In this study, German researchers investigated the mobilization of certain bacterial populations present in the soil after dynamic hydraulic events. Their findings were published in the journal Soil Biology and Biochemistry.
Based on these findings, the researchers concluded that mobilized bacteria have the potential to influence bacterial activities and communities in subsoils. This highlights the need to better understand how dynamic hydraulic events influence soil microbial populations and communities, as well as the movement of carbon in the soil.
