Fungal networks in yield-invigorating and -debilitating soils induced by prolonged potato monoculture. (2013, background): “…such as soils, individual organisms do not live in isolation but rather form a complex system of inter-species interactions that, to a large extent, determine the structure of an ecological community (Freilich et al., 2010), and consequently the function of the ecosystem (Fuhrman, 2009).”
A preliminary survey of lichen associated eukaryotes using pyrosequencing (2011, background): “1) that is typical for communities of micro-organisms (Fuhrman 2009) and indicates that the majority of phylotypes were relatively rare.”
Cropping practices manipulate abundance patterns of root and soil microbiome members paving the way to smart farming (2018, background): “Members of the soil and root microbiome interact directly and indirectly with each other, and a tool for better understanding of these potential interactions is co-occurrence network analysis [32, 33].”
Microbial communities and their relevance for ecosystem models: Decomposition as a case study (2010, background): “While we recognize that important patterns and processes also occur in marine and aquatic microbial communities (Fuhrman, 2009), here we focus on soil microbes.”
Abundance and community structure of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria and archaea in a temperate forest ecosystem under ten-years elevated CO2 (2012, background): “Soil microorganisms, encompassing the greatest diversity in terrestrial ecosystems, are the key drivers in almost all global biogeochemical cycles (Fuhrman, 2009).”
Methods for normalizing microbiome data: An ecological perspective (2018, background): “Although rare members of an ecological community often perform important functions (Fuhrman, 2009; Pedrós- Alió, 2006), the dominant members tend to drive the bulk of community functionality (Cottrell & Kirchman, 2003; Fuhrman, 2009; Zhang, Jiao, Cottrell, & Kirchman, 2006).”
Metabolic dependencies drive species co-occurrence in diverse microbial communities (2015, background): “Orth JD, Thiele I, Palsson BO (2010) What is flux balance analysis? Nat Biotechnol 28(3):245–248.”
Fundamentals of Microbial Community Resistance and Resilience (2012, background): “Similarly, negative correlations may represent the outcome of competition (i.e., displacement) or negative interactions, such as allelopathy or predation (Fuhrman, 2009).”
Microbial Surface Colonization and Biofilm Development in Marine Environments (2015, background): “Thus, systems biology approaches are necessary in order to gain an understanding of the community composition, dynamics, and especially the function and its regulation of the marine surface-associated microbiota (856).”
Soil microbial diversity during 30 years of grassland restoration on the Loess Plateau, China: Tight linkages with plant diversity (2019, background): “Co‐occurrence network analysis mathematically demonstrates the principles of microbial community assembly, thereby providing information on community interactions in natural habitats (Fuhrman, 2009).”
