Biological soil crusts modulate nitrogen availability in semi-arid ecosystems: insights from a Mediterranean grassland (2010, background): “55.7±1.09 61.3±1.16 61.7±2.28 63.7±2.75 64.1±0.80 64.5±0.97 63.7±0.63 OC organic carbon, TN total nitrogen, ST Stipa tenacissima, RS Retama sphaerocarpa, BS Bare soil, LC low biological soil crust (BSC) cover, MC medium BSC cover, HC high BSC cover Soil samples correspond to the Autumn-2008 sampling”
Spatio-temporal patterns of enzyme activities after manure application reflect mechanisms of niche differentiation between plants and microorganisms (2017, background): “…manure application, tough competition for inorganic and organic nutrients between microbes and roots was initiated as soon as manure-derived microbes and labile substrates were introduced by mixing manure into the soil (Kuzyakov and Blagodatskaya, 2015; Malik et al., 2013; Xu et al., 2006, 2011).”
Spatio‐temporal variations determine plant–microbe competition for inorganic nitrogen in an alpine meadow (2011, background): “Although one of our previous studies showed that organic N may be a significant N source for alpine plants (Xu et al. 2006), inorganic N contributed more than 80% to plant We here performed a short-term 15N tracer experiment to investigate the temporal and spatial competition for NH4 + and NO3 ).”
