Distribution of Soil Microbes in Urban Parks: An Effect of Under-Tree Crown and Hillside Position on Testate Amoeba Assemblages in Subtropics (Shenzhen, China)

Distribution of Soil Microbes in Urban Parks: An Effect of Under-Tree Crown and Hillside Position on Testate Amoeba Assemblages in Subtropics (Shenzhen, China)

Testate amoebae (TA) are important components of soil ecosystems, where they play an essential role in belowground food webs. In this study, we examined species composition, diversity, and structure of TA assemblages in soils beneath tree crowns (microscale) at three slope positions (mesoscale) in s...
