Probability distribution of heavy rainfall and determination of IDF in the city of Caruaru – PE by Kevin Matheus Correia Mendes, Aline Lima de Oliveira, Lucas Ravellys Pyrrho de Alcântara, Adriana Thays Araújo Alves, Severino Martins dos Santos Neto, Artur Paiva Coutinho, Suzana Maria Gico Lima Montenegro, José Moura Soares, Antonio Celso Dantas Antonino

“…Rain forecasting depends on several factors, which makes estimating it simpler with stochastic processes. In this sense, the distributions of Gumbel (GUM), Log-Normal two-parameter (LN2P), Generalized Extreme Value (GEV), Fréchet with two and three parameters (FRE2P and FRE3P), Weibull with two and three parameters (W2P and W3P), Gamma (GAM2P), and Pareto with two and three parameters (PAR2P and PAR3P) were evaluated to the annual maximum daily precipitation (AMDP) adjustment in the city of Caruaru (Pernambuco´s Agreste). …”

Metabarcoding reveals the differential sensitivity of planktonic microbiome to environmental filtering and biointeraction in Sansha Yongle blue hole by Tianying Chen, Yunyun Zhuang, Yunyun Zhuang, Chang Chen, Xuewei Mao, Ruping Ge, Hongju Chen, Hongju Chen, Jianwei Chen, Jianwei Chen, Liang Fu, Zuosheng Yang, Guangxing Liu, Guangxing Liu

“…Our results revealed the distinct separation of communities from upper oxic, middle oxic and suboxic-anoxic layer and significant day-night difference was detected in the upper-layer community of microeukaryotes, indicating potential diel migration. Stochastic processes played a significant role in the community assembly of microeukaryotes, while deterministic processes dominated in prokaryotes, confirming the stronger environmental filtering on prokaryotes as also suggested by the correlation with environmental variables. …”

Stronger effects of simultaneous warming and precipitation increase than the individual factor on soil bacterial community composition and assembly processes in an alpine grassland by Xiaoting Wei, Bing Han, Bo Wu, Xinqing Shao, Yongqiang Qian

“…Furthermore, weighted mean ribosomal operon copy numbers that positively correlated with plant aboveground biomass increased remarkably in the combination treatment, indicating a trend of life-history strategies shift from oligotrophic to copiotrophic. Stochastic processes dominated soil bacterial community, and the proportion of stochasticity increased under the combination treatment. …”

Nutrients Changed the Assembly Processes of Profuse and Rare Microbial Communities in Coals by Zhang Yuanyuan, Xue Sheng, Chang Xiaohua, Li Yang, Yue Xuelian

“…In addition, the compositions of most of the profuse and rare genera in communities were driven by stochastic processes, and nutrient stimulation increased the relative contribution of dispersal limitation for both profuse and rare microbial community assemblages and that of variable selection for rare microbial community assemblages. …”

Green manuring facilitates bacterial community dispersal across different compartments of subsequent tobacco by Hai LIANG, Li-bo FU, Hua CHEN, Guo-peng ZHOU, Song-juan GAO, Wei-dong CAO

“…For the different green manuring practices, the neutral community model explained 24.6–27.6% of detection frequency for bacteria, and at least one compartment under each practice had a normalized stochasticity ratio higher than the 50% boundary point, suggesting that the deterministic and stochastic processes jointly shaped the tobacco microbiome. …”

“…The bacterial community variation was driven by deterministic processes in winter but dominated by stochastic processes in summer. Compared to winter, the network of bacterial communities in summer exhibited a higher average degree, modularity, and keystone taxa (hubs and connectors in a network), thereby forming a highly complex and stable community structure. …”

The selection of copiotrophs may complicate biodiversity-ecosystem functioning relationships in microbial dilution-to-extinction experiments by Zhendu Mao, Zifan Zhao, Jun Da, Ye Tao, Huabing Li, Biying Zhao, Peng Xing, Qinglong Wu

“…Here, a microcosm study and a meta-analysis of DTE studies were carried out to explore the dominant community assembly processes and their potential effect on exploring BEF relationships. While stochastic processes were dominant at low dilution levels due to the high number of rare species, the deterministic processes became stronger at a higher dilution level because the microbial copiotrophs were selected during the regrowth phase and rare species were lost. …”
