Journal ArticleDOI
Bacterial diversity promotes community stability and functional resilience after perturbation
TL;DR: The findings indicate that, although soil communities may be robust, relationships between diversity and stability need to be considered in developing a predictive understanding of response to environmental perturbations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of heterotrophic nitrification in a sierran forest soil.
TL;DR: A potential for heterotrophic nitrification was identified in soil from a mature conifer forest and from a clear-cut site and was greater than that for autotrophicNitrification.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of elevated CO2 on rhizosphere carbon flow and soil microbial processes
Eric Paterson,J. M. Hall,Elizabeth A. S. Rattray,Bryan S. Griffiths,Karl Ritz,Kenneth Stuart Killham +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, a review of approaches to measure C-flow from roots, in particular, as affected by increased atmospheric CO2 concentration is presented, and the available evidence for impacts on microbial communities inhabiting this niche, which constitutes an interface for possible perturbations on terrestrial ecosystems through the influence of environmental change.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nitrification in coniferous forest soils.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors discussed the most likely process controls for net and potential rates of nitrification in coniferous forest soils, including substrate availability, pH, allelopathy, water potential, nutrient status and temperature.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vesicular arbuscular mycorrhizal mediation of grass response to acidic and heavy metal depositions
TL;DR: It is proposed that mycorrhizal enhancement of heavy metal uptake caused reduced growth in plants exposed to acidic and heavy metal depositions.
