Conversion of the Amazon rainforest to agriculture results in biotic homogenization of soil bacterial communities.

abstract：:The size of an organism reflects its metabolic rate, growth rate, mortality, and other important characteristics; therefore, the distribution of body size is a major determinant of ecosystem structure and function. Body-size distributions often are multimodal, with several peaks of abundant sizes, and previous studies...
