Scientists’ warning to humanity: microorganisms and climate change (2019, neutral): “Soil microorganisms regulate the amount of organic carbon stored in soil and released back to the atmosphere, and indirectly influence carbon storage in plants and soils through provision of macronutrients that regulate productivity (nitrogen and phosphorus) 126,127 .”
Microbial richness and composition independently drive soil multifunctionality (2017, background): “Unlike plants or animals (Hooper et al., 2005; Lefcheck et al., 2015), we have only a limited understanding of the relationships between microbial diversity and composition, and ecosystem functioning, particularly in terrestrial environments (Bardgett & van der Putten, 2014).”
Light, earthworms, and soil resources as predictors of diversity of 10 soil invertebrate groups across monocultures of 14 tree species (2016, neutral): “…comprehensive surveys of soil organisms (e.g. van der Wal et al., 2009; Scherber et al., 2010; Postma-Blaauw et al., 2012) typically survey less than half of the taxonomic groups (families, orders, or classes) that represent common types of soil invertebrates (Bardgett and van der Putten, 2014).”
Microbes as Engines of Ecosystem Function: When Does Community Structure Enhance Predictions of Ecosystem Processes? (2016, background): “…(Dinsdale et al., 2008; Nemergut et al., 2011; Fierer et al., 2012), and links between microbial community and ecosystem processes have been observed within numerous individual studies (van der Heijden et al., 1998; Torsvik and Øvreås, 2002; Bardgett and van der Putten, 2014; Wagg et al., 2014).”
The biomass distribution on Earth (2018, background): “This was recommended by experts in the field for estimation of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi abundance (117).”
