Abstract
Styrax paralleloneurus is a resin-producing tree native to Sumatra, Indonesia. This study investigated the effects of tapping, bark wounding and forest type on bacterial biota in the stem of styrax in natural and community forests. Amplicon metagenomic sequencing of the 16S rRNA region was deployed to identify the bacterial communities associated with tapped and untapped trees across various environmental and experimental conditions. The results of the study showed that tapped trees had lower abundance and diversity of Pseudomonas compared to untapped trees, largely due to their increased exposure to external microbe communities and environmental elements. Serratia and Pantoea were more abundant in natural forest than community forest, while Bradyrhizobium lablabi was found abundantly in untapped trees. Additionally, the taxonomic analysis revealed distinct responses of bacterial genera to tapping and forest type, indicating that community forests could play a significant role in promoting biodiversity in forest ecosystems. This finding underscores the importance of community forests in biodiversity conservation. These insights can inform future conservation and management strategies to enhance biodiversity and underscore the need for sustainable forest management practices to maintain forest health and productivity.
期刊介绍:
The journal is identical in scope to Environmental Microbiology, shares the same editorial team and submission site, and will apply the same high level acceptance criteria. The two journals will be mutually supportive and evolve side-by-side.
Environmental Microbiology Reports provides a high profile vehicle for publication of the most innovative, original and rigorous research in the field. The scope of the Journal encompasses the diversity of current research on microbial processes in the environment, microbial communities, interactions and evolution and includes, but is not limited to, the following:
the structure, activities and communal behaviour of microbial communities
microbial community genetics and evolutionary processes
microbial symbioses, microbial interactions and interactions with plants, animals and abiotic factors
microbes in the tree of life, microbial diversification and evolution
population biology and clonal structure
microbial metabolic and structural diversity
microbial physiology, growth and survival
microbes and surfaces, adhesion and biofouling
responses to environmental signals and stress factors
modelling and theory development
pollution microbiology
extremophiles and life in extreme and unusual little-explored habitats
element cycles and biogeochemical processes, primary and secondary production
microbes in a changing world, microbially-influenced global changes
evolution and diversity of archaeal and bacterial viruses
new technological developments in microbial ecology and evolution, in particular for the study of activities of microbial communities, non-culturable microorganisms and emerging pathogens.
