Exotic plant influences soil nematode communities through litter input (2007, background): “Plant litter differing in the quality may favor different soil microorganisms (Conn and Dighton, 2000; Kourtev et al., 2002b; Aneja et al., 2006) and invertebrates (Bjørnlund and Christensen, 2005; Georgieva et al.”
Effects of Single Chinese Fir and Mixed Leaf Litters on Soil Chemical, Microbial Properties and Soil Enzyme Activities (2006, background): “Many studies had reported that litter quality could influence enzyme activities in soil or litter during little decomposition (Christine and Dighton, 2000; Kourtev et al., 2000). Christine and Dighton (2000) investigated the ef-”
Decomposition and nutrient dynamics in mixed litter of Mediterranean species (2010, background): “The only evidence supporting this idea seems that by Conn and Dighton (2000) reporting a higher proliferation of roots in litterbags with mixtures of Pinus rigida and Quercus sp. compared to those with single species litters.”
Effects of Tree Species Diversity on Litter Quality and Decomposition (2005, background): “The presence of pine needles Pinus rigida Conn and Dighton increased the rate of oak leaf Quercus spp. (2000) decomposition.”
Competitive interactions among three ectomycorrhizal fungi and their relation to host plant performance (2007, methodology): “2007), and litter type (Conn & Dighton 2000).”
ECTOMYCORRHIZAL ABUNDANCE AND COMMUNITY COMPOSITION SHIFTS WITH DROUGHT: PREDICTIONS FROM TREE RINGS (2004, unknown): “…community composition were especially interesting because they were not associated with variation in soil factors as frequently reported in the literature (see Ed- wards and Kelly 1992, Roth and Fahey 1998, Bakker et al. 2000, Conn and Dighton 2000), but appeared to be related to host-plant stress.”
Litter production, leaf litter decomposition and nutrient return in Cunninghamia lanceolata plantations in south China: effect of planting conifers with broadleaved species (2007, background): “Studies about litter mixing effects on decomposition rate have not shown consistent results and can be positive, negative, or neutral depending on the combinations of species used (Conn and Dighton 2000; Hector et al. 2000; Nilsson et al. 1999; Wardle et al. 2003).”
Mycorrhizal diversity: Cause and effect? (2005, background): “Conn and Dighton (2000) demonstrated differences in EM fungi colonizing pine roots in artificially constructed mixtures of pine and oak leaf litter and suggest that the effect was due either to differences in nutrient availability or to the effect of leaf litter extracts on fungal growth (Baar et…”
Indirect host effect on ectomycorrhizal fungi: Leaf fall and litter quality explain changes in fungal communities on the roots of co-occurring Mediterranean oaks (2010, background): “During the last decade, numerous studies have tried to unveil the role that natural factors, such as environmental conditions and host plant community composition, have on the assemblage of ECM communities (Conn and Dighton, 2000; Dickie and Reich, 2005; Buée et al., 2007).”
Ectomycorrhizal fungi: the symbiotic route to the root for phosphorus in forest soils (2011, background): “There is some evidence that ECM fungal taxa with higher phosphomonoesterase activity may have a competitive advantage in soils where organic matter is relatively abundant and/or where P immobilisation in litter is relatively high (Conn and Dighton 2000; Hrynkiewicz et al. 2009).”
