Structural and functional diversity of soil bacterial and fungal communities following woody plant encroachment in the southern Great Plains. (2010, background): “Succession-associated changes in community structure are often attributed to the increased quantities and complexity of organic matter that accrue in the soil as succession proceeds (Bardgett et al., 2005).”
Soil fauna and soil functions: a jigsaw puzzle (2014, background): “Although competition does not appear to have a strong influence on below-ground communities (Wardle, 2002; Bardgett et al., 2005; Decaëns, 2010), one may assume that biomes/ecosystems are dynamic systems in which different functional assemblages compete for resources leading to competitive ranks,…”
Soil microbial communities resistant to changes in plant functional group composition (2011, background): “Roots also physically alter the soil structure creating varying microhabitats suitable for different microbes (Bardgett et al., 2005a,b).”
Linear and non-linear impacts of a non-native plant invasion on soil microbial community structure and function (2011, methodology): “Numerous studies (e.g., Ohtonen et al. 1999; Bardgett et al. 2005; Boyle et al. 2008) have used this ratio because it can indicate changes in the biotic (Grayston and Prescott 2005; Mutabaruka et al. 2007; Habekost et al. 2008) and abiotic conditions type (Balser and Firestone 2005; Bradley et al.…”
Soil biodiversity and carbon cycling: a review and synthesis of studies examining diversity–function relationships (2011, background): “Although the role of competition in soil biotic communities is thought to be relatively weak (Bardgett et al., 2005; Setälä et al., 2005; Wardle, 2006; Cole et al., 2008), increased species richness is likely to increase inter-specific competition, and in some cases this may outweigh any positive…”
From peds to paradoxes: linkages between soil biota and their influences on ecological processes. (2008, background): “Several studies summarized by Bardgett et al. (2005) have shown little support for optimization of local soil animal diversity at intermediate levels of disturbance.”
