Zusammenfassung |
Soil formation is the result of a complex network of biological as well as
chemical and physical processes. The role of soil microbes is of high
interest, since they are responsible for most biological transformations and
drive the development of stable and labile pools of carbon (C), nitrogen (N)
and other nutrients, which facilitate the subsequent establishment of plant
communities. Forefields of receding glaciers provide unique chronosequences
of different soil development stages and are ideal ecosystems to study the
interaction of bacteria, fungi and archaea with their abiotic environment.
In this review we give insights into the role of microbes for soil
development. The results presented are based on studies performed within
the Collaborative Research Program DFG SFB/TRR 38 (http://www.tu-cottbus.de/ecosystem ) and are
supplemented by data from other studies. The review focusses on the
microbiology of major steps of soil formation. Special attention is given to
the development of nutrient cycles on the formation of biological soil
crusts (BSCs) and on the establishment of plant–microbe interactions. |
