Short-term dynamics of soil organic matter fractions and microbial activity in smallholder potato-legume intercropping systems (2019, background): “Generally, the microbial biomass is activated by continuous addition of substrates, resulting in increased production of extra-cellular enzymes that enhances the microbial activity (Loeppmann et al., 2016).”
Deciphering the associations between soil microbial diversity and ecosystem multifunctionality driven by long‐term fertilization management (2018, background): “Enzyme activities that are now widely employed as indicators of soil quality functional potency (Loeppmann et al., 2016) and ecosystem functional indices (Bastida et al., 2016) could be sensitive to shifts in both soil properties and microbial diversity (Strickland & Rousk, 2010).”
Forest Soil Bacteria: Diversity, Involvement in Ecosystem Processes, and Response to Global Change (2017, background): “for bacterial strains with rapid growth and low-affinity substrate enzymes (r-strategists) that are enriched in comparison to the bulk soil profile (73, 132).”
Bacterial rather than fungal community composition is associated with microbial activities and nutrient-use efficiencies in a paddy soil with short-term organic amendments (2018, background): “Therefore, MB and EEA are tightly coupled to the quantity and quality of C inputs as well as the formation and decomposition of organic matter (Kallenbach and Grandy 2011; Loeppmann et al. 2016).”
