Microbial hotspots and hot moments in soil: Concept & review (2015, background): “- Detritusphere: input of mainly recalcitrant highly polymeric (Kogel-Knabner, 2002) (but also some labile, low molecular weight) organics as litter, mainly on themineral soil surface, and upon root death at various depths.”
Relative contributions of plant traits and soil microbial properties to mountain grassland ecosystem services (2013, background): “To complement this systemic view of plant economics, analyses would need to incorporate root traits (Craine et al. 2002; Klumpp et al. 2009; Orwin et al. 2010), even though it has been argued that their effects can be captured through leaf traits (Craine et al.”
Towards an assessment of multiple ecosystem processes and services via functional traits (2010, background): “…same trait configuration in plant communities that improves fodder production is likely to reduce soil carbon sequestration (Wardle et al. 2004; Dijkstra et al. 2006; Klumpp et al. 2009) and might impede services linked to aesthetic and cultural values (Hodgson et al. 2005; Quétier et al. 2007).”
Plant clipping decelerates the mineralization of recalcitrant soil organic matter under multiple grassland species (2012, background): “Previous work has shown that the proliferation of gram positive bacteria after clipping induces an acceleration of plant litter decomposition (Klumpp et al., 2009).”
Effects of grazing on grassland soil carbon: a global review (2013, background): “Greater decomposition released plant available nitrogen and further stimulated microbial decomposition and lowered SOC (Klumpp et al., 2009).”
