Role of Fungi in the Biomineralization of Calcite (2016, background): “These processes are crucial, for instance, for nutrient bioavailability in the biosphere but can also lead to the release of toxic compounds in the environment [32,47].”
Moss-dominated biocrusts increase soil microbial abundance and community diversity and improve soil fertility in semi-arid climates on the Loess Plateau of China (2017, positive): “It is well known that both soil bacteria and fungi are responsible for important processes (Paul, 2015) even in biocrusts (Maier et al., 2014; Steven et al., 2014; Mueller et al., 2015).”
Modeling the temperature effect on the specific growth rate of phytoplankton: a review (2017, background): “Microorganisms play a key ecological role since they are involved in most of the biogeochemical fluxes (Paul 2014; Fuhrman et al. 2015).”
Biogeochemical cycles and biodiversity as key drivers of ecosystem services provided by soils (2015, background): “Thus, SOM is composed of plant litter compounds as well as microbial and, to a smaller extent, faunal decomposition products (Paul, 2014).”
