• 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, background): “Additionally, aggregates provide a spatially heterogeneous habitat for microorganisms resulting from differences in environmental factors such as organic C content, predation pressure, and oxygen concentration among aggregate size classes (Young et al. 2008; Jiang et al. 2013).”
• Rhizosphere microbiome: revisiting the synergy of plant-microbe interactions (2019, background): “In spite of the vast microbial diversity in soil, microorganisms are congregated in small pockets which constitute only 1% of the total soil volume (Young et al. 2008).”
• Microbial hotspots and hot moments in soil: Concept & review (2015, background): “Functional redundancy and the excessive microbial pool principle2 (Morris, 2007; Young et al., 2008; Kuzyakov et al., 2009; Ruamps et al., 2013) lead to high similarities in the functions of hotspots differing in microbial community structure.”
