Stoichiometry constrains microbial response to root exudation- insights from a model and a field experiment in a temperate forest (2012, background): “Fontaine et al. (2011) found that priming of SOM decomposition was strong when cellulose was added to soils of low to moderately high ambient N availability (grassland soil with a C : N ratio of 9.5), but not at high N availability (i.e., following N fertilizer application).”
Rapid transfer of photosynthetic carbon through the plant-soil system in differently managed species-rich grasslands (2011, positive): “…N from recalcitrant soil organic matter (SOM), such synchronisation of plant and soil microbial activities will likely promote the retention of nutrients in the system, as demonstrated by the low amount of N leached from extensively managed grasslands (Di and Cameron, 2002; Fontaine et al., 2011).”
Plant clipping decelerates the mineralization of recalcitrant soil organic matter under multiple grassland species (2012, background): “fungi could reduce their mining of nutrients in SOM and hence the RPE, when availability of mineral N is high (Fontaine et al., 2011).”
Root exudates increase N availability by stimulating microbial turnover of fast-cycling N pools (2017, neutral): “…expected that the stimulation of SOM decomposition by root exudates is lower in soil with higher nutrient availability (nutrient mining theory; Fontaine et al., 2003, 2004, 2011; Blagodatskaya and Kuzyakov, 2008; Guenet et al., 2010; Paterson and Sim, 2013; Sullivan and Hart, 2013), but…”
Soil C and N availability determine the priming effect: microbial N mining and stoichiometric decomposition theories (2014, neutral): “, 2009) and by molecular fingerprinting techniques (Fontaine et al., 2011).”
Priming and microbial nutrient limitation in lowland tropical forest soils of contrasting fertility (2012, background): “Priming and nutrient limitation in tropical forests Our study provides further evidence that when soil microorganisms have sufficient energy, the availability of soluble soil nutrients regulates soil organic C mineralization by priming (Fontaine et al. 2011).”
Global effects of soil and climate on leaf photosynthetic traits and rates (2015, background): “…ability of soils to release plant-available forms of nutrients from litter and soil organic matter (SOM), the decomposition of which is supposed to be mainly a function of the initial SOM and temperature (Hakkenberg et al., 2008), as well as which microorganisms are present (Fontaine et al., 2011).”
Microbial interactions affect sources of priming induced by cellulose (2014, methodology): “Uniformly labeled 14Ccellulose, BIOTREND Chemicals, Köln, Germany was added to the unlabeled microcrystalline cellulose and thoroughly mixed in ball mill before being added to the soil at rate of 400 mg C g 1 soil (specific 14C activity 17 kBq mg 1) which corresponded to the rate of cellulose amendm”
Rhizosphere priming effects on soil carbon and nitrogen mineralization (2014, background): “A potential mechanism is related to microbial N mining (Kuzyakov, 2002; Cheng and Kuzyakov, 2005; Craine et al., 2007; Fontaine et al., 2011; Dijkstra et al., 2013).”
Contribution of exudates, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and litter depositions to the rhizosphere priming effect induced by grassland species (2015, methodology): “These saprophytic fungi are considered the actors of the PE induced by plant litter (Fontaine et al., 2011; Shahzad, 2012; Shahzad et al., 2012).”
The roles of microorganisms in litter decomposition and soil formation (2014, background): “In addition, the transformations and fates of microbial biomass and necromass affect soil formation, stabilization, and fertility (Six et al. 2006; Fontaine et al. 2011; Miltner et al. 2011).”
