Microbial biomass, growth, and respiration associated with submerged litter of Phragmites australis decomposing in a littoral reed stand of a large lake (2000, background): “These findings agree with results flom studies on other decomposition systems (Baldy et al. 1995, Baldy & Gessner 1991, Kuehn et al. 2000), suggesting that fungal assimilation can account tor a large portion of the Acknowledgements.”
Microbial dynamics associated with leaves decomposing in the mainstem and floodplain pond of a large river (2002, methodology): “…of detrital C per day) are also intermediate between values reported from other aquatic environments (overall range of 0.24 to 16 mg C per g of detrital C per day (Newell et al. 1995, Suberkropp 1995, 1997, Weyers & Suberkropp 1996, Gessner & Chauvet 1997, Komínková et al. 2000, Kuehn et al. 2000).”
Fungi in lake ecosystems (2010, background): “When standing plant litter of J. effusus was submerged, microbial biomass and production declined, but fungal decomposers remained dominant (Kuehn et al. 2000).”
Microbial growth and nitrogen retention in litter of Phragmites australis compared to Typha angustifolia (2002, background): “For instance, Kuehn et al. (1999) reported 68 g ergosterol/g AFDM plant litter for Erianthus, while Juncus values were 238–254 (Kuehn et al. 2000, Newell 2001b, respectively.)”
