Effects of straw amendment and moisture on microbial communities in Chinese fluvo-aquic soil (2014, background): “…thrive under conditions where substrate availability is high, while oligotrophic (or K-selected) populations (e.g., Acidobacteria, Gemmatimonadetes, and Basidiomycota) are relatively more abundant under substrate-limited conditions (Fierer et al. 2007; Bastian et al. 2009; Pascault et al. 2013).”
Assessment of 10 years of CO2 fumigation on soil microbial communities and function in a sweetgum plantation (2009, background): “Acidobacteria tend to prefer oligotrophic soils (Fierer et al., 2007), and they do not seem to be out competed in soils of high [CO2] plots despite the increased flux of C.”
Climate change feedbacks to microbial decomposition in boreal soils (2011, background): “Fierer et al. (2007) have proposed a functional classification scheme for bacteria, but both oligotrophic and copiotrophic classes occur within the Gram-negative bacteria, so measurements of bacterial community composition must occur at finer taxonomic resolution than PLFA groups to be functionally…”
Patterns and mechanisms of responses by soil microbial communities to nitrogen addition (2017, background): “The plausible interpretation is that copiotrophic bacteria require more N per unit biomass C accumulation than oligotrophic fungi (Fierer et al., 2007; Manzoni et al., 2012; Waring et al., 2013; Mooshammer et al., 2014; Zechmeister-Boltenstern et al., 2015).”
Microbial stress-response physiology and its implications for ecosystem function. (2007, neutral): “…soil microbial community is comprised of drought-tolerant, but less active microbes, and a group of r -selected rapidly growing but drought sensitive microbes, with traits closely analogous to the stress tolerators and colonizers of Grime’s (1977) plant classiﬁcation system (Fierer et al. 2007).”
Soil carbon quality and nitrogen fertilization structure bacterial communities with predictable responses of major bacterial phyla (2014, neutral): “Earlier, Fierer et al. (2007)”
The Black Queen Hypothesis: Evolution of Dependencies through Adaptive Gene Loss (2012, background): “It is also worth noting the parallels between these two alternative evolutionary trajectories and the ideas of r- and K-selected organisms (52) and of “copiotrophs” and “oligotrophs” (53); one could speculate that the dynamics implicit in the BQH have been important in promoting the division between”
Forest Soil Bacteria: Diversity, Involvement in Ecosystem Processes, and Response to Global Change (2017, background): “for bacterial strains with rapid growth and low-affinity substrate enzymes (r-strategists) that are enriched in comparison to the bulk soil profile (73, 132).”
Trends in soil microbial communities during secondary succession (2017, background): “Besides the fungi:bacteria ratio, the copiotrophic vs. oligotrophic spectrum also exists within bacteria (Fierer et al., 2007; Zechmeister-Boltenstern et al., 2015).”
The effect of resource history on the functioning of soil microbial communities is maintained across time (2011, background): “Soil microbial communities play a pivotal role in ecosystems as drivers of biogeochemical processes, including carbon and nitrogen cycling (Allison and Martiny, 2008; Lauber et al., 2009; Bell et al., 2005; Fierer et al., 2007; Manzoni and Porporato, 2009; McGuire and Treseder, 2010; Wallenstein et ”
Digging deeper to find unique microbial communities: The strong effect of depth on the structure of bacterial and archaeal communities in soil (2012, background): “and aremost abundant in soils that have relatively large amounts of labile organic carbon, including rhizosphere soils (Fierer et al., 2007).”
