Functional diversity of the soil microflora in primary succession across two glacier forelands in the Central Alps (2003, background): “A few studies have focused on the microbial functional diversity in glacier forelands (Klingensmith et al., 1993; Schipper et al., 2001; Sigler & Zeyer, 2002), although hydrolytic enzymes control the rate at which substrates are degraded and become available for uptake by microbes and plants (Marx e”
A temporal approach to linking aboveground and belowground ecology. (2005, background): “Microbial communities also become increasingly diverse as succession proceeds, in terms of the variety of resources that they can utilize [ 35 ].”
Linking vegetation change, carbon sequestration and biodiversity: insights from island ecosystems in a long‐term natural experiment (2012, background): “Microbial community measures were determined from data for both microbial phospholipid fatty acids (PLFAs; different acids correspond to different subsets of the microbial community) and substrate utilization profiles [SUPs; functional community structure is assessed by the relative response of the ”
Microbial diversity and function in soil: from genes to ecosystems. (2002, background): “After a major disturbance (such as landslips, volcanic eruptions or retreat of glaciers), marked changes in functional diversity (catabolic evenness) in developing soil ecosystems have been demonstrated [34].”
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.”
