Root Exudates of Legume Plants and Their Involvement in Interactions with Soil Microbes (2012, methodology): “Both culture-dependent and cultureindependent methods were employed to analyze the microbial communities and unique communities were found depending on the plant species, cultivars, and ecotypes (Priha et al. 1999; Yang and Crowley 2000; Narasimhan et al. 2003; Innes et al. 2004; Mazzola et al. 2004”
The invasive plant species Centaurea maculosa alters arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal communities in the field (2006, unknown): “Additionally, Batten et al. (2006) used PLFA analysis to demonstrate that the presence of Centaurea solstitialis (a close relative of C. maculosa) significantly reduces biomarkers for AMF in invaded sites.”
Global diversity and distribution of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (2011, unknown): “For example, previous ﬁ eld studies indicate that AM fungal communities are altered by non-native annual grasses in California, with up to an 80% shift in composition between non-native and native plants (Batten et al., 2006, 2008; Hawkes et al., 2006).”
Exotic invasive plants increase productivity, abundance of ammonia‐oxidizing bacteria and nitrogen availability in intermountain grasslands (2016, background): “The mechanics of these shifts remain unclear, and evidence for such shifts in microbial community composition associated with invasion is few (but see Batten et al. 2006; Broz, Manter & Vivanco 2007), more work is needed in this area.”
Support for major hypotheses in invasion biology is uneven and declining (2012, background): “Soil microbial communities have been observed to change progressively as invasion advances from year to year (Wolfe and Klironomos 2005, Batten et al. 2006), and it has been suggested that invaders benefit disproportionately from symbiotic mutualists, particularly in disturbed sites (Reinhart and…”
Root Exudates Regulate Soil Fungal Community Composition and Diversity (2007, background): “A similar effect has been observed under field conditions with invasive plant species (2, 29).”
Nature and role of root exudates: Efficacy in bioremediation (2013, background): “Consequently, it is not astonishing that rhizosphere microbial communities differ between plant species (Batten et al., 2006; Innes et al., 2004), between genotypes within species (Kowalchuk et al., 2006) and between different developmental stages of a given plant (Mougel et al., 2006; Wei-Hong et…”
