Causal path models for direct and indirect effects of soil properties, topographic factors and microbial groups on community structure.

Keystone operational taxonomic unit (OTU) and their influence on bacterial functions. Bacterial contributions of variation in metabolic functions, including (a) carbon metabolism, (b) nitrogen metabolism, (c) phosphorus metabolism, (d) sulfur metabolism, (e) methane metabolism, (f) pentose phosphate pathway, (g) butanoate metabolism, (h) glyoxylate and dicarboxylate metabolism and (i) propanoate metabolism.

The relationship between structure and functions of #SoilMicrobialCommunities and tree composition with #KeystoneMicrobes VS that with #RareMicrobes in a #SubtropicalForest.
1️⃣The former is more closely related.
2️⃣Keystone microbes have better functionality and stability.
