• Grazing triggers soil carbon loss by altering plant roots and their control on soil microbial community (2009, background): “As grazing affects root biomass and activity (Holland & Detling 1990; Guitan & Bardgett 2000; Hamilton & Frank 2001) changes in soil communities and litter decomposition may be provoked by a change in living roots rather than litter quality.”
• LARGE HERBIVORES SUPPRESS DECOMPOSER ABUNDANCE IN A SEMIARID GRAZING ECOSYSTEM (2004, background): “First, in the short term, grazers can enhance the amount of labile C entering soils by stimulating root exudation in plants (Holland et al. 1996, Guitian and Bardgett 2000, Hamilton and Frank 2001).”
• Importance of rhizodeposition in the coupling of plant and microbial productivity (2003, background): “Consequently, it is proposed that the exudative response of grasses to defoliation is an evolved strategy to stimulate the cycling of N in soil and promote sward regrowth (Guitian & Bardgett, 2000; Paterson & Sim, 2000; Hamilton & Frank, 2001).”
• Herbivore-mediated linkages between aboveground and belowground communities (2003, background): “Pot experiments consistently show that repeated defoliation reduces root biomass (e.g., Guitian and Bardgett 2000, Mikola et al. 2001a), and field studies have shown that moose and hare browsing reduces fine root productivity in Alaskan”
• The influence of below-ground herbivory and defoliation of a legume on nitrogen transfer to neighbouring plants. (2007, background): “1999; Mikola & Kytöviita 2002; Dilkes, Jones & Farrar 2004), which can stimulate microbial activity in the root zone (Mawdsley & Bardgett 1997; Guitian & Bardgett 2000) and increase soil nitrogen availability and its uptake by defoliated plants (Hamilton & Frank 2001; Ayres et al .”
• Trampling and Spatial Heterogeneity Explain Decomposer Abundances in a Sub-Arctic Grassland Subjected to Simulated Reindeer Grazing (2009, background): “These changes are further known to affect soil decomposer organisms, such as microbes ( Guitian and Bardgett 2000; Stark and Grellmann 2002) and their animal grazers (Hokka and others 2004; Bazot and others 2005; Mikola and others 2005).”
