N2 - The goal of the present study was to determine the influence of fine-scale landscape patchiness on abiotic components and microbial communities and the interplay of these two systems in sandy soil ecosystems. The fieldwork was carried out in stable sandy soil ecosystems near Caesarea, Israel, with a Mediterranean climate. In order to quantify the distribution of soil microbial communities at multiple spatial scales, a survey was conducted to examine the spatial organization of the community structure at two sandy soil sites, yielding a total of 144 soil samples collected from the 0-10 cm and 10-20 cm soil layers. Soil abiotic analysis was performed by soil standard analytical methods, while the biotic components were measured by using a MicroResp™ system. The results obtained established that microbial-community distribution can be highly structured, within a habitat that appears relatively homogeneous
