Even after death the endophytic fungus of Schedonorus phoenix reduces the arbuscular mycorrhizas of other plants (2008, background): “Moreover, the endophyteinfected thatch would decompose more slowly than the endophyte-free thatch (Omacini et al. 2004).”
Endophyte symbiosis with tall fescue: how strong are the impacts on communities and ecosystems? (2007, unknown): “For example, Omacini et al. (2004) found that litter decomposition in microcosms using Lolium multiflorum was affected by Fig.”
Effects of fungal endophytes on grass and non-grass litter decomposition rates (2011, background): “The potential of fungal endophytes to decelerate decomposition rates in grasses have been investigated (Omacini et al. 2004; Lemons et al. 2005; Siegrist et al. 2010).”
Plant secondary metabolites: a key driver of litter decomposition and soil nutrient cycling (2016, background): “This endophytic production of alkaloids in plants has been shown to slow litter decomposition rates by influencing the activity of microorganisms and detritivores (Omacini et al. 2004; Lemons, Clay & Rudgers 2005; Purahong & Hyde 2011; Iqbal et al. 2012).”
Non‐native grass alters growth of native tree species via leaf and soil microbes (2009, unknown): “It has been suggested that endophyte-produced alkaloids and other changes in plant chemistry inhibit microbial activity and alter microbial composition in soil and litter (Franzluebbers et al. 1999; Omacini et al. 2004; Jenkins et al. 2006).”
Ecological importance of Neotyphodium spp. grass endophytes in agroecosystems (2006, background): “Support for the hypothesis of reduced microbial activity in soils grown with E+ Italian ryegrass was presented by Omacini et al. (2004), where leaf litter from E+ Italian ryegrass decomposed more slowly than E– leaf litter.”
