No ‘home’ versus ‘away’ effects of decomposition found in a grassland–forest reciprocal litter transplant study (2011, methodology): “It is possible that this pattern was driven by unsuitability of the forest habitat for certain bacterial species (Nielsen et al., 2010); however, the use of diversity indices with PLFA data has recently been questioned (Frostegård et al.”
Soil pH drives the spatial distribution of bacterial communities along elevation on Changbai Mountain (2013, background): “Whereas at a landscape scale, Nielsen et al. (2010) observed that soil bacterial community composition was not directly associated with plants, but selected by soil pH and C/N ratio.”
Examining the global distribution of dominant archaeal populations in soil (2011, result): “Soil C:N ratio was the only measured variable that was consistently correlated with relative archaeal abundances across all data sets, a result that parallels previous research showing that C:N ratios were strongly related to the composition of soil archaeal communities at the landscape scale (Niels”
