Colonization patterns of soil microbial communities in the Atacama Desert.

While estimated cell abundances vary by up to two orders of magnitude between the northernmost and the southernmost samples (Table 2 ), mineralization rates and net amounts were similar between AL (2.4×10 4 cells g -1 of soil) and CH (1×10 5 cells g -1 of soil), suggesting that both cell abundance and physiological state might be significant in explaining the different rates of mineralization.
