Forest microbiome: diversity, complexity and dynamics. (2016, background): “Litter-decomposing saprotrophic basidiomycetes that are physiologically related to white-rot wood-decomposing fungi often act as major litter decomposers together with ascomycetous microfungi (Osono 2007; Eichlerová et al. 2015).”
Decay rates of leaf litters from arbuscular mycorrhizal trees are more sensitive to soil effects than litters from ectomycorrhizal trees (2015, background): “In this hypothesis, the microbial ability to decompose high-quality substrates is thought to be ubiquitous whereas the ability to degrade low-quality substrates is limited to the environments where they are produced by plants (Osono 2007; Ayres et al. 2009; Freschet et al. 2011).”
How tree roots respond to drought (2015, background): “Lignin, a second important compound, is mainly only degraded by a speciﬁc group of microorganisms, white-rot fungi and actinobacteria, which are able to secrete ligninolytic enzymes (Osono, 2007; Baldrian, 2008; Floudas et al., 2012).”
Fungal community on decomposing leaf litter undergoes rapid successional changes (2012, background): “The abundance of fungi from the Ascomycota phylum decreases during the process of degradation as they are gradually replaced by fungi from the Basidiomycota phylum, especially the saprotrophic cord formers, during the later stages of decomposition (Frankland, 1998; Osono, 2007).”
Who is who in litter decomposition? Metaproteomics reveals major microbial players and their biogeochemical functions (2012, background): “Basidiomycota, with their ability to degrade the recalcitrant lignin-containing litter material, appear only later in the decomposition process (Osono, 2007; Lundell et al., 2010).”
The effect of resource history on the functioning of soil microbial communities is maintained across time (2011, background): “There is no evidence that epiphytic microbes affect functional similarity or dissimilarity of soil microbial communities (Osono, 2007; Osono and Hirose, 2011); however, there is a need for further research exploring the interaction between epiphytic and soil microbial communities.”
Laccases: toward disentangling their diversity and functions in relation to soil organic matter cycling (2010, background): “…input of fresh litter (early colonization by ascomycetes followed by saprotrophic and mycorrhizal fungi), which is consistent with studies on microbial succession during plant litter degradation (Aneja et al. 2006; Fontaine et al. 2003; Koide et al. 2005; Kubartová et al. 2008; Osono 2007).”
Production of extracellular enzymes and degradation of biopolymers by saprotrophic microfungi from the upper layers of forest soil (2010, background): “Although saprotrophic basidiomycetes are capable to decompose litter more rapidly than nonbasidiomycetous fungi ( Osono 2007; Osono and Takeda 2006), litter decomposing in situ differs significantly from the litter decomposed by basidiomycetes only (Valaskova et al. 2007).”
Stable isotopes revisited: Their use and limits for oribatid mite trophic ecology (2011, background): “Temporal constancy also is surprising, as litter materials enter the decomposer system in a pulsed way e particularly in temperate forest ecosystems e and are colonized and broken down by a succession of different fungal species (Hudson,1968; Hayes, 1979; Osono, 2007).”
