• Temporal dynamics of microbial communities on decomposing leaf litter of 10 plant species in relation to decomposition rate (2012, background): “As ability to metabolize labile carbon is believed to be ubiquitous among microbes (McGuire and Treseder, 2010; Paterson et al., 2008; Poll et al., 2008), the lack of correlation between microbial community composition and decomposition rate may be due to the ability of all microbes present early…”
• Linear and non-linear impacts of a non-native plant invasion on soil microbial community structure and function (2011, background): “Labile substrates, for example, are preferentially metabolized by bacteria, while more recalcitrant substrates are metabolized by fungi (Romani et al. 2006; Moore-Kucera and Dick 2008; Paterson et al. 2008 ).”
• The Role of Microbial Communities in the Formation and Decomposition of Soil Organic Matter (2010, background): “…per se seems to be unaffected by decomposition, there are clear differences in decomposition patterns when the community shifts from fungal to bacterial dominated and vice versa depending on the age and complexity of the carbon compound (Wardle 2005; Six et al. 2006; Paterson et al. 2008a).”
• Microbial interactions affect sources of priming induced by cellulose (2014, unknown): “The increase in G(þ) PLFAs is in accordance with the 3-fold increase in G(þ) PLFA after 49 days of decomposition of the recalcitrant fraction of plant residues (Paterson et al., 2008).”
• Carbon flow in the rhizosphere: carbon trading at the soil–root interface (2009, background): “The isotopic tracking of individual root-derived compounds into soil, however, has only recently become routinely possible (Paterson et al. 2008).”
