Microbial enzymatic responses to drought and to nitrogen addition in a southern California grassland (2013, background): “A decrease in soil enzyme activity with drought was found in both desert and forest ecosystems (Li and Sarah, 2003; Sardans and Peñuelas, 2005; Sardans and Penuelas, 2010; Steinweg et al., 2012), while no significant response was found at a Chihuahuan desert site despite changes in bacterial and…”
Response of plant species richness and primary productivity in shrublands along a north–south gradient in Europe to seven years of experimental warming and drought: reductions in primary productivity in the heat and drought year of 2003 (2007, background): “…or a negative plant response to increasing temperature are the concomitant increases in evapotranspiration and decline in soil moisture often associated with warming, and the decreased availability of nutrient resources such as N and P (Rustad et al., 2000; Sardans & Peñuelas, 2004, 2005).”
Soil microbiological properties and enzymatic activities of long-term post-fire recovery in dry and semiarid Aleppo pine (Pinus halepensis M.) forest stands (2014, background): “…authors have demonstrated that scarce soil moisture generate lower soil respiration rates, microbial biomass carbon values and dehydrogenase, phosphatase and β-glucosidase enzymatic activities (Criquet et al., 2004; Sardans and Peñuelas, 2005; Baldrian et al., 2010; Lucas-Borja et al., 2012).”
Drought changes phosphorus and potassium accumulation patterns in an evergreen Mediterranean forest (2007, background): “A decrease in soil moisture may have a negative effect on soil microbial activity (Sardans & Peñuelas 2005) and as sclerophylly usually increases when the environment evolves towards drier conditions (Sabaté, Calvet & Gracia 1992; Oliveira et al .”
Drought Stress and Root-Associated Bacterial Communities (2018, background): “For example, an experimental 10% reduction in soil moisture significantly decreased the rates of nutrient cycling enzymes, an effect that was enhanced by increasing the reduction to 21% (Sardans and Peñuelas, 2005).”
Drought and warming induced changes in P and K concentration and accumulation in plant biomass and soil in a Mediterranean shrubland (2008, background): “These consequences of drought, the reduction of soil phosphatase activity and P mineralization, have also been observed in a Mediterranean forest located at 60 km from this experimental site by Sardans and Peñuelas (2004, 2005).”
Effects of long-term experimental night-time warming and drought on photosynthesis, Fv/Fm and stomatal conductance in the dominant species of a Mediterranean shrubland (2009, background): “Lower photosynthetic activity and reduced nutrient availability due to reduced soil microbial activity (Sardans and Peñuelas 2005) and reduced nutrient uptake by roots (Chapin 1980) under low water availability end up reducing growth.”
