The phrase "assembling communities" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing the process of bringing people together to form a group or community, often for a common purpose or interest.
Example: "The organization focuses on assembling communities to promote local art and culture."
Alternatives: "building communities" or "creating communities".
The BigNeuron initiative is assembling community-generated, open-source, automated reconstruction algorithms into an open platform, and is beginning to generate an increasing flow of high-quality reconstructed neurons.
By contrast, the composition of naturally assembled communities is determined by environmental filters, species recruitment and dispersal, and other assembly processes.
We then assembled resident communities in all possible species combinations (b), and defined resource competition networks characteristics (connectance, nestedness and niche overlap) for all assembled communities.
The dominant protocol to study the effects of plant diversity on ecosystem functioning has involved synthetically assembled communities, in which the experimental design determines species composition.
The average effect of individual species on ecosystem processes in a background of randomly assembled communities that differ in average productivity have been evaluated.
Removal experiments, in which the diversity of naturally assembled communities is manipulated by removing various components, complement synthetic-assemblage experiments in exploring the relationship between diversity and ecosystem functioning.
It is noteworthy, however, that variables like species diversity and clumping are to some extent linked; in randomly assembled communities, clumps are larger when species diversity is lower (De Boeck et al. 2006).
In contrast to artificially assembled communities, the taxa within these communities co-occur and interact naturally.
We examined phylogenetic patterns of natural colonization, extinction and biomass production in experimentally assembled communities.
This works for artificially assembled communities in plots, pots or vials under homogenous and reproducible conditions.
