Trends in soil microbial communities during secondary succession (2017, background): “Assuming that microbial acquisition and uptake rates of organic C are constant (following previous studies; Anderson, 2003; Anderson and Domsch, 2010; Manzoni et al., 2012; Xu et al., 2014, 2017), the lower R/Cmic in the late successional stages implies more C available for microbial biomass product”
Active microorganisms in soil: Critical review of estimation criteria and approaches (2013, background): “Assuming the PLFA content of 65 mmol g 1 microbial biomass (Bååth and Anderson, 2003), the PLFA compose in average 1.74% of total biomass.”
Biological Indices for Soil Quality Evaluation: Perspectives and Limitations (2016, background): “Values above 2 g C–CO2 h 1 kg MBC 1 are commonly supposed to indicate a critical threshold for the performance of microbial communities (Anderson, 2003).”
Biological soil quality indicators: a review (2010, background): “Concentration or population of earthworms, nematodes, termites, ants, as well as microbial biomass, fungi, actinomycetes, or lichens can be used as indicators, because of their role in soil development and conservation; nutrient cycling and specific soil fertility (14).”
Soil microbial indices as bioindicators of environmental changes in a poplar plantation (2005, background): “The low Cmic:Corg and the high qCO2 reflect a less efficient use of organic substrates by microbial biomass (Anderson, 2003; Pinzari et al., 1999).”
Soil organic C variability and microbial functions in a Mediterranean agro-forest ecosystem (2011, positive): “Anderson (2003) extrapolating this theory to microbial communities, hypothesised a decrease in microbial respiration by increasing the below-ground species diversity.”
