Adaptive Resilience

The term “resilience” originated in environmental studies and describes the biological capacity to adapt and thrive under adverse environmental conditions. Regional economic resilience is defined as the capacity of a territory’s economy to resist and/or recover quickly from external shocks, even improving its situation from the pre-shock status. This editorial introduction provides a summary of the eleven contributions included in the special issue on regions and economic resilience. These eleven articles focus on different channels related to processes of mitigation (resistance-recovery) and adaptive resilience (reorientation-renewal) in a wide variety of geographical settings and scales. They include methodological advances and also relevant results from a policy perspective. The editorial concludes by providing some directions for future research.

Water Bears

Tardigrada (water bears) are microscopic invertebrates inhabiting aquatic (freshwater and marine) and terrestrial habitats. They are thriving in almost all Earth ecosystems from deepest oceans to highest mountains, from tropics to polar regions. Water bears are probably most famous for their cryptobiotic abilities, which allow them to survive a broad spectrum of extreme environmental conditions. The Special Issue on tardigrades was launched to popularize research on these fascinating microinvertebrates. The published papers were focused on (a) marine and terrestrial tardigrades diversity, (b) interpopulation variability of Antarctic eutardigrade Paramacrobiotus fairbanksi, (c) encystment in freshwater eutardigrade Thulinius ruffoi and (d) use of a metabarcoding approach to community structures studies in microenvironments.

Culture Dependent

Plant-associated microbiomes have been suggested as pivotal for the growth and health of natural vegetation and agronomic plants. In this sense, plant-associated microbiomes harbor a huge diversity of microorganisms (such as bacteria and fungi) which can modulate the plant host response against pathogens and changing environmental conditions through a complex network of genetic, biochemical, physical, and metabolomics interactions. Advances on next-generation omic technologies have opened the possibility to unravel this complex microbial diversity and their interactive networks as never described before. In parallel, the develop of novel culture-dependent methods are also crucial to the study of the biology of members of plant-associated microbiomes and their bioprospecting as sources of bioactive compounds, or as tools to improve the productivity of agriculture. This Special Issue aims to motivate and collect recent studies which are focused on exploring the diversity and ecology of plant-associated microbiomes and their genetic and metabolic interactions with other microorganisms or their plant hosts, as well as their potential biotechnological applications in diverse fields, such as inoculants for agriculture.
