The phrase "alterations in community" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing changes or modifications that occur within a community, whether social, cultural, or environmental.
Example: "The study focused on the alterations in community dynamics following the introduction of new policies."
Alternatives: "changes in community" or "modifications in community".
Initially described in 2000, AZTI's Marine Biotic Index (AMBI) aims to assess alterations in communities of soft-bottom marine benthic macroinvertebrates caused by anthropogenic impacts.
This effect was closely related to the significant increases in the population size of narG-containing denitrifiers and obvious alterations in its community composition.
This review focuses on how the microbiota drives intestinal disease through alterations in microbial community architecture, disruption of the mucosal barrier, modulation of innate and adaptive immunity, and dysfunction of the enteric nervous system.
These changes have induced alterations in the community structure, reduced species diversity and live coral cover, and increased bioerosion (see review by Fabricius, [123]).
Here we tested how alterations in AMF community induced by an invasive plant species generate feedback to the invasive plant itself and affect subsequent interactions between the invasive species and its native neighbors.
Other issues highlighted by the report include changes in wildlife migration, alterations in species communities as plants and animals fail to move fast enough to thrive, sewer overflows polluting the coast, changes in the soil, erosion from heavier rains, loss of staff working-time from heat stress, changes in fish stocks, and wildfires in drier summers.
Alterations in soil communities tended to facilitate subsequent changes in soil structure and hydrology.
However, data here reported showed a significant alteration in bacterial community abundance at phylum as well as at genus levels, which could be associated with the effects of exercise and/or pathological conditions.Furthermore, our study revealed a significant alteration in bacterial community abundance at genus and species level as an effect of exercise and/or pathological stimuli.
These alterations in the benthic community were attributed to changes in bottom habitat characteristics rather than pollution effects.
We hypothesize these shifts originate at the resource level through alterations in the phytoplankton community either through composition or nutritive value in ponds receiving Aquashade®.
