- Ecology of ligninolytic fungi associated with leaf litter decomposition (2007, background): “The activities of laccase and MnP in decomposing leaf litter has also been found to vary with litter species (Kourtev et al. 2002; Sinsabaugh et al. 2002; Allison and Vitousek 2004; Hu et al. 2006), with the type of ground cover, such as moss and lichen (Sedia and Ehrenfeld 2006), and with…”
- Wetland plant decomposition under different nutrient conditions: what is more important, litter quality or site quality? (2006, background): “On the contrary, Hobbie and Gough (2004) demonstrated a strong effect of site quality on decomposition rate in the Alaskan tundra, where the limiting nutrient was not P but N. Clearly these processes are specific for individual ecosystems and we do not have enough data to explain why in some cases t”
- Wetland macrophyte decomposition under different nutrient conditions : Relationships between decomposition rate, enzyme activities and microbial biomass (2007, background): “The impact of site versus litter quality on various decomposition variables has been studied by many researchers (Melillo et al., 1989; Hobbie and Vitousek, 2000; Kourtev et al., 2002; Hobbie and Gough, 2004; DeBusk and Reddy, 2005) with various outcomes.”
- Soil modification by invasive plants: effects on native and invasive species of mixed-grass prairies (2008, background): “…modification of various components of the biotic composition of invaded soil, e.g., affecting a soil food web (Duda et al. 2003), total soil microbial communities (Kourtev et al. 2002a, b; Kourtev et al. 2003), and mutualistic fungi (Allen et al. 2003; Hawkes et al 2006; Mummey and Rillig 2006).”
- Linear and non-linear impacts of a non-native plant invasion on soil microbial community structure and function (2011, background): “Microbial community structure Soil microbial community structure was quantified by extracting and quantifying PLFAs.”
- Exotic plant influences soil nematode communities through litter input (2007, background): “Plant litter differing in the quality may favor different soil microorganisms (Conn and Dighton, 2000; Kourtev et al., 2002b; Aneja et al., 2006) and invertebrates (Bjørnlund and Christensen, 2005; Georgieva et al., 2005; Wardle et al., 2006), and consequently influence the interactions among soil…”
- Substrate quality affects kinetics and catalytic efficiency of exo-enzymes in rhizosphere and detritusphere (2016, background): “…the parameters of microbial respiration (Anderson and Domsch, 1985; Cheng and Coleman, 1989; Anderson and Joergensen, 1997) and of enzyme kinetics (Sinsabaugh, 2010; Nannipieri et al., 2012), as indicators of organic C mineralization and substrate-specific utilization (Kourtev et al., 2002).”
- The effects of substrate composition, quantity, and diversity on microbial activity (2010, background): “While these studies have demonstrated the importance of plant community composition in influencing enzyme activity (Kourtev et al. 2002; Chung et al. 2007), field studies are unable to distinguish the effects of changes in substrate composition from other coincident changes in inputs (e.g., the…”
