Journal ArticleDOI
Mineral vs. Organic Amendments: Microbial Community Structure, Activity and Abundance of Agriculturally Relevant Microbes Are Driven by Long-Term Fertilization Strategies
TL;DR: The effects of different fertilization regimes (mineral, organic and combined mineral and organic fertilization), carried out for more than a century, on the structure and activity of the soil microbiome are reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of slope exposure on soil physico-chemical and microbiological properties along an altitudinal climosequence in the Italian Alps.
Tommaso Bardelli,Tommaso Bardelli,María Gómez-Brandón,Judith Ascher-Jenull,Judith Ascher-Jenull,Flavio Fornasier,Paola Arfaioli,Davide Francioli,Markus Egli,Giacomo Sartori,Heribert Insam,Giacomo Pietramellara +11 more
TL;DR: The multidisciplinary approach allowed us to survey the exposure and altitudinal effects on soil physico-chemical and microbiological properties and thus unravel the complex multiple edaphic factor-effects on soil microbiota in mountain ecosystems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microbial community development and unseen diversity recovery in inoculated sterile soil
Tom O. Delmont,Tom O. Delmont,Davide Francioli,Sophie Jacquesson,Sandra Laoudi,Alban Mathieu,Joseph Nesme,Maria Teresa Ceccherini,Paolo Nannipieri,Pascal Simonet,Timothy M. Vogel +10 more
TL;DR: Observations support the idea that different temperate soil microbial communities have different evenness due to environmental physico-chemical variations, yet have similar community composition (richness), and thus develop similarly when colonizing the same habitat.
Journal ArticleDOI
Do soil-borne fungal pathogens mediate plant diversity–productivity relationships? Evidence and future opportunities
TL;DR: Empirical evidence suggests host-specific, negative density-dependent effects of fungal pathogens are common and that the reduced impact of pathogens at high plant diversity depends not just on host density but also on effects of neighbouring (non-host) plant species on the pathogen.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plant functional group drives the community structure of saprophytic fungi in a grassland biodiversity experiment
Davide Francioli,Sophie van Rijssel,Jasper van Ruijven,Aad J. Termorshuizen,T. E. Anne Cotton,Alex J. Dumbrell,Jos M. Raaijmakers,Alexandra Weigelt,Liesje Mommer +8 more
TL;DR: The richness and community structure of the root-associated saprophytic fungi can largely be predicted by plantfunctional groups and their associated root traits, which means that the effects of plant diversity on ecosystem functions such as litter decomposition may also be predictable using information on plant functional groups in grasslands.
