ECOLOGICAL RESILIENCE OF
SOIL MICROBIAL COMMUNITIES
Stephanie D. Jurburg
The research presented in this thesis was carried out in the Microbial Ecology Group of the Groningen Institute for Evolutionary Life Sciences (GELIFES), formerly known as the Centre for Ecological and Evolutionary Studies (CEES); the Section of Microbiology at the University of Copenhagen; and the Centre for Functional Ecology in the Department of Life Sciences of the University of Coimbra, Portugal. Financial support was provided by the international project TRAINBIODIVERSE from the European Community’s Seventh Framework Program (FP7-PEOPLE-2011-ITN) under grant agreement no 289949.
