Consistent effects of nitrogen amendments on soil microbial communities and processes across biomes (2012, background): “…effects of N amendments on the soil bacterial community composition, but did not examine effects on the fungal communities, even though such effects may be important, particularly with regard to the process responses examined here (Allison et al. , 2008; Edwards et al. , 2011; Fontaine, 2011).”
Global drivers and patterns of microbial abundance in soil (2013, background): “…et al., 2012) or a reduction in the allocation of belowground labile carbon with increasing soil nitrogen contents (Dijkstra et al., 2005; Allison et al., 2008; Eisenhauer et al., 2012), which may subsequently increase the carbon demand of microbial biomass and induce shifts in community…”
Evolutionary-Economic Principles as Regulators of Soil Enzyme Production and Ecosystem Function (2010, background): “N fertilizer suppression of protein- and chitindegrading enzymes has been observed across a range of ecosystems (Olander and Vitousek 2000; Allison et al. 2008), suggesting that depolymerization of organic N may decline despite increases in N mineralization and the cycling of available”
Differential Growth Responses of Soil Bacterial Taxa to Carbon Substrates of Varying Chemical Recalcitrance (2011, background): “Recently, BrdU incorporation has been shown to detect a broad diversity of bacterial phyla in marine systems (Edlund et al., 2008) and fungal taxa in temperate (Hanson et al., 2008) and boreal forest soils (Allison et al., 2008).”
Soil aggregate size-dependent relationships between microbial functional diversity and multifunctionality (2021, methodology): “, 2002; Deforest, 2009); peroxidase and phenol oxidase activities were detected spectrophotometrically using pyrogallol as a substrate (Allison et al., 2008); phosphatase, invertase, urease and arylsulphatase activity were measured using the method described by Luo et al.”
Integrating microbial ecology into ecosystem models: challenges and priorities (2012, background): “Microbial enzyme model, Allison et al. (2010) Yes Qualitatively similar to empirical results Not determined”
Low levels of nitrogen addition stimulate decomposition by boreal forest fungi (2009, methodology): “In a recent study, we found that N addition had no effect on soil respiration over a 3-year period (Allison et al., 2008).”
Optimization of hydrolytic and oxidative enzyme methods for ecosystem studies (2011, methodology): “Moreover, the oxidation reaction with L-DOPA has a pH optimum near 9 (Pind et al., 1994), perhaps affecting its feasibility for use in oxidase assays of acidic soils and litter, such as those of the boreal forest (Allison et al., 2008).”
Independent roles of ectomycorrhizal and saprotrophic communities in soil organic matter decomposition (2013, methodology): “…technologies coupled with recent developments in high-throughput microplate procedures for assaying extracellular enzyme production in soils (Allison et al., 2008; German et al., 2011) and on root tips (Pritsch et al., 2011) nowmake it possible to address this issue by exploring…”
Phenol oxidase, peroxidase and organic matter dynamics of soil (2010, background): “Within the soil profile, activity generally declines with soil depth (Luis et al., 2005), and the highest mass-specific activities are generally associated with the silt-clay fraction (Grandy et al., 2008; Matocha et al., 2004; Henry et al., 2005; Allison and Jastrow, 2006).”
