Host selection is not a universal driver of phyllosphere community assembly among ecologically similar native New Zealand plant species by Anya S. Noble, Jaber Abbaszadeh, Charles K. Lee

“…In contrast, the phyllosphere community compositions of neighbouring, ecologically similar native plants were highly variable, suggesting that stochastic processes, such as dispersal, had a stronger influence on the phyllosphere microbiomes of those non-mānuka plants compared to the phyllosphere microbiome of mānuka. …”

Differences in Biogeographic Patterns and Mechanisms of Assembly in Estuarine Bacterial and Protist Communities by Weiyue Zhang, Yunlei Zhang, Zhizhuo Shao, Yi Sun, Hongjun Li

“…In addition, the two community assemblages were shown to be dominated by deterministic and stochastic processes, respectively. Furthermore, our results emphasized the influence of the local species pool on microbial communities and the fact that, at larger scales, geographic factors played a more significant role than environmental factors in driving microbial community variation. …”

Investigation of new solitary stochastic structures to the Heisenberg ferromagnetic spin chain model via a Stratonovich sense by Md. Nur Alam

“…The results offer significant insights into understanding and modeling intricate behaviors across various scientific and engineering fields, showcasing the versatility and applicability of the MG'/GE scheme for addressing complex nonlinear evolution equations (NLEEs) influenced by stochastic processes. The dynamic properties and features of these solutions are extensively examined through 3-dimensional, 2-dimensional and contour plots. …”

Evaluation of the current status and risks of aquatic ecology in the Jialing River Basin based on the characteristics and succession trends of phytoplankton communities by Maojin Huang, Fei Xu, Jia Xia, Xue Yang, Fubin Zhang, Siyao Liu, Tuo Zhang

“…The aquatic ecosystem health was better in autumn than in spring and in the mainstem than in the tributary. 3) Ammonia nitrogen and permanganate indices were key drivers of community composition in the tributary, while the main stem was negatively correlated with total phosphorus, ammonia nitrogen, and permanganate indices. 4) Stochastic processes dominated the assembly of phytoplankton communities in spring in the Jialing River, while autumn in the Jialing and Xichong Rivers (tributary river) and spring in the Xichong River were mainly dominated by deterministic processes. …”

Energy Efficiency of Using Hybrid Heating Points in Conditions of Integration of Electrical and Thermal Networks of Urban Neighborhoods. Part 1. Justification of the Feasibility of... by A. V. Sednin, M. I. Pozdnyakova

“…The paper discusses the circumstances and technical solutions that contribute to the integration of electrical and thermal networks of urban neighborhoods within the framework of a surplus of electricity generating capacities arising from the imbalance in the development of energy generation and consumption, stochastic processes of market economy development, the transfer of energy-intensive industrial production to other countries, the desire to diversify fuel energy resources, passion for the construction of energy sources for alternative energy resources in counterbalance to traditional energy facilities without taking into account all aspects of the interaction of the former with the environment, etc. …”

A novel framework unveiling the importance of heterogeneous selection and drift on the community structure of symbiotic microbial indicator taxa across altitudinal gradients in amp... by Jin Zhou, Zhidong Liu, Sishuo Wang, Jing Li, Lin Zhang, Ziyan Liao

“…In different altitude groups, we found that heterogeneous selection governed the community structure of symbiotic microbes across DSUs, while stochastic processes tended to increase with altitude. For DTUs at phylum and family levels, drift emerged as the dominant mechanism driving the community structure in the most symbiotic microbial taxa, while heterogeneous selection governs the most dominant or indicator taxa. …”

Small molecule metabolites drive plant rhizosphere microbial community assembly patterns by Yanwei Ma, Heqi Wang, Yalong Kang, Tao Wen

“…Variable selection (βNTI >2) drove phylogenetic turnover in ST, while stochastic processes (|βNTI| < 2) dominated in CK. This study provides quantitative insights into the role of rhizosphere metabolites in shaping microbial community assembly and highlights their potential for targeted modulation of rhizosphere microbiomes.…”

Differential impacts of water diversion and environmental factors on bacterial, archaeal, and fungal communities in the eastern route of the South-to-North water diversion project by Moran Tang, Qian Chen, Xinzong Xiao, Yitao Lyu, Weiling Sun

“…Robustness analyses revealed reduced community stability during the WDP, with water diversion primarily influencing bacterial stability, while environmental factors had a greater impact on archaeal and fungal communities. Stochastic processes, primarily homogenizing dispersal and drift, intensified for bacterial and fungal communities during the WDP. …”

The dynamics of lowland river sections of Danube and Tisza in the Carpathian basin by Imre M. Jánosi, Imre M. Jánosi, István Zsuffa, István Zsuffa, Tibor Bíró, Boglárka O. Lakatos, Boglárka O. Lakatos, András Szöllősi-Nagy, Zsolt Hetesi, Zsolt Hetesi

“…The empirical histograms for half-daily water level changes can be well-fitted by piecewise-exponential functions containing four or three sections, consistent with the understanding that level changes are deterministic rather than stochastic processes, as is well known in hydrology. Such statistical tests can serve as benchmarks for modeling water levels and discharges. …”

Spartina alterniflora invasion significantly alters the assembly and structure of soil bacterial communities in the Yellow River Delta by Pengyuan Sun, Yuxin Wu, Pengcheng Zhu, Jingfeng Wang, Jingfeng Wang, Xiaona Yu, Weihua Guo

“…In comparison, S. alterniflora-associated bacterial communities were enriched with both sulfate-reducing bacteria (SEEP-SRB1) and sulfate-oxidizing bacteria (Sulfurimonas), which maintained a dynamic balance in the local sulfur-cycle, and thereby enhanced S. alterniflora growth. In addition, stochastic processes dominated the assembly of soil bacterial communities associated with all four plant species, but were most important for the S. alterniflora community. …”
