Microbial control over carbon cycling in soil (2012, background): “…site is more effective than communities from other sites; the “home-field advantage” (Sinsabaugh and Moorhead, 1994; Schimel et al., 1999; Aneja et al., 2004; Craine et al., 2007; Strickland et al., 2009; Baumann et al., 2011; Freschet et al., 2011; Baldrian et al., 2012; Schneider et al., 2012).”
Melanization of mycorrhizal fungal necromass structures microbial decomposer communities (2018, background): “Finally, it is also important to note that relative sequence abundance may not necessarily reflect the functional contribution of these fungi and their contribution to substrate decomposition may still be significant even at low relative abundance (Baldrian et al., 2012).”
Total and active microbial communities and phoD as affected by phosphate depletion and pH in soil (2016, background): “It has been shown that the total and active microbial community can differ significantly during decomposition processes, as only some members of the total community (especially Acidobacteria, Actinobacteria and Proteobacteria) are metabolically active (Baldrian et al. 2012).”
Fungal community analysis by high-throughput sequencing of amplified markers – a user's guide (2013, background): “In forest soils with well-stratified profiles and deep organic layers, fungal communities may be more variable along vertical gradients than horizontally (Dickie et al., 2002; Lindahl et al., 2007; Baldrian et al., 2012).”
Evaluation of methods to estimate production, biomass and turnover of ectomycorrhizal mycelium in forests soils : A review (2013, background): “Contemporary next generation sequencing results showed that, at least in certain forest soils, fungal communities are dominated by relatively few species (Buée et al., 2009; Baldrian et al., 2012).”
Soil microbiome: a key player for conservation of soil health under changing climate (2019, background): “They have a significant role in carbon sequestration and in mediating biogeochemical cycles (Baldrian et al. 2012; Trivedi et al. 2013; Graham et al. 2016).”
Soil extracellular enzyme activities correspond with abiotic factors more than fungal community composition (2013, background): “In genomic and proteomic studies, fungi differ in their capability to produce different enzymes (Schneider et al. 2012; Baldrian et al. 2012).”
