Fungal communities are more sensitive indicators to non-extreme soil moisture variations than bacterial communities (2015, background): “Indeed, it is well documented that when soil 317 water potential decreases, the metabolic activity of some microbial species is decreased 318 (Schimel et al., 2007; Manzoni et al., 2012).”
Effects of past and current drought on the composition and diversity of soil microbial communities (2019, background): “Water is so limiting to microbial growth (Manzoni et al., 2011) that”
Coupling between the terrestrial carbon and water cycles—a review (2019, background): “Soil moisture is also an important regulator of heterotrophic respiration (Manzoni et al 2012, Suseela et al 2012, Ryan et al 2015, Yan et al 2016, 2018, Zhang et al 2018a), which represents about half of the total CO2 emissions from soils.”
Microbial control over carbon cycling in soil (2012, background): “A meta-analysis of studies evaluating microbial respiration responses to water stress (Manzoni et al., 2012) showed that across a wide range of soils, the relationship between water potential and relative respiration is linear with a consistent threshold value at which respiration effectively stops…”
Modeling plant–water interactions: an ecohydrological overview from the cell to the global scale (2016, neutral): “Exchanges between the different pools are typically simulated as first-order kinetics processes that account for temperature and soil moisture effects or as higher-order kinetics of the type described by the Michaelis-Menten equation.(293,300,303,304) A fraction of carbon is lost in the decompositio”
Long-term and legacy effects of manure application on soil microbial community composition (2018, background): “Although some long-term studies have been conducted (Francioli et al. 2016; Neufeld et al. 2017; Zhong et al. 2010), further characterization of long-term manure effects on multiple aspects of soil microbial communities in different agro-ecological systems is required.”
Direct and indirect effects of climate change on soil microbial and soil microbial‐plant interactions: What lies ahead? (2015, background): “E-mail: aimee.classen@snm.ku.dk”
Cross-biome metagenomic analyses of soil microbial communities and their functional attributes (2012, background): “For example, we would expect nutrient cycling rates to be lower in desert systems than in more mesic systems due to moisture constraints (41), a pattern that was confirmed by the higher relative abundances of genes associated with nitrogen, potassium, and sulfur metabolism in the nondesert soils (Fi”
Life in Dry Soils: Effects of Drought on Soil Microbial Communities and Processes (2018, background): “Figure adapted from Bauer et al. (2008) with permission. relative to water potential show regular, defined patterns with distinct thresholds of water potential at which microbial activity ceases(Manzoni et al. 2012) (Figure 3).”
Increasing aridity reduces soil microbial diversity and abundance in global drylands (2015, positive): “These results suggest that soil microbial communities are limited by C in dryland soils (22, 23) and align with studies from polar regions, indicating that soil C content is a major driver of the diversity of soil bacteria and fungi (29).”
Biochar alters the soil microbiome and soil function: results of next‐generation amplicon sequencing across Europe (2017, background): “For example, biochar is known to increase pore space and decrease bulk density in soils, which in turn can lead to increased soil water content (Baronti et al., 2014) which could result in a selection pressure for bacterial communities (Manzoni et al., 2012).”
