Wetland macrophyte decomposition under different nutrient conditions : Relationships between decomposition rate, enzyme activities and microbial biomass (2007, background): “According to various studies (Gulis and Suberkropp, 2003), bacterial C linked with leaf litter of different plant species increases rapidly in the first 30 days of decomposition, then reaches a plateau and remains stable for the next 200 days.”
Longitudinal and altitudinal changes of macroinvertebrate functional feeding groups in neotropical streams : a test of the River Continuum Concept (2007, background): “…shredders depends, among other factors (e.g., leaf hardness), on microbial colonization of leaves, i.e., conditioning of leaves (Gessner et al. 1999, Graça et al. 2001), which may increase with water temperature (Irons et al. 1994, Fabre & Chauvet 1998) and eutrophication (Gulis & Suberkropp 2003).”
Does mixing litter of different qualities alter stream microbial diversity and functioning on individual litter species (2009, methodology): “Although changes in bacterial and fungal biomass related with litter chemistry (Webster and Benfield 1986, Gulis and Suberkropp 2003, Kominoski et al. 2007) and litter diversity (Kominoski et al. 2007) have been reported in the literature, biomass is a static measurement and may not fully integrate…”
Diversity and functions of leaf‐decaying fungi in human‐altered streams (2008, unknown): “A large amount of experimental data indicated that anthropogenic nutrients can stimulate fungal spore production and mycelial biomass on leaves (Suberkropp, 1998; Grattan & Suberkropp, 2001; Gulis & Suberkropp, 2003).”
Synergistic effects of water temperature and dissolved nutrients on litter decomposition and associated fungi (2011, methodology): “Nutrient enrichment generally stimu- lates litter decomposition and associated biota (Elwood et al., 1981; Suberkropp & Chauvet, 1995; Rosemond et al., 2002; Gulis & Suberkropp, 2003a; Niyogi et al., 2003; Pascoal et al., 2003; Gulis et al., 2004, 2006; Ferreira et al., 2006b).”
Interactions between stream fungi and bacteria associated with decomposing leaf litter at different levels of nutrient availability (2003, unknown): “Single spore isolates of each aquatic hyphomycete species that displayed high sporulation rates from maple leaf litter in a previous study (Gulis & Suberkropp 2003), and hence were active in leaf litter decomposition, were obtained in accordance with Descals (1997).”
Stimulation of leaf litter decomposition and associated fungi and invertebrates by moderate eutrophication : implications for stream assessment (2006, background): “…which is not surprising as stimulation of leaf associated fungi by nutrients in laboratory microcosms (Suberkropp, 1998a; Sridhar & Bärlocher, 2000; Gulis & Suberkropp, 2003a) and in whole-stream nutrient addition experiments (Gulis & Suberkropp, 2003b; Stelzer et al., 2003; Gulis et al., 2004;…”
Wetland plant decomposition under different nutrient conditions: what is more important, litter quality or site quality? (2006, background): “There is not a great deal on information on PLFA content in decomposing samples, but the available data are in agreement with our finding of higher PLFA content in P-enriched litter/plots ( Gulis and Suberkropp 2003; Poll et al. 2003; Bu ¨nemann et al.”
Ecological stoichiometry in freshwater benthic systems: recent progress and perspectives (2005, background): “Decomposition can be related both to C : N : P ratios of vegetation (Enriquez et al., 1993; but see Gessner & Chauvet, 1994) and dissolved nutrient concentrations (e.g. Suberkropp & Chauvet, 1995; Gulis & Suberkropp, 2003).”
Diversity and activity of aquatic fungi under low oxygen conditions (2009, background): “Generally, low to moderate nutrient concentrations stimulate fungal activity (Gulis & Suberkropp, 2003b; Gulis et al., 2006); however, high nutrients may lead to eutrophication and oxygen depletion, the combined effects of which on aquatic biota and processes are difficult to predict (Allan, 1995;…”
Stream microbial ecology (2010, background): “…studies have provided very clear evidence for greater microbial standing stocks (and hence nutrient immobilization) following addition of environmentally realistic quantities of N and P (e.g., Grattan and Suberkropp 2001, Gulis and Suberkropp 2003a, b, Cross et al. 2006, Greenwood et al. 2007).”
The influence of dissolved nutrients and particulate organic matter quality on microbial respiration and biomass in a forest stream (2003, background): “ Gulis and Suberkropp (2003) also compared the response of fungi and bacteria on leaves to nutrient enrichment in a forest stream.”
Eucalyptus plantations affect fungal communities associated with leaf-litter decomposition in Iberian streams (2006, background): “Nitrogen content of both leaf types increased through time as expected following fungal colonization (e. g. Molinero et al. 1996, Pozo et al. 1998, Sampaio et al. 2001, Gulis & Suberkropp 2003) while phosphorus showed a more erratic pattern.”
