• Soil aggregate size mediates the impacts of cropping regimes on soil carbon and microbial communities (2015, background): “Introduction Soil carbon (C) is a key component of terrestrial ecosystems that affects the physical, chemical and biological properties of soil and contributes greatly to its functioning (Schmidt et al., 2011, Ontl and Schulte, 2012).”
• Plant growth-promoting bacteria as inoculants in agricultural soils (2015, background): “…directly contribute to the stability of soil aggregates through the inherent abundance of these structures in organic matter and the production of exudates stimulating microbial activity, and indirectly by the production of EPS (Leigh and Coplin, 1992; Alami et al., 2000; Schmidt et al., 2011).”
• Microbial carbon use efficiency promotes global soil carbon storage (2023, background): “5), possibly indicating stronger interactions of organic matter with mineral particles at depth 3 .”
