Priming and microbial nutrient limitation in lowland tropical forest soils of contrasting fertility (2012, background): “…tropical forests where experimental P-addition increased microbial mineralization of dissolved organic matter (Cleveland et al. 2006) and increased soil CO2 efflux (Cleveland and Townsend 2006), and where elevated P concentration in litter increased decomposition rates (Hobbie and Vitousek 2000).”
Contrasting Effects of Substrate and Fertilizer Nitrogen on the Early Stages of Litter Decomposition (2005, background): “…microbial C:N ratio (Knapp and others 1983), consistent with studies showing greater N immobilization without concomitant increased mass loss in response to N fertilization (for example, Pastor and others 1987; Fog 1988; Hunt and others 1988; Downs and others 1996; Hobbie and Vitousek 2000 ).”
Towards an ecological understanding of biological nitrogen fixation (2002, background): “However, in natural systems N additions sometimes stimulate decomposition, more often have no effect, and occasionally even slow decomposition (Prescott 1995; Downs et al. 1996; Hobbie & Vitousek 2000).”
Leaf economics traits predict litter decomposition of tropical plants and differ among land use types (2011, background): “…tropical rainforest soils are thought to be limited in P, and despite the fact that most decomposition studies in lowland tropical forests find LPC to be more important for decomposition than LNC (Vitousek 1984; Aerts 1997; Hobbie & Vitousek 2000; Santiago 2007; Wieder, Cleveland & Townsend 2009).”
Do arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi stabilize litter‐derived carbon in soil? (2016, background): “…Fierer & Reynolds 2008) or neutrally affects (Nottingham et al. 2015) the decomposition of stable C pools and increases the decomposition of labile C (Cheshire & Chapman 1996; Hobbie & Vitousek 2000; Cleveland, Townsend & Schmidt 2003) and abundance of fungal decomposers (Nielsen et al. 2015).”
Macro-invertebrates accelerate litter decomposition and nutrient release in a Hawaiian rainforest (2011, result): “36) (Vitousek et al., 1997a; Ostertag and Hobbie, 1999; Hobbie and Vitousek, 2000).”
The Role of Microbial Communities in the Formation and Decomposition of Soil Organic Matter (2010, background): “…mining as previous studies suggest that phosphorus additions would either increase short- and long-term mineralization of soil organic matter (Hobbie and Vitousek 2000; Craine et al. 2007) or have no effect (Cleveland and Townsend 2006; McGroddy et al. 2004) depending on the initial…”
Nitrogen addition stimulates forest litter decomposition and disrupts species interactions in Patagonia, Argentina (2011, background): “…fertilization experiments in temperate forests and grasslands have shown widely variable effects on decomposition, with evidence for increased mass loss (Hunt et al., 1988; Hobbie, 2000), neutral effects (Prescott, 1995; Hobbie & Vitousek, 2000) or inhibition of decomposition (Magill & Aber, 1998).”
ATTENUATION OF TOP-DOWN AND BOTTOM-UP FORCES IN A COMPLEX TERRESTRIAL COMMUNITY (2004, background): “…predictions (Oksanen et al. 1981, Moore et al. 2003) and empirical findings (e.g., Gutierrez et al. 1994, Uriarte and Schmitz 1998, Forkner and Hunter 2000, Moran and Scheidler 2002), I predicted that resource limitation would be pervasive, but expected that greater bird response or…”
Carbon quality rather than stoichiometry controls litter decomposition in a tropical rain forest (2010, background): “In a P-limited Hawaiian montane forest, increasing litter P concentrations and increasing soil N and P availability, were both followed by increasing decomposition rates (Hobbie & Vitousek 2000).”
