The finding and researching algorithm for potentially oscillating enzymatic systems by T. N. Lakhova, F. V. Kazantsev, S. A. Lashin, Yu. G. Matushkin

“…Oscillatory processes are responsible for cell cycles in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes, for circadian rhythms, for synchronous coupling of respiration with cardiac contractions, etc. Fluctuations in the numbers of organisms in natural populations can be caused by the populations’ own properties, their age structure, and ecological relationships with other species. …”

Effect of fungal, oomycete and nematode interactions on apple root development in replant soil by Emma L. Tilston, Gregory Deakin, Julie Bennett, Thomas Passey, Nicola Harrison, Felicidad Fernández, Xiangming Xu

“…Methods We used a reductionist approach to determine effects of one or more members of the ARD complex on ARD in a number of selected rootstock genotypes with contrasting characteristics. Through a 15-month pot-based experiment in which semi-selective biocides were applied to soil from a replant orchard, we investigated (1) the nature of the interactions (i.e. antagonistic, additive or synergistic) between different groups of soil biota and ARD severity, and (2) whether rootstock characteristics modify ARD severity. …”

Soil microbiome composition is highly responsive to precipitation and plant composition manipulations in a field biodiversity experiment by Haley M. Burrill, Haley M. Burrill, Susan M. Magnoli, James D. Bever

“…The soil microbiome is a complex system, consisting of multiple functional groups with contrasting life histories. Most studies of climate forces and plant biodiversity effects on microbiome consider the perturbations and the microbial functional groups in isolation preventing us from understanding the full picture of the relative and differential impacts of perturbations on microbial functional groups.MethodsWe measured changes in multiple microbial communities with different functionality, including plant mutualists and pathogens, after three growing seasons in a full-factorial experiment manipulating precipitation (50%, 150% of ambient), plant diversity, and plant composition. …”
