Soil extracellular enzyme activities correspond with abiotic factors more than fungal community composition (2013, background): “If EEA in our systems is locally adapted to soil pH (Fernandez-Calvino et al. 2011; Turner 2010), conducting our assays in an acidic environment could have created the negative correlations between EEA and soil pH, which we observed for BG, NAG and AP.”
Bacterial communities in soil mimic patterns of vegetative succession and ecosystem climax but are resilient to change between seasons (2013, background): “, 2007), but recently it has also been shown that specific soil bacteria have a narrowgrowth tolerance to pH thatmay impact their survival in soils (Fernández-Calviño et al., 2011).”
