Controls over mycorrhizal uptake of organic nitrogen (2010, background): “Nonetheless, plant growth is N-limited in most terrestrial ecosystems around the world (Vitousek and Howarth, 1991; LeBauer and Treseder, 2008) (Fig.”
Microbial communities and their relevance for ecosystem models: Decomposition as a case study (2010, background): “Many studies document shifts in microbial community structure in response to global changes such as soil warming (Zogg et al., 1997; Allison and Treseder, 2008), N amendment (Allison et al., 2007; Treseder, 2008), and elevated concentrations of greenhouse gases (Treseder, 2004; Carney et al., 2007).”
Stoichiometry constrains microbial response to root exudation- insights from a model and a field experiment in a temperate forest (2012, background): “…forests reduces microbial biomass, soil respiration , exoenzyme activities, and decomposition rates, leading to the accumulation of SOM, particularly in the organic horizon (Wallenstein et al., 2006; Treseder, 2008; Janssens et al., 2010; Thomas et al., 2012; but see Saiya-Cork et al., 2002).”
Comparative metagenomic, phylogenetic and physiological analyses of soil microbial communities across nitrogen gradients (2011, methodology): “…directly or indirectly, related to the changes in microbial carbon dynamics that are typically observed in soils receiving experimental N additions (Treseder, 2008; Janssens et al., 2010; Liu and Greaver, 2010), but the mechanisms underlying these changes in carbon dynamics remain largely…”
Effects of monoculture and mixed culture of grass and legume forage species on soil microbial community structure under different levels of nitrogen fertilization (2015, background): “In contrast, long-term inorganic nitrogen fertilization was generally reported to suppress the microbial biomass and activity [23,55].”
Response of soil microbial communities to altered precipitation: A global synthesis (2018, methodology): “We found that all the precipitation-manipulation experiments found in the literature search used only these two methods, and thus, like a previous meta-analysis (Treseder, 2008), we adopted the microbial biomass that was measured with these two methods.”
Consistent effects of nitrogen amendments on soil microbial communities and processes across biomes (2012, background): “These ﬁndings correspond with results obtained in ﬁeld studies, where decreases in soil respiration ranged between 8% and 15% and biomass decreases ranged between 11% and 20% (Treseder, 2008; Janssens et al. , 2010; Liu & Greaver, 2010).”
The legacy effect of cover crops on soil fungal populations in a cereal rotation (2016, result): “…a negative correlation with soil nitrate-N was found, consistent with the pattern widely observed for mycorrhizal fungi from diverse ecosystems (Treseder, 2008), though eutrophication also leads to shifts in the relative abundances within these groupings depending on differential tolerance of…”
Changes in soil microbial community structure and metabolic activity following conversion from native Pinus massoniana plantations to exotic Eucalyptus plantations (2013, background): “It has been documented that the increase of soil nitrogen availability can reduce soil respiration rates (Treseder, 2008).”
Patterns and mechanisms of responses by soil microbial communities to nitrogen addition (2017, methodology): “Similar to a previous meta-analysis by Treseder (2008), we only adopted the microbial biomass measured with the chloroform fumigationeextraction technique and the total phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) analysis, which are the most commonly used methods for microbial biomass measurements.”
Response of decomposing litter and its microbial community to multiple forms of nitrogen enrichment (2012, background): “In contrast to our results for litter, on average N reduces microbial biomass in soils (Treseder 2008).”
Ecoenzymatic stoichiometry of stream sediments with comparison to terrestrial soils (2011, background): “2010), while external applications of inorganic N depress decomposition and microbial metabolism (Knorr et al. 2005; Treseder 2008; Prescott 2010).”
