Root exudates increase N availability by stimulating microbial turnover of fast-cycling N pools (2017, neutral): “Previous studies that have used yeast extract (Fierer et al., 2003) or compared glucose and yeast addition (Blagodatskaya et al., 2009) suggest that yeast is often a better substrate for maximizing growth rate (relative to glucose) given that the extract provides a richer medium for microbes and…”
Plant traits and wood fates across the globe: rotted, burned, or consumed? (2009, neutral): “This is in part due to high suberin, tannin, and lignin content in the outer bark (Preston et al., 2006a; Jackson et al., 2007) and in part because both microbial biomass (Fierer et al., 2003) and the oxygen to support high fire temperature decline with soil depth.”
Thermal adaptation of soil microbial respiration to elevated temperature. (2008, methodology): “estimated using a modified (Fierer et al. 2003) substrateinduced respiration (SIR) technique and modified chloroform-fumigation extraction (CFE, Fierer & Schimel 2003).”
Laccases: toward disentangling their diversity and functions in relation to soil organic matter cycling (2010, background): “Depth gradients in enzyme activity are related to changes in biomass, abundance, composition, and distribution of the microbial (fungal) community (Fierer et al. 2003; Lindahl et al. 2007; O’Brien et al. 2005; Šnajdr et al. 2008).”
Flooding effects on soil microbial communities (2009, methodology): “The same increase in depth resulted in a 12–13% decrease in TOC and a 9–10% decrease in TN. Carbon inputs are thought to decrease not just in availability, but also in quality with depth (Fierer et al., 2003).”
Global drivers and patterns of microbial abundance in soil (2013, methodology): “Fierer et al. (2009) presented results suggesting that the variability in CMic across major biomes is strongly correlated to soil organic carbon (SOC) content and plant productivity.”
Temporal dynamics of microbial communities on decomposing leaf litter of 10 plant species in relation to decomposition rate (2012, background): “Among the bacteria, Gram-negative bacteria tend to dominate in soils with higher availability of organicmatter (Fierer et al., 2003; Griffiths et al., 1999; Potthoff et al., 2006) and nitrogen availability * Corresponding author.”
Microbial community PLFA and PHB responses to ecosystem restoration in tallgrass prairie soils (2005, methodology): “When we used a group of PLFAs (Fierer et al., 2003) as a Gram (K) marker (16:1u7c, 16:1u7t, 18:1u7c, 18:1u9c, cy17:0, cy19:0) rather than cy17:0 alone, however, there were no significant differences in the proportion of Gram (K) organisms between sites.”
Microbial Processes in the Vadose Zone (2005, background): “Drying–rewetting cycles in surface soils stress microbes Nitrogen mineralization in Horwath’s studies was(Fierer et al., 2003c), and this stress is manifested in zero order for all soils to 1 m, and the surface rate was ap-lower C and N mineralization rates as compared with proximately five times…”
Microbial community and functional diversity associated with different aggregate fractions of a paddy soil fertilized with organic manure and/or NPK fertilizer for 20 years (2015, methodology): “This ratio has previously been used as an indicator of nutritional stress in bacterial communities (Bossio and Scow 1998; Fierer et al. 2003).”
Changes in soil microbial community structure and metabolic activity following conversion from native Pinus massoniana plantations to exotic Eucalyptus plantations (2013, background): “These ratios are also positively correlated with soil nutrient stress conditions (Bossio and Scow, 1998; Fierer et al., 2003; McKinley et al., 2005; Moore-Kucera and Dick, 2008).”
Expanding the role of reactive transport models in critical zone processes (2017, background): “Microbes transform C (e.g., leaves, roots) in the presence of multiple electron AC C EP TE D M AN U SC R IP T acceptors including O2, nitrate, sulfate, as well as solid phases such as iron-containing and manganese-containing minerals (Dunn et al., 2006; Fierer et al., 2003; Philippot et al., 2009).”
