• Biogeochemical cycles and biodiversity as key drivers of ecosystem services provided by soils (2015, background): “Symbiotic mycorrhizal fungi can also directly impact the turnover of organic matter by the production of exo-enzymes (Averill et al., 2014; Finzi et al., 2015).”
• Functional guild classification predicts the enzymatic role of fungi in litter and soil biogeochemistry (2015, background): “…composition can affect the rates of these processes (Setala andMcLean, 2004; Srivastava et al., 2009; Fukami, 2010; LeBauer, 2010) and landscape-level C cycle models that incorporate explicit microbial processes can improve predictions of soil C balance (Wieder et al., 2013; Averill et al., 2014).”
• The Ecology of Soil Carbon: Pools, Vulnerabilities, and Biotic and Abiotic Controls (2017, background): “Recent research (Averill et al. 2014, Averill & Hawkes 2016) demonstrated that ecosystems dominated by plants with symbiotic ectomycorrhizal fungi store more carbon in soils than ecosystems dominated by arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM)-associated plants.”
• Branching out: Towards a trait-based understanding of fungal ecology (2015, background): “We live in a fungal world (de Boer et al., 2005); fungi profoundly impact population, community and ecosystem dynamics from local to global scales (Averill et al., 2014; Fisher et al., 2012).”
• Arbuscular mycorrhizal hyphae promote priming of native soil organic matter mineralisation (2016, background): “productivity and also for the balance of C-accrual and loss from soil (Cheng et al. 2012; Averill et al. 2014).”
