THE UPTAKE OF AMINO ACIDS BY MICROBES AND TREES IN THREE COLD‐TEMPERATE FORESTS (2005, background): “This analysis raises the hypothesis that amino acids contribute less to plant growth and forest productivity in the temperate zone than at higher latitudes (Schimel and Bennett 2004).”
Complementary nitrogen use among potentially dominant species in a biodiversity experiment varies between two years (2008, background): “The amount of plant available mineral nitrogen in soils depends on a number of processes that are known to be highly variable in space and time, including plant uptake, ammonification and nitrification, and microbial immobilization (Hartwig 1998; Schimel & Bennett 2004).”
Climate, soil and plant functional types as drivers of global fine‐root trait variation (2017, background): “Here, investments in high N fine-roots and therefore fine-root metabolism (e.g., Liu et al. 2010) could represent a more efficient strategy to compete with microbial communities during pulses of nutrient and water availability (Schimel & Bennett 2004; Liu et al. 2016).”
The mycorrhizal-associated nutrient economy: a new framework for predicting carbon-nutrient couplings in temperate forests. (2013, background): “Much of the N in forest soils is bound to SOM and this N must be depolymerized by microbial extracellular enzymes before it can be taken up by roots (Schimel & Bennett, 2004).”
Acquisition of phosphorus and nitrogen in the rhizosphere and plant growth promotion by microorganisms (2009, background): “The significance of soluble organic N for plant nutrition was first highlighted in solution culture studies and has since been demonstrated for soils in a range of different ecosystems (Jones and Darrah 1994a; Schimel and Bennett 2004).”
Progressive N limitation of plant response to elevated CO2: a microbiological perspective (2006, background): “%) exists in organic materials, but most plants cannot directly assimilate complex organic compounds and have to rely on microbes to transform organic N into mineral or simple organic forms (e.g., amino acids) (Chapin et al. 2002; Schimel and Bennett 2004).”
Searching for unifying principles in soil ecology (2009, background): “Predicting some fundamental processes may require characterizing this variability, but for many biogeochemical processes, soil heterogeneity should be a repeatable outcome of similar overall averages from heterogeneous microsites (e.g. Schimel and Bennett, 2004; Balser et al., 2006).”
Biological soil crusts modulate nitrogen availability in semi-arid ecosystems: insights from a Mediterranean grassland (2010, background): “Depolymerization rate is emerging as a key process in the nitrogen cycle (Schimel and Bennet 2004).”
Regulation of extracellular protease activity in soil in response to different sources and concentrations of nitrogen and carbon. (2008, background): “There is increasing evidence that plants are able to take up N not only in mineral form, but also in the form of simple organic molecules (Schimel and Bennett, 2004).”
