Fungal community on decomposing leaf litter undergoes rapid successional changes (2012, methodology): “The same material was also used for chemical analyses, measurement of enzyme activities and quantification of microbial biomass as described in Šnajdr et al. (2011).”
Microbial communities and their relevance for ecosystem models: Decomposition as a case study (2010, background): “Several studies highlight correlations between shifts in microbial community structure and ecosystem function (Waldrop et al., 2000; Snajdr et al., 2008; Hsu and Buckley, 2009), but few are able to directly control for species numbers, microbial abundance, or functional groups.”
Production of extracellular enzymes and degradation of biopolymers by saprotrophic microfungi from the upper layers of forest soil (2010, background): “The soil was an acidic cambisol (inceptisol) with developed L, H, Ah and A horizons: L— thickness 0.5–1.5 cm, pH 4.3; 46.2% C; 1.76% N; H—thickness 1.5–2.5 cm, pH 3.7; 21.5% C; 0.56% N. High, but spatially variable activity of extracellular ligninolytic and hydrolytic enzymes was found in the soil o”
Laccases: toward disentangling their diversity and functions in relation to soil organic matter cycling (2010, background): “Irrespective of the litter type, several studies showed significantly higher phenol oxidase activity in soil organic layers (forest floor) with high contents of recalcitrant plant compounds than in mineral soil (Finzi et al. 2006; Gallo et al. 2004; Luis et al. 2005b; Sinsabaugh et al. 2005; Šnajdr ”

Changes in extracellular enzyme activity and microbial community structure with soil depth at the Luquillo Critical Zone Observatory (2014, background): “Several studies have found that potential enzyme activities decrease with depth (Taylor et al., 2002; Venkatesan and Senthurpandian, 2006; Snajdr et al., 2008; Gelsomino and Azzellino, 2011; Steinweg et al., 2013).”
Active and total microbial communities in forest soil are largely different and highly stratified during decomposition (2011, methodology): “In agreement with previous studies on the vertical stratification of soil decomposition processes (Wittmann et al., 2004; Šnajdr et al., 2008), we show that the L and H horizons differ significantly in both the total and relative amounts of bacterial and fungal biomasses (Figure 1).”
Small-scale distribution of extracellular enzymes, fungal, and bacterial biomass in Quercus petraea forest topsoil (2010, methodology): “Soil and litter samples were collected in the Xaverovský Haj Natural Reserve, near Prague, Czech Republic in a sessile oak (Q. petraea) forest, a site previously used for the characterization of enzyme production by saprotrophic fungi (Valaskova et al. 2007; Baldrian et al. 2010), and for the analys”
Phenol oxidase, peroxidase and organic matter dynamics of soil (2010, background): “Snajdr et al. (2008) looked at smaller scale variation in microbial communty composition and enzyme activity in oak forest soils: Peroxidase activities varied more than 15X on horizontal scales of 50 cm and was significantly greater in the H horizon than the L horizon, which were separated by only…”
Direct and indirect effects of climate change on soil microbial and soil microbial‐plant interactions: What lies ahead? (2015, background): “Further, microbial functions, such as enzyme production and substrate availability, can vary through the soil matrix (Šnajdr et al. 2008).”
