Microbial community and functional diversity associated with different aggregate fractions of a paddy soil fertilized with organic manure and/or NPK fertilizer for 20 years (2015, background): “…soil into five aggregate size fractions: large macroaggregates (>2 mm); macroaggregates (1–2 mm); small macroaggregates (0.25–1 mm); microaggregates (0.053–0.25 mm), and nonaggregated silt and clay particles (<0.053 mm) (Väisänen et al. 2005; Gartzia-Bengoetxea et al. 2009; Briar et al. 2011).”
Soil inoculation method determines the strength of plant–soil interactions (2012, background): “For example, because soil bacteria and fungi can be associated to larger soil aggregates (Six et al., 2004; Briar et al., 2011), which are filtered out by the 20 mm sieve.”
Soil nematode genera that predict specific types of disturbance (2013, result): “Of the studies that identified nematodes to genus, we found general agreement with our results for Cruznema and Mesorhabditus (Briar et al., 2011; Liang et al., 2009; Sanchez-Moreno et al., 2009; Zhang et al., 2012) and Mesodorylaimus and Nygolaimus (Wang et al.”
