• Secondary metabolites of Pinus halepensis alter decomposer organisms and litter decomposition during afforestation of abandoned agricultural zones (2014, background): “As described in Hieber & Gessner (2002), the overall biological decomposition of litter was assumed to be a function of detritivorous invertebrate feeding and microbial assimilation of litter constituents.”
• Stream microbial ecology (2010, background): “Fungi dominate pooled microbial biomass on leaves and wood (e.g., Hieber and Gessner 2002), whereas bacteria dominate sediments and fine particles.”
• Leaf Quality of Some Tropical and Temperate Tree Species as Food Resource for Stream Shredders (2010, background): “, 2006), and shredding invertebrates (HIEBER and GESSNER, 2002; CANHOTO and GRAÇA, 2006).”
• Who is who in litter decomposition? Metaproteomics reveals major microbial players and their biogeochemical functions (2012, background): “Our data showing higher F/B ratios at nutrient and especially P poor sites (Supplementary Figure 3) are in good agreement with several earlier studies (Hieber and Gessner, 2002; van der Wal et al., 2006; Güsewell and Gessner, 2009).”
• Microbial dynamics associated with leaves decomposing in the mainstem and floodplain pond of a large river (2002, background): “…observed in this study is consistent with results from investigations in other litter decomposition systems in freshwater (Findlay & Arsuffi 1989, Baldy et al. 1995, Newell et al. 1995, Suberkropp & Weyers 1996, Baldy & Gessner 1997, Komínková et al. 2000, Kuehn et al. 2000, Hieber & Gessner 2002).”
• Intraspecific variability in leaf traits strongly affects alder leaf decomposition in a stream (2008, background): “Alder supplies stream food webs with large amounts of deciduous leaves, a high quality substrate to microbial decomposers and detritivore invertebrates (Hieber & Gessner, 2002; Lecerf, Dobson, Dang, & Chauvet, 2005).”
• Revisiting the hypothesis that fungal-to-bacterial dominance characterizes turnover of soil organic matter and nutrients (2015, background): “The plant influence is provided both from aboveground sources such as litter input (Hieber and Gessner 2002, Romani et al. 2006, Sayer et al. 2011, Rousk et al. 2013), and from belowground sources, such as root exudates and deposition (Farrar et al. 2003).”
• Delayed insect access alters carrion decomposition and necrophagous insect community assembly (2014, background): “For example, microbial and insect communities have been shown to facilitate nutrient cycling and decomposition rates in leaf litter systems (Hieber and Gessner 2002, Srivastava et al. 2009).”
• Breakdown of leaf litter in a neotropical stream (2002, methodology): “Assuming a relatively high consumption rate of 1.0/d (e.g., Hieber and Gessner 2002) and applying it to the peak shredder biomass, i.e., 2.6 and 3.0 mg/g leaf mass for Clidemia at 43 d and Croton at 29 d, respectively, the contribution of shredder feeding activity would be 0.26 to 0.30% of leaf…”
