DESCRIPTION:In an incipient soil system\, the biotic component of soil deve
 lopment is microbially driven. However\, there is limited understanding of
  microbial community establishment\, functional associations\, and communi
 ty assembly processes in such systems. Additionally\, in a incipient syste
 m lacking higher life forms like plants\, microbes are the first biotic en
 tity to participate in carbon dynamics. This study presents a unique appro
 ach of examining microbial signatures in a incipient terrestrial basalt so
 il system conducted under controlled conditions at the Landscape Evolution
  Observatory at University of Arizona. A combination of phylogenetic analy
 sis\, ultra-high resolution carbon compound characterization\, and ecologi
 cal null models were employed to highlight the complexity exhibited by mic
 roorganisms even in the simplest of environmental systems. This presents a
 n opportunity to further develop our understanding of how microbial commun
 ities establish\, evolve\, impact\, and respond in incipient environmental
  systems.
