• Drought Stress and Root-Associated Bacterial Communities (2018, background): “Similarly, when comparing local soil communities in the presence of three common pasture plants, bacterial resistance and resilience to drying was distinct between the tested plant species (Orwin and Wardle, 2005).”
• Does agricultural crop diversity enhance soil microbial biomass and organic matter dynamics? A meta-analysis. (2014, background): “Plant diversity influences a range of ecosystem processes including primary productivity, pest suppression, decomposition, nutrient cycling, and soil organic matter (SOM) dynamics (Hooper et al. 2000, Tilman et al. 2002, Zak et al. 2003, Orwin and Wardle 2005).”
• Effects of plant species richness and evenness on soil microbial community diversity and function (2010, background): “…diversity (Bartelt-Ryser et al. 2005; Loranger-Merciris et al. 2006; Zak et al. 2003), though many studies have found limited species richness effects (Berg and Smalla 2009; Bezemer et al. 2006; Grüter et al. 2006; Kielak et al. 2008; Kowalchuk et al. 2002; Orwin and Wardle 2005; Zul et al. 2007).”
• Insights into the resistance and resilience of the soil microbial community. (2013, background): “Orwin & Wardle (2005) found no effect of plant biodiversity but a strong effect of plant species composition on the microbial resistance and resilience to a drought disturbance.”
• Plant functional groups mediate drought resistance and recovery in a multisite grassland experiment (2018, background): “Despite variation in the level of drought resistance recorded for grassland biomass production, numerous studies suggest that the capacity of grasslands to recover function after drought is high (Pimm, 1984; Hoover et al., 2014).”
