Does herbivory really suppress mycorrhiza? A meta‐analysis (2010, background): “Much of the nitrogen absorbed by plants during compensatory regrowth is available due to physiological responses of the plant, and not due to urine and dung inputs from the grazing animals (Mikola et al. 2009).”
Vertebrate herbivore-induced changes in plants and soils: linkages to ecosystem functioning in a semi-arid steppe (2013, background): “However, the underpinning mechanisms of grazing-induced effects on soil nematodes via plants, soil nutrients, soil environment or their interactions are still difficult to interpret (Mikola et al. 2009; Veen et al. 2010).”
