The role of abiotic factors modulating the plant-microbe-soil interactions: toward sustainable agriculture. A review (2017, methodology): “Carbon is also one of the main determinants of the structure and function of microbial communities in the soil (Degens et al., 2000; Drenovsky et al., 2004; Ahmed et al., 2008).”
Mycorrhizal response and successional status in 80 woody species from south Brazil (2003, background): “In soil, microbial decomposition and microfaunal grazing of the organic matter release nutrients which become available for plant uptake (Degens et al. 2000).”
Comparative metagenomic, phylogenetic and physiological analyses of soil microbial communities across nitrogen gradients (2011, background): “This may partly reflect phylogenetic or physiological responses of the microbial communities to differences in the amounts and/or types of organic C substrates available at each site across the N gradients (Degens et al., 2000; Frey et al., 2004).”
Nematodes as soil indicators: functional and biodiversity aspects (2003, background): “Values of Degens and Harris’ index are bounded by the number of substrates compared, and ranges of 16–22 (for 36 substrates; Degens 1998; Degens et al. 2000) and 11–23 (for 25 substrates; Schipper et al. 2001) have been found.”
Changes of soil enzyme activities under different tillage practices in the Chinese Loess Plateau (2009, result): “This finding contradicts earlier observations showing a strong dependence of enzyme activities on SOC (Degens et al., 2000; Kandeler et al., 2001).”
Manipulating the soil microbiome to increase soil health and plant fertility (2012, background): “2010), land use (Degens et al. 2000), and degrees of stress and disturbance (Degens et al.”
Soil organic C variability and microbial functions in a Mediterranean agro-forest ecosystem (2011, positive): “Degens et al. (2000) provided evidence that a generalised relationship exists between organic C pools and microbial functional diversity in soils.”
Influence of enhanced malate dehydrogenase expression by alfalfa on diversity of rhizobacteria and soil nutrient availability (2003, methodology): “Catabolic evenness was determined by calculating the Shannon–Weaver index (Degens, 1998; Degens et al., 2000; Magurran, 1988), and is said to be an indicator of a component of microbial diversity that can be applied across all soil types (Degens et al.”
