Meta-analysis reveals ammonia-oxidizing bacteria respond more strongly to nitrogen addition than ammonia-oxidizing archaea (2016, background): “. plant composition (Bobbink et al., 2010), net primary productivity (LeBauer and Treseder, 2008), and processes such as decomposition, nitrification, and denitrification (Barnard et al., 2005; Vivanco and Austin, 2011; Frey et al., 2014).”
Decay rates of leaf litters from arbuscular mycorrhizal trees are more sensitive to soil effects than litters from ectomycorrhizal trees (2015, background): “While Vivanco & Austin (2011) found that microbial specialization effects were disrupted by N addition, we suggest that in this study, microbial specialization effects were limited or non-existent before N addition.”
