Abstract: | Soil biota play an important role in the quality of the soil and plant productivity. However, they are underrepresented in the research, and their behavioural patterns are still not well-known. Investigating relationships among the microorganisms is time consuming when done with sampling soil, but with the new approach of using a simulating model, this problem could be simplified. By analysing the population dynamics of the organisms, applying the spatial co-occurrence algorithm and observing spatial dispersal plots, we found that in both predator-prey and competitor relationships, Bacteria goes extinct first, and its population numbers influence their predators more than it influences its competitor. |
