Citations in the corpus
- Microbial macroecology: highly structured prokaryotic soil assemblages in a tropical deciduous forest (2005, result): “This result is consistent with the suggestion that microbial communities reflect adaptation to local environmental heterogeneity and are assemblages of generalist and specialist taxa (Balser et al., 2002).”
- Bridging the gap between micro - and macro-scale perspectives on the role of microbial communities in global change ecology (2006, background): “A shift in microbial community structure to populations having different temperature optima for growth could result in an acclimation of respiration, or net zero effect (Balser 2000; Balser et al. 2002; Ellert and Bettany 1992).”
- Manipulating the soil microbiome to increase soil health and plant fertility (2012, background): “In support of this possibility, decomposition rates have been shown to be promoted through increased microbial functional diversity (Balser et al. 2002; Bonkowski and Roy 2005).”
- Investigating biological control over soil carbon temperature sensitivity (2009, methodology): “This soil alone was also part of a larger study (see Balser, 2000), and for that reason our sample size was slightly different for the temperate site.”
- EFFECTS OF BIODIVERSITY ON ECOSYSTEM FUNCTIONING: A CONSENSUS OF CURRENT KNOWLEDGE (2005, background): “Less is known about how the diversity of soil organisms affects rates of decomposition and nutrient cycling (Balser et al. 2002, Mikola et al. 2002).”
- Linking soil process and microbial ecology in freshwater wetland ecosystems (2006, background): “These and other recent studies have been seminal in demonstrating that the typical ecosystem ecology approach of ‘black-boxing’ the microbial community can lead to erroneous inference about process control (Balser et al. 2001; Schimel 2004; Balser and Firestone 2005).”
