Microbial community response to varying magnitudes of desiccation in soil: A test of the osmolyte accumulation hypothesis (2013, background): “Indeed, recent studies have shown opposite trends, that gram-negative are more well adapted than gram-positive bacteria to water stress (Williams, 2007; Williams and Rice, 2007; Aanderud and Lennon, 2011, Fig.”
Factors affecting soil microbial community structure in tomato cropping systems (2010, background): “Microbial communities in drought-prone prairie soils did respond to increased water availability (Williams, 2007; Williams and Rice, 2007), but these were long-term treatments with greater differences between irrigated and non-irrigated treatments than the differences in our study.”
Drought‐resistant fungi control soil organic matter decomposition and its response to temperature (2011, background): “…in models (Moorhead & Sinsabaugh, 2006; Allison & Martiny, 2008) the structure and functioning of soil microbial communities is affected by seasonality and site characteristics (Lipson et al., 2002, 2009; Waldrop & Firestone, 2006a, b; Schmidt et al., 2007; Williams, 2007; Williams & Rice, 2007).”
