Biogeochemical cycles and biodiversity as key drivers of ecosystem services provided by soils (2015, background): “…processing, including biodiversity, association/separation of organic matter, and decomposing microbial communities in the mineral soil matrix (Bardgett et al., 2008); the role of soil fauna in controlling carbon storage and cycling, dynamics of dissolved organic carbon, and its role in…”
Responses of enzymatic activities within soil aggregates to 9-year nitrogen and water addition in a semi-arid grassland (2015, background): “However, the effects of environmental factors, such as elevated N inputs and precipitation on enzymatic stoichiometry are unclear.”
The bacterial biogeography of British soils. (2011, background): “Bacteria constitute a major portion of the biodiversity in soils (Gans et al., 2005; Roesch et al., 2007; Fulthorpe et al., 2008), and play an essential role in maintaining soil processes (Brussaard, 1997; Bardgett et al., 2008), which ultimately affect the functioning of terrestrial ecosystems.”
Rapid responses of soil microorganisms improve plant fitness in novel environments (2012, background): “, elevated atmospheric CO2 concentrations) have been shown to alter plant–soil feedbacks in ways that influence microbial communities (44).”
Hydration and diffusion processes shape microbial community organization and function in model soil aggregates (2015, background): “These natural processes are not only essential for the sustainability of agriculture and many other ecosystem services; they are also important for GHG emissions and global climate change [Bardgett et al., 2008; Singh et al., 2010].”
Microbial communities and their relevance for ecosystem models: Decomposition as a case study (2010, background): “However, many uncertainties remain regarding microbe-climate feedbacks (Bardgett et al., 2008; Pendall et al., 2008), as few experiments have examined the interactions ofmultiple climate drivers onmicrobial functional responses.”
Soil biodiversity and carbon cycling: a review and synthesis of studies examining diversity–function relationships (2011, background): “Of this soil respiration, heterotrophic soil biota accounts for around half, while the remainder is respired by plant roots and associated mycorrhizal fungi (Högberg et al., 2001; CisnerosDozal et al., 2006; Subke et al., 2006; Bardgett et al., 2008).”
The Ecology of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (2013, background): “There is also some indication increased soil microbial biomass and concomitant increase in respiration may itself contribute to climate change (Bardgett et al., 2008).”
Soil Microbial Community Responses to Multiple Experimental Climate Change Drivers (2009, background): “Feedbacks from ecosystem to the atmosphere may also be regulated by soil microbial communities (3).”
Life is Physics: Evolution as a Collective Phenomenon Far From Equilibrium (2010, background): “We discuss how condensed matter physics concepts might provide a useful perspective in evolutionary biology, the conceptual failings of the modern evolutionary synthesis, the open-ended growth of complexity, and the quintessentially self-referential nature of evolutionary dynamics.”
