• Arbuscular mycorrhizae and terrestrial ecosystem processes (2004, background): “For example, Johnson et al. (2003b) examined N fertilization effects on AMF over a wide range of grasslands in North America.”
• Effect of the exotic invasive plant Solidago gigantea on soil phosphorus status (2006, background): “Plant species composition through root activity (exudation) is likely to determine critically the biomass, the diversity and the functional capacities of microbial species (Kourtev et al. 2002; Johnson et al. 2003; Chen et al. 2004).”
• The Role of Microbial Communities in the Formation and Decomposition of Soil Organic Matter (2010, background): “decomposition of the added carbon compounds (Catovsky et al. 2002; Marschner et al. 2001; Johnson et al. 2003; Brant et al. 2006; Hamilton and Frank 2001; Grayston et al. 1996).”
• Relationship between vegetation diversity and soil functional diversity in native mixed-oak forests (2008, background): “Lately, an increasing number of reports are appearing in the literature on the relationship between vegetation structure and the activity and diversity of soil biota (Johnson et al., 2003; Porazinska et al., 2003; De Deyn et al., 2004; Salamon et al., 2004).”
• Cadaver decomposition in terrestrial ecosystems (2006, background): “A change in plant community structure will, in turn, probably affect soil microbial communities (Johnson et al. 2003) and the organisms that feed upon them (e.g. nematodes, protozoa).”
