Linkages between plant functional composition, fine root processes and potential soil N mineralization rates (2009, background): “More importantly previous studies at Cedar Creek that addressed the composition of the below-ground microbial community through phospholipid fatty acid analyses (i.e. PLFA; see Zak et al. 2003; Chung et al. 2007) showed that a biomarker (i.”
Evolutionary-Economic Principles as Regulators of Soil Enzyme Production and Ecosystem Function (2010, background): “N fertilization also increases soil phosphatase activity in grasslands (Ajwa et al. 1999; Phoenix et al. 2004; Henry et al. 2005; Chung et al. 2007 ), heathlands (Johnson et al. 1998), tropical forests (Olander and Vitousek 2000), and deciduous forests (Saiya-Cork et al. 2002).”
Rapid transfer of photosynthetic carbon through the plant-soil system in differently managed species-rich grasslands (2011, background): “It is notable that the13C signature in the PLFA 18:1ω9, which is often used as fungal PLFA (Treonis et al., 2004; Chung et al., 2007; Denef et al., 2009), showed a pattern more alike that found in bacteria than in the other PLFA indicative for saprophytic fungi.”
Nitrogen addition stimulates forest litter decomposition and disrupts species interactions in Patagonia, Argentina (2011, background): “…but studies aimed at the effects of plant species diversity and N addition have also shown synergistic effects on soil respiration (Madritch & Hunter, 2003), microbial composition and enzyme production (Chung et al., 2007), but with weak effects on litter decomposition (Knops et al., 2007).”
Effects of plant species richness and evenness on soil microbial community diversity and function (2010, background): “The influences of plant community species richness and composition on soil microbial community structure and soil processes such as litter decomposition are well documented (e.g. Bardgett 2005; Berg and Smalla 2009; Chung et al. 2007; Eisenhauer et al. 2010; Fornara et al. 2009; Milcu et al. 2006).”
Nitrogen inputs accelerate phosphorus cycling rates across a wide variety of terrestrial ecosystems. (2012, unknown): “…activity across sites with increasing N availability or increasing N deposition (Turner et al., 2002; Bragazza et al., 2006; Gress et al., 2007; Chung et al., 2007), even in sites that are limited by P, or N and P together (Olander & Vitousek, 2000; Treseder & Vitousek, 2001; Hedin et al.,…”
Community shifts and carbon translocation within metabolically-active rhizosphere microorganisms in grasslands under elevated CO 2 (2007, background): “…5 :0 i1 5 :0 1 6 :1 ω7c cy 1 7 :0 cy 1 9 :0 i1 7 :0 a1 7 :0 univ. gram-positive gram-negative actino fungi AMF ** * * 1 8 :1 ω7c of non-arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (Phillips et al., 2002; Rønn et al., 2002; Fierer et al., 2003; Treonis et al., 2004; Chung et al., 2007; Drissner et al., 2007).”
Plant diversity improves protection against soil‐borne pathogens by fostering antagonistic bacterial communities (2012, background): “Therefore, varying composition of root exudates occurring in diverse plant communities may alter the abundance, composition and activity of soil microorganisms (Garbeva, van Veen& van Elsas 2004; Chung et al. 2007; Liu et al. 2008).”
Elevated atmospheric CO2 increases microbial growth rates in soil: results of three CO2 enrichment experiments (2010, result): “Similar to our observations, Chung et al. (2007) reported that the response of microbial communities to elevated CO2 was counterbalanced by N deposition in a study on the effect of plant species diversity on microbial biomass and fungal abundance in a BioCON-FACE experiment in east-central…”
The effects of substrate composition, quantity, and diversity on microbial activity (2010, background): “While these studies have demonstrated the importance of plant community composition in influencing enzyme activity (Kourtev et al. 2002; Chung et al. 2007), field studies are unable to distinguish the effects of changes in substrate composition from other coincident changes in inputs (e.g., the…”
Responses of enzymatic activities within soil aggregates to 9-year nitrogen and water addition in a semi-arid grassland (2015, background): “As NAG activity is thought to be mainly driven by the activity of the fungal community (Miller et al., 1998; Chung et al., 2007), we interpret the increasing trend of NAG with aggregate size as a preference of habitat by fungi in this system rather than a response to N availability (Dorodnikov et…”
Resistance, resilience, and redundancy in microbial communities (2008, unknown): “Estimates of soil microbial diversity range from thousands to a million microbial ‘‘species’’ in a few grams of soil ( 4 , 5), and how this diversity is related to ecosystem processes is generally unknown (6–8).”
The Ecology of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (2013, background): “Chung et al. (2007) reported increased CO2 effects upon soil microbial and fungal biomass over a grass species diversity gradient (1, 4, 9 and 16).”
