ABSTRACT

Abstract Soil, the living terrestrial skin of the Earth, plays an imperative role in supporting life and is a habitat to an incredible diversity of microorganisms. Soil bacteria facilitate most biogeochemical cycles and comprise the majority of global biodiversity. There is widespread awareness for the importance of understanding the bacterial community response to land use change. When ecosystems go through transformation, biochemical cycles are often profoundly altered and the diversity of plant and animal communities can decrease, along with changes in species composition. The development and growth of an extensive transportation system has many significant impacts on the terrestrial biological communities. Shifts in the diversity and composition of soil bacterial communities may have important implications for ecosystem function. Higher diversity levels have been associated with increased resistance, resilience, and/or stability of ecosystem function for a variety of aboveground ecosystems. Community composition has also been reported to affect ecosystem function. There is an urgent need to preserve this thin layer of the terrestrial surface that teems with life. This review explores the response of microbes to different land use practices.
