Translocation of nitrogen and carbon integrates biotic crust and grass production in desert grassland (2008, methodology): “Denitrification, measured by Crenshaw et al. (2008) at 30% and 70% soil WHC was equivalent to 200 and 500 μg N m–2 day–1, respectively (assuming bulk soil density of 1.6 g cm–3, crust depth of 1 cm, rhizosphere soil depth of 5 cm and cover estimates in Table 1).”
Diversity of free-living and lichenized fungal communities in biological soil crusts of the Sultanate of Oman and their role in improving soil properties (2013, background): “In aridland soils, fungi play a vital role in carbon and nitrogen cycling by their efficient ability to decompose carbon compounds, perform nitrification and denitrification and store nutrients intracellularly (Hawkes, 2003; Crenshaw et al., 2008; Hayatsu et al., 2008; Strauss et al., 2012).”
Nitrous oxide emissions from soils: how well do we understand the processes and their controls? (2013, background): “So, although there are reports on the importance of fungi for N2O formation in temperate, semiarid grasslands, woodland and tropical arable peat [68–70], new technologies are required to clarify the fundamental question—‘what really is the ecological role of fungi in denitrification?’ Within the dom”
