Factors affecting soil microbial community structure in tomato cropping systems (2010, background): “Also, in the current study the proportion of Gram-positive bacteria increased with the high soil temperatures occurring under black polyethylene, which may be attributed to the more rapid exhaustion of readily available carbon at higher temperatures (Feng and Simpson, 2009; Frey et al., 2008).”
Microbial hotspots and hot moments in soil: Concept & review (2015, background): “This is confirmed by a 3.5e26 fold decrease in the PLFA content in the rhizosphere and detritusphere at the end of hot moments (Feng and Simpson, 2009; Schutz et al., 2009, Table 3).”
Thermal acclimation of organic matter decomposition in an artificial forest soil is related to shifts in microbial community structure (2014, background): “…bacteria appear to have a competitive advantage over both fungi and Gram-negative bacteria in rapidly changing environments (Biasi et al., 2005; Schimel et al., 2007; Feng and Simpson, 2009), consequently bringing about the observed shifts in different microbial groups with temperature changes.”
