Microbial population dynamics on leaves in time and space are a function of immigration, emigration, growth, and death. Insight into the relative significance of each population process to the generation of specific dynamics for individual microorganisms is necessary to understanding the ecology and life history strategy of the microorganism and to developing effective control strategies. Additionally, information on the significance of within-leaf versus extra-leaf processes to the generation of phyllosphere dynamics is important to determining the range of spatial scales over which a population should be studied. Unfortunately, such information is difficult to obtain due to the lack of effective methodologies for distinguishing these processes within phyllosphere populations. Future research efforts should focus on the quantification of immigration, emigration, growth, and death relative to the population dynamics of phyllosphere microorganisms.

叶片上的微生物种群动态。

树叶在时间和空间上的微生物种群动态是迁移，迁移，生长和死亡的函数。必须深入了解每个种群过程对产生特定微生物的动力学的相对重要性，以理解微生物的生态学和生命史策略并制定有效的控制策略。此外，有关叶内和叶外过程对叶环动力学产生的重要性的信息对于确定应研究种群的空间尺度范围很重要。不幸的是，由于缺乏有效的方法来区分叶球群体内的这些过程，因此难以获得此类信息。
