Spatial scaling of functional gene diversity across various microbial taxa.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 3 Jun 2008

Zhou Jizhong, Kang Sanghoon, Schadt Christopher W, Garten Charles T

Abstract excerpt

Understanding the spatial patterns of organisms and the underlying mechanisms shaping biotic communities is a central goal in community ecology. One of the most well documented spatial patterns in plant and animal communities is the positive-power law relationship between species (or taxa) richness and area. Such taxa-area relationships (TARs) are one of the principal generalizations in ecology, and are...
