Erratum to The chemical and functional characterization of soil N and its biotic components (2009, background): “Interpretation of the patterns, determination of soil biodiversity (Bardgett et al., 2005) and the role of scale and soil particle size on soil processes (Lavelle et al., 2004; Standing et al., 2007) are being examined in an increasing number of ecosystems (Sessitch et al., 2001; Schimel et al.,…”
Soil health in agricultural systems (2008, background): “factor on microbial activity in soils, this is not necessarily the case, and there is accumulating evidence that soil microbes may frequently be N limited (Schimel et al. 2005).”
Linear and non-linear impacts of a non-native plant invasion on soil microbial community structure and function (2011, methodology): “Numerous studies (e.g., Ohtonen et al. 1999; Bardgett et al. 2005; Boyle et al. 2008) have used this ratio because it can indicate changes in the biotic (Grayston and Prescott 2005; Mutabaruka et al. 2007; Habekost et al. 2008) and abiotic conditions type (Balser and Firestone 2005; Bradley et al.…”
Structural and functional diversity of soil bacterial and fungal communities following woody plant encroachment in the southern Great Plains. (2010, background): “Succession-associated changes in community structure are often attributed to the increased quantities and complexity of organic matter that accrue in the soil as succession proceeds (Bardgett et al., 2005).”
