Forest Soil Bacteria: Diversity, Involvement in Ecosystem Processes, and Response to Global Change (2017, background): “are the major natural agents responsible for N fixation in forest ecosystems (36) and for”
Linking N2O emissions from biochar-amended soil to the structure and function of the N-cycling microbial community (2013, background): “Further evidence for a potentially lower oxygen availability in the biochar-containing microcosms also comes from the elevated nifH gene copy numbers in the microcosms because a low oxygen partial pressure is also considered to be one of the controlling factors of microbial N2-fixation (Vitousek et ”
Relationships among phosphorus, molybdenum and free-living nitrogen fixation in tropical rain forests: results from observational and experimental analyses (2013, background): “It is clear that fertilization can rapidly alter free-living N-fixing community composition (Reed et al. 2010, 2011).”
Effects of model structural uncertainty on carbon cycle projections: biological nitrogen fixation as a case study (2015, methodology): “These more mechanistic approaches are consistent with recent empirical work showing that disturbance history (Batterman et al 2013, Sullivan et al 2014) and soil P dynamics (Houlton et al 2008, Reed et al 2011, Nasto et al 2014) influence BNF.”
Biological nitrogen fixation by alternative nitrogenases in terrestrial ecosystems: a review (2020, background): “These findings force a reassessment of the relative contribution of symbiotic N fixation in higher plants to terrestrial BNF and concomitantly, of the predominance of the Mo-isoform in the same process (Reed et al. 2011).”
The Global Distribution of Biological Nitrogen Fixation in Terrestrial Natural Ecosystems (2020, background): “Two primary classes of BNF can be distinguished: symbiotic (also known as associative or nodulating fixation) (Granhall, 1981) and free‐living (also known as nonsymbiotic or asymbiotic) (Reed et al., 2011).”
Global assessment of limitation to symbiotic nitrogen fixation by phosphorus availability in terrestrial ecosystems using a meta‐analysis approach (2013, background): “When performed by free-living microorganisms, this reaction is called asymbiotic N2 fixation [Reed et al., 2011].”
Production of greenhouse‐grown biocrust mosses and associated cyanobacteria to rehabilitate dryland soil function (2016, background): “It is also known that P can stimulate N2 fixation (Reed et al. 2011), and it appears that the simultaneous addition of non-N nutrients in our experiment, especially P, stimulated N2 fixation rates (Reed et al. 2007).”
Bacteria and fungi can contribute to nutrients bioavailability and aggregate formation in degraded soils. (2016, neutral): “Moreover, P limitation in soil decreases the activity of nitrogenase enzyme in N-fixing bacteria, because both autotrophic and heterotrophic bacteria require high ATP for cellular N2 fixation (Reed et al., 2007,2011; Pérez et al., 2014).”
Microbial interactions in the rhizosphere: beneficial influences of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria on nutrient acquisition process. A review (2015, background): “, in the bulk soil (Reed et al. 2011), and include Cyanobacteria, Proteobacteria, Archaea, and Firmicutes (Kahindi et al.”
Stoichiometric imbalances between terrestrial decomposer communities and their resources: mechanisms and implications of microbial adaptations to their resources (2014, background): “Amongst other controls, biological N fixation is stimulated by elevated concentrations of labile organic C and P and feedback inhibited by high concentrations of ammonium and amino acids (Reed et al., 2011).”
