Abstract：
OBJECTIVE: Microbial community functioning can be highly dynamic over time. Identifying and understanding biotic factors that control functional stability is of significant interest for natural and engineered communities alike. Using plant litter decomposing communities as a model system, this study examined the stability of ecosystem function over time following repeated community transfers. By identifying microbial community features that are associated with stable ecosystem functions, microbial communities can be manipulated in ways that promote the consistency and reliability of the desired function, improving outcomes and increasing the utility of microorganisms.

目的：随着时间的推移，微生物群落功能可以是高度动态的。识别和理解控制功能稳定性的生物因素对于自然和工程社区都具有重要意义。使用植物凋落物分解群落作为模型系统，这项研究考察了重复社区转移后生态系统功能随时间的稳定性。通过识别与稳定的生态系统功能相关的微生物群落特征，微生物群落可以以促进所需功能的一致性和可靠性的方式进行操纵，改善结果，增加微生物的效用。
