Next‐generation sequencing technologies for environmental DNA research (2012, background): “Several studies have analysed soil bacterial diversity by examining 16S rDNA amplicons (e.g. Roesch et al. 2007; Rousk et al. 2010; Nacke et al. 2011).”
The role of abiotic factors modulating the plant-microbe-soil interactions: toward sustainable agriculture. A review (2017, background): “Indeed, in several cases, the soil or rhizosphere microbiome is affected by two or more abiotic factors, thereby complicating the analysis of the specific effects of single factors (Liu et al., 2000; Drenovsky et al., 2004; Fierer & Jackson, 2006; Cleveland et al., 2007; Roesch et al., 2007; Beaureg”
Combined amendment of immobilizers and the plant growth-promoting strain Burkholderia phytofirmans PsJN favours plant growth and reduces heavy metal uptake (2015, background): “These changes are likely to be responsible for the observed community changes (Rousk et al., 2010; Chen et al., 2013), which together with an increased diversity pinpoint to a stress alleviating effect.”
Soil pH drives the spatial distribution of bacterial communities along elevation on Changbai Mountain (2013, background): “However, the relative abundance of Alphaproteobacteria was shown to decrease toward higher pH here, which contrasts with other studies (Chu et al., 2010; Rousk et al., 2010).”
Mineral vs. Organic Amendments: Microbial Community Structure, Activity and Abundance of Agriculturally Relevant Microbes Are Driven by Long-Term Fertilization Strategies (2016, background): “A number of mechanisms may account for the association between pH and microbial community composition, as soil pH may select some microbial taxa over others (Rousk et al., 2010), besides affecting nutrient availability (Kemmitt et al., 2006).”
Global diversity and geography of soil fungi (2014, background): “Nonetheless, the significant globalscale pH effect in several groups of fungi is consistent with the substantial influence of pH on the phylogenetic structure of soil fungal and bacterial communities in both local and continental scales (27, 45).”
Variation in forest soil fungal diversity along a latitudinal gradient (2013, background): “However, there is conflicting evidence for the role of pH in determining fungal diversity patterns: A study conducted by Rousk et al. (2010) found that pH had a weak effect on fungal diversity, whereas the work of Bååth and Anderson (2003) found a strong correlation between soil fungal and…”
High-level classification of the Fungi and a tool for evolutionary ecological analyses (2018, background): “Rousk et al. (2010) showed that soil pH has a strong effect on fungal and bacterial phylogenetic composition on a local scale.”
Plant diversity predicts beta but not alpha diversity of soil microbes across grasslands worldwide. (2015, result): “The importance of pH is consistent with previous work demonstrating it is a strong driver of soil bacterial community composition (e.g. Fierer & Jackson 2006; Rousk et al. 2010); our results indicate it is important for archaeal and fungal composition as well.”
Changes in extracellular enzyme activity and microbial community structure with soil depth at the Luquillo Critical Zone Observatory (2014, methodology): “The activities of six hydrolytic enzymes that are involved in C (aglucosidase, (AG); b-glucosidase, (BG); cellobiohydrolase, (CBH); bxylosidase (BX)), nitrogen (N-acetyl glucosaminidase, (NAG)) and P (acid phosphatase, (AP)) acquisition were measured according to the protocol of Saiya-Cork et al. (2”
Soil carbon content drives the biogeographical distribution of fungal communities in the black soil zone of northeast China (2015, background): “The incongruent findings between this study and others (Rousk et al., 2010; Peay et al., 2013; Shi et al., 2014) might be explained by the differences among the examined soils.”
Bacterial-Fungal Interactions: Hyphens between Agricultural, Clinical, Environmental, and Food Microbiologists (2011, background): “recently demonstrated contrasting influences of soil pH on the bacterial and fungal communities (329).”
