycling genes, but they were in line with the functional roles of these genes. Cold shock genes were more abundant at higher elevations. Also, gdh converting ammonium into urea was more abundant at higher elevations while ureC converting urea into ammonium was less abundant, which was consistent with soil ammonium contents. Significant correlations were observed between N-cycling genes (ureC, gdh and amoA) and nitrous oxide flux, suggesting that they contributed to community metabolism. Lastly, we found by CCA, Mantel tests and the similarity tests that soil pH, temperature, NH4+M-bM-^@M-^SN and vegetation diversity accounted for the majority (81.4%) of microbial community variations, suggesting that these four attributes were major factors affecting soil microbial communities. Based on these observations, we predict that climate changes in the Tibetan grasslands are very likely to change soil microbial community functional structure, with particular impacts on microbial N cycling genes and consequently microbe-mediated soil N dynamics. Twelve samples were collected from four elevations (3200, 3400, 3600 and 3800 m) along a Tibetan grassland; Three replicates in every elevation

Variation in leaf wettability traits along a tropical montane elevation gradient.

Project description:Leaf wetting is often considered to have negative effects on plant function, such that wet environments may select for leaves with certain leaf surface, morphological, and architectural traits that reduce leaf wettability. However, there is growing recognition that leaf wetting can have positive effects. We measured variation in two traits, leaf drip tips and leaf water repellency, in a series of nine tropical forest communities occurring along a 3300-m elevation gradient in southern Peru. To extend this climatic gradient, we also assembled published leaf water repellency values from 17 additional sites. We then tested hypotheses for how these traits should vary as a function of climate. Contrary to expectations, we found that the proportion of species with drip tips did not increase with increasing precipitation. Instead, drip tips increased with increasing temperature. Moreover, leaf water repellency was very low in our sites and the global analysis indicated high repellency only in sites with low precipitation and temperatures. Our findings suggest that drip tips and repellency may not solely reflect the negative effects of wetting on plant function. Understanding the drivers of leaf wettability traits can provide insight into the effects of leaf wetting on plant, community, and ecosystem function.

Covariance of Sun and Shade Leaf Traits Along a Tropical Forest Elevation Gradient.

Project description:Foliar trait adaptation to sun and shade has been extensively studied in the context of photosynthetic performance of plants, focusing on nitrogen allocation, light capture and use via chlorophyll pigments and leaf morphology; however, less is known about the potential sun-shade dichotomy of other functionally important foliar traits. In this study, we measured 19 traits in paired sun and shade leaves along a 3,500-m elevation gradient in southern Peru to test whether the traits differ with canopy position, and to assess if relative differences vary with species composition and/or environmental filters. We found significant sun-shade differences in leaf mass per area (LMA), photosynthetic pigments (Chl ab and Car), and ?13C. Sun-shade offsets among these traits remained constant with elevation, soil substrates, and species compositional changes. However, other foliar traits related to structure and chemical defense, and those defining general metabolic processes, did not differ with canopy position. Our results suggest that whole-canopy function is captured in many traits of sun leaves; however, photosynthesis-related traits must be scaled based on canopy light extinction. These findings show that top-of-canopy measurements of foliar chemistry from spectral remote sensing approaches map directly to whole-canopy foliar traits including shaded leaves that cannot be directly observed from above.
