Phenol oxidase, peroxidase and organic matter dynamics of soil (2010, background): “Data from Allison and Vitousek (2004) and Sinsabaugh et al. (2002) suggest that a critical LCI value of 0.4 separates litter types that show net positive or neutral phenol oxidase responses to N enrichment from those that show net negative responses (Fig.”
Nitrogen addition stimulates forest litter decomposition and disrupts species interactions in Patagonia, Argentina (2011, background): “…contradicts the few studies evaluating N effects on lignin degradation that have demonstrated no effect (Hobbie, 2008; Sinsabaugh et al., 2008; Allison et al., 2009) or inhibition (Carreiro et al., 2000; Sinsabaugh et al., 2002) of N fertilization on lignin-degrading enzyme in temperate…”
Climate change feedbacks to microbial decomposition in boreal soils (2011, background): “While there are many studies demonstrating that boreal fungi are important for decomposition (Lindahl et al. 2002; Virzo De Santo et al. 2002; Read et al. 2004; Allison et al. 2009; LeBauer 2010), there are few to support the assertion that bacteria and archaea are unimportant.”
Melanization of mycorrhizal fungal necromass structures microbial decomposer communities (2018, background): “Previous studies examining plant litter indicate that biochemistry and stoichiometry can have dramatic effects on decomposition, either slowing or speeding of carbon cycling depending on enzymatic capabilities of the microbes present (Allison et al., 2009; Liu, Keiblinger, Leitner, Mentler, & Zechme”
Structural and functional diversity of soil bacterial and fungal communities following woody plant encroachment in the southern Great Plains. (2010, background): “They are commonly present at both early and late stages of decomposition (Rayner and Boddy,1988), and they are thought tometabolize simple sugars and theby-products of lignindegradation (Allison et al., 2009).”
Laccases: toward disentangling their diversity and functions in relation to soil organic matter cycling (2010, background): “This might be explainable by interactions between litter chemistry and microbial guilds (Moorhead and Sinsabaugh 2006) due to the ability of species to exploit different resource niches (Hanson et al. 2008; Allison et al. 2009).”
