Specialized metabolic functions of keystone taxa sustain soil microbiome stability (2021, background): “Compared to the broad processes, such as carbohydrate metabolism within the dominant taxa, the specialized metabolic functions consisting of narrow processes (for instance, nitrogen fixation, or ammonia oxidation that only consisting of a single step) devoted to a small group of specific microorgani”

Where less may be more: how the rare biosphere pulls ecosystems strings (2017, background): “A decrease of 75% of the measured species richness reduced soil denitrifying activity by a factor of 4–5 fold (Philippot et al., 2013), suggesting that dominant species cannot carry out this process alone.”
Soil “Ecosystem” Services and Natural Capital: Critical Appraisal of Research on Uncertain Ground (2016, background): “A similar criticism can be levied against the work of Philippot et al. (2013), who also claim to relate biodiversity to nitrogen cycling, viewed as an ecosystem service.”
Linking N2O emissions from biochar-amended soil to the structure and function of the N-cycling microbial community (2013, background): “In temperate, arable soils major determinants of microbial N2O formation are oxygen partial pressure, pH, H2S concentration and the availability and speciation of nitrogen and organic carbon (Blackmer and Bremner, 1978; Sorensen et al., 1980; Stevens et al., 1998; Senga et al., 2006; Wallenstein et ”
Do manure-borne or indigenous soil microorganisms influence the spread of antibiotic resistance genes in manured soil? (2017, methodology): “Around 6 and 0.8 kg of soil and manure were treated by g-irradiation (25 kGy) with a 60Co source in order to prepare the treatments used in the following microcosm experiments (Wertz et al., 2006; van Elsas et al., 2012; Philippot et al., 2013).”
Bacterial diversity amplifies nutrient‐based plant–soil feedbacks (2015, background): “(van Elsas et al. 2012; Becker et al. 2012; Philippot et al. 2013; Jousset et al. 2014), indicating that community functioning is determined by interactions among community members.”
Metagenomic reconstruction of nitrogen cycling pathways in a CO2-enriched grassland ecosystem (2017, background): “A recent study have suggested that such high microbial diversity is required to maintain robust N cycling processes in soil ecosystems due to a potentially limited functional redundancy of the soil microbial community (Philippot et al., 2013).”
