细菌和古细菌（原核生物）等微生物领域可能有数百万个物种，而我们才刚刚开始研究出控制它们在自然环境中的分布和丰度的基本原则。一个已经变得清晰的特征是，水生环境中的原核生物多样性比沉积物和土壤中的原核生物多样性低几个数量级。解释这些差异的假设和模型正在开发中，并开始为控制原核生物多样性和生态系统功能的机制提供有希望的见解。
There are probably millions of species in the microorganismal domains Bacteria and Archaea (the prokaryotes), and we are only just beginning to work out the basic principles governing their distribution and abundance in natural environments. One characteristic that has become clear is that prokaryote diversity in aquatic environments is orders of magnitude less than in sediments and soils. Hypotheses and models explaining such differences are under development and are beginning to offer promising insights into the mechanisms governing prokaryote diversity and ecosystem function.
