Protozoa and plant growth: the microbial loop in soil revisited. (2004, methodology): “Third as a consequence of the second point, the production of significantly more roots in the presence of protozoa enabled plants to benefit from the liberated nitrogenpool, while constant grazing pressure shifted the competition for nutrients in favour of roots (Bonkowski et al., 2000b).”
Rhizosphere fauna: the functional and structural diversity of intimate interactions of soil fauna with plant roots (2009, unknown): “The increase in laterals plays a crucial role in plant development because they form the scaffold for the architecture of the branched root system (Malamy and Benfey 1997) and enhance root uptake of nutrients released by protozoa (Bonkowski et al. 2000b; Somasundaram et al. 2008).”
The impact of agricultural practices on soil biota: A regional study (2013, background): “…into account to 14 explain the observed negative response of soil biota to agricultural intensity (Ingham et al., 1985; 15 Alphei et al., 1996; Bonkowski et al., 2000), although we did not provide data about it, except 16 indirectly through the plant cover, which was divided by two from…”
Acquisition of phosphorus and nitrogen in the rhizosphere and plant growth promotion by microorganisms (2009, background): “…example, in an experiment using 15N/13C labelled organic nutrient sources combined with manipulation of the composition of microfaunal populations, Bonkowski et al. (2000) observed effects on ryegrass growth and concluded that microfaunal grazing increased the temporal coupling of nutrient…”
Stimulation of Plant Growth through Interactions of Bacteria and Protozoa: Testing the Auxiliary Microbial Loop Hypothesis (2012, background): “Since the driving force is the C originating from grass residues, this mechanism even works in complete absence of plants (Rønn et al. (2001), and will overcast any rhizosphere effects (Bonkowski et al. 2000, 2001b).”
Microbial hotspots and hot moments in soil: Concept & review (2015, background): “The results were collected from the following studies et al., 2006; Berg and Steinberger, 2008; Marschner et al., 2012; Troxler et al., 2012; Turner 2014; Reischke et al., 2014); For Detritusphere: (Bonkowski et al., 2000b; Berg and Steinberg Baath, 2007); For Biopores: (Tiunov and Scheu, 1999; Trox”
Microflora, Protozoa and Nematoda in Lumbricus terrestris burrow walls: a laboratory experiment (2001, background): “Görres et al. (1997) suggested that grazing of nematodes on microbial biomass could be responsible for the acceleration of nitrogen mineralization and microbial respiration in earthworm burrows.”
