Plant species influence microbial diversity and carbon allocation in the rhizosphere (2010, background): “In natural ecosystems such as grasslands, different levels of plant species diversity can influence composition and biomass of microbial communities (Wardle and Nicholson, 1996; Kowalchuk et al., 2002; Wardle et al., 2003).”
Root Exudation: The Ecological Driver of Hydrocarbon Rhizoremediation (2016, background): “As a result, the rhizosphere is up to 100 times richer in microorganism biomass but poorer in diversity than bulk soil [53–56]: this is called “the rhizosphere effect” [57–59].”
Unveiling below‐ground species abundance in a biodiversity experiment: a test of vertical niche differentiation among grassland species (2010, background): “odoratum in diverse communities would be that high plant diversities affect soil microbial communities (Kowalchuk et al. 2002; BarteltRyser et al. 2005), leading to suppression of (root) pathogens (i.”
Effects of plant species richness and evenness on soil microbial community diversity and function (2010, background): “…soil microbial diversity and activity in experimental plant communities are strong in some studies (Eisenhauer et al. 2010; Loranger-Merciris et al. 2006; Zak et al. 2003), while others have found more limited effects (Grüter et al. 2006; Kielak et al. 2008; Kowalchuk et al. 2002; Zul et al. 2007).”
Relationship between plant species diversity and soil microbial functional diversity along a longitudinal gradient in temperate grasslands of Hulunbeir, Inner Mongolia, China (2008, background): “A coupling of aboveground plant diversity and belowground microbial diversity has been implied in the studies dedicated to assessing the role of macrophyte diversity on the stability, resilience and functioning of ecosystems (Kowalchuk et al. 2002).”
Pasture management clearly affects soil microbial community structure and N-cycling bacteria (2009, result): “These results are supported by previous work (e.g. Kowalchuk et al., 2002; Smalla et al., 2001).”
Vineyard soil bacterial diversity and composition revealed by 16S rRNA genes: Differentiation by vineyard management (2016, background): “In turn, this affects the soil microbial environment, resulting in shifts in the soil microbial community (Angers and Caron, 1998; Berg and Smalla, 2009; Garbeva et al., 2004; Haichar et al., 2014; Kowalchuk et al., 2002; Shamoot et al., 1968; Starkey, 1929).”
Microbe-mediated plant-soil feedback causes historical contingency effects in plant community assembly (2007, background): “While specific plant properties can have a selective effect on the organisms they accumulate in their rhizosphere (Kowalchuk et al. 2002), the abundance and composition of the soil community can be considered as the regional species pool that strongly affects the local community structure in the…”
Microbial hotspots and hot moments in soil: Concept & review (2015, background): “Microbial diversity differs in the rhizosphere of plant species (Kowalchuk et al., 2002; Turner et al., 2013) or even along the roots (Schmidt and Eickhorst, 2014) and it changes during root development (Remenant et al., 2009; Schmidt and Eickhorst, 2014).”
Impact of elevated carbon dioxide on the rhizosphere communities of Carex arenaria and Festuca rubra (2007, methodology): “Approximately 0.5mg of PCR product was used for DGGE analysis, using the method of Muyzer et al. (1993) as modified by Kowalchuk et al. (2002), except that the linear gradients indicated were as in Table 2.”
