But when the grassland on the National Mall in Washington, DCwas replaced, it offered scientists the opportunity to study changes in t
11、he soil beneath.The work focused on the bacteria present in the soil. To the researchers surprise, the communities of microbes did not change a lot before and after the replacement. These communities in the soil are known as the soil microbiome (微生物群).“My lab is interested in how microbes can move a
12、round in the environment , and how they change and adapt as a result of this movement,” explains Jo Anne Crouch, the lead author of the study. “We thought that the new imported turf (草皮) from New Jersey would introduce different communities of bacteria to the National Mall. However, we found that th

It is made up of the grass, its roots, and the soil and microbes found with them.Think of the soil microbiome as similar to the collection of microbes found in the human body. When the micr
14、obes are out of balance , it can make someone sick. Crouch says its the same for the soil microbiome. Many of the worst diseases in crops or other environments are linked with changes in the soil microbiome.Additionally, Crouch says that even though the changes between the soils were small, scientists are also starting to appreciate that sometimes a really important microbe is a rare one. This means it would be hard to observe but could greatly affect how the groups function as a whole. “Agricultural areas and other natural spaces are highly and easily hurt by negative changes,” she
