This ecology experiment is one of many that have demonstrated how ecosystems with many

species tend to be more resilient than those with few species.

We're biased towards this particular grassland experiment because it's run by one of our writers, but strength in numbers - species numbers! - is also key to the health of ecosystems

In contrast, when a single species is dominant, it can cause problems.
En contraste, cuando una sola especie es dominante, puede causar problemas. Tomemos el caso de Clostridium
Take the case of Clostridium difficile, a natural part of your gut community that causes a severe inflammation of the colon when it becomes too abundant. This bacteria, often referred to as "C diff", was named "difficile" because it was difficult

But it is. C. diff infections often develop because these bacteria persist better and regenerate faster

Ironically, the standard treatment for C diff is yet more antibiotics - which sometimes

So vigorously, in fact, that of the roughly 500,000 people infected each year in the US,

Out of desperation came the idea to entirely replenish the gut microbiome - not with probiotics,
Fuera de la desesperación vino la idea del todo reponer el microbioma intestinal - no con probióticos,

In a "fecal microbiota transplantation," or "poop transplant," someone with a healthy,

The human gut isn't the only ecosystem where this germ of an idea is taking hold, either.
El intestino humano no es el único ecosistema donde este germen de una idea se está afianzando, tampoco.
For example, transplanting soil and plants from healthy fields to unhealthy ones helps
Por ejemplo, el trasplante de suelo y las plantas desde los campos sanos a los no saludables ayuda
knock back crop diseases and make soils more fertile; and transplanting water, snails & duckweed
llamar de nuevo enfermedades de los cultivos y hacer los suelos más fértil; y el trasplante de agua, caracoles y la lenteja de agua
from the pond to the aquarium helps maintain a well-balanced fishtank.

At the moment, microbial transplant therapy for disease control resides at the fringes

We will! From your C. diff to recoup, choose someone else's poop!
