• Viruses in soil: Nano-scale undead drivers of microbial life, biogeochemical turnover and ecosystem functions (2018, background): “(2) The very low proportion of active microbial cells in soil (Blagodatskaya and Kuzyakov, 2013; Lennon and Jones, 2011) and absence of the switch from lysogenic to lytic cycle in dormant cells means only the small active part has high C and energy costs.”
• Direct and indirect effects of climate change on soil microbial and soil microbial‐plant interactions: What lies ahead? (2015, background): “Microbes can be active, potentially active, and dormant at any point in time and these states can shape the responsiveness of the ecosystem to perturbations (Blagodatskaya and Kuzyakov 2013).”
• Microbial indicators for soil quality (2017, background): “Finally, the soil microbiome is very dynamic in time and space, which has resulted in the concept of “hot spots,” next to “hot moments,” in soil (Blagodatskaya and Kuzyakov 2013).”
• Microbes as Engines of Ecosystem Function: When Does Community Structure Enhance Predictions of Ecosystem Processes? (2016, background): “…environmental conditions (Jones and Lennon, 2010; Lennon and Jones, 2011), and research suggests that the percent of soil microbial communities catalyzing chemical reactions in soils at a given point in time can vary widely with resource history and disturbances (Blagodatskaya and Kuzyakov, 2013).”
• Earthworm burrows: Kinetics and spatial distribution of enzymes of C-, N- and P- cycles (2016, background): “Thus, the Km increase likely indicated a shift in the functional structure of the microbial community toward the domination by fast-growing but less efficient populationswith lower substrate affinities (Fontaine and Barot, 2005; Blagodatskaya et al., 2009; Blagodatskaya and Kuzyakov, 2013).”
• Turnover of microbial groups and cell components in soil: 13 C analysis of cellular biomarkers (2017, background): “In contrast, the extracted cytosol pool includes C from both active and dormant microorganisms (Blagodatskaya and Kuzyakov, 2013), and the latter can dilute the 13C signal incorporated into the active pool with non-labelled C, yielding a lower turnover of this pool.”
• Microbial hotspots and hot moments in soil: Concept & review (2015, background): “, 2000), microorganisms in soil are mainly in a dormant state (Blagodatskaya and Kuzyakov, 2013).”
• Embracing the unknown: disentangling the complexities of the soil microbiome (2017, background): “…of bacterial and archaeal ribosomes, and that is commonly used for taxonomic and phylogenetic analyses of bacterial and archaeal communities. in soil are likely to be dormant, with >95% of the total microbial biomass pool represented by microorganisms that are inactive at a given point in time 17 .”
• Sugars in soil and sweets for microorganisms: Review of origin, content, composition and fate (2015, background): “For example, sugar concentration in soil solution stimulates the transition of microorganisms from dormant or potentially active to the active stages (Blagodatskaya and Kuzyakov, 2013).”
