• 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): “Another possible reason for the emergence that bacteria dominate in soil is bacteria are more efficient colonizers of the organic resources under conventional tillage practices (Strickland and Rousk 2010).”
• Influence of reduced tillage on earthworm and microbial communities under organic arable farming (2013, background): “Reduced mechanical perturbance, increased soil moisture content and altered distribution of organic substrates in the soil profile may cause shifts in bacterial and fungal biomass ratios (Strickland and Rousk 2010).”
• Revisiting the hypothesis that fungal-to-bacterial dominance characterizes turnover of soil organic matter and nutrients (2015, result): “Our results highlight the fact that many of the important dogma held as true in soil microbial ecology have limited empirical support (Strickland and Rousk 2010).”
• Comparative metagenomic, phylogenetic and physiological analyses of soil microbial communities across nitrogen gradients (2011, background): “Although the fungi can represent a significant proportion of belowground biomass (Strickland and Rousk, 2010), their minimal representation in the metagenome was likely a product of bacteria having higher rRNA gene concentrations per unit biomass.”
• Integrating microbial ecology into ecosystem models: challenges and priorities (2012, background): “At least some species of bacteria and fungi overlap in their contributions to ecosystem processes (Strickland and Rousk 2010; Yin et al. 2000).”
• Who is who in litter decomposition? Metaproteomics reveals major microbial players and their biogeochemical functions (2012, background): “Microbial succession is mainly influenced by leaf-litter quality Previously, it has been shown that litter quality affects decomposing community and ecosystem The ISME Journal processes (Prescott, 2010; Strickland and Rousk, 2010).”
• Effects of past and current drought on the composition and diversity of soil microbial communities (2019, methodology): “biomass or growth) and the method used (Strickland and Rousk, 2010).”
• Patterns and mechanisms of responses by soil microbial communities to nitrogen addition (2017, background): “First, the microbial C:N provides an indication for the relative prevalence of fungi over bacteria, and vice versa (Nannipieri et al., 2003; Strickland and Rousk, 2010; Zechmeister-Boltenstern et al., 2015).”
