• Soil microbial biomass, functional microbial diversity, and nematode community structure as affected by cover crops and compost in an organic vegetable production system (2012, unknown): “One of the core philosophies of organic production systems is the development of healthy and productive soil that provide essential nutrients for plant growth, supports diverse and active soil biotic communities, and balances the entire farm ecosystem (Insam, 2001; Mäder et al., 2002).”
• Soil health in agricultural systems (2008, background): “The much-vaunted belief that the gene is the appropriate level to measure the state of the system (e.g. reviews by Insam 2001; Torsvik & Ovreas 2002; Kirk et al. 2004; O'Donnell 2005) may be misguided, distorted by a strong contemporary focus on (predominantly organismal) genomics in biology.”
• Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in soils (2010, unknown): “Following the trends in ecology, in the 1970s, soil microbiologists started to emphasize nutrient pools (microbial biomass) and fluxes until methods became available that were able to address more specific components of the community (Insam 2001).”
• Microbial diversity in soil: ecological theories, the contribution of molecular techniques and the impact of transgenic plants and transgenic microorganisms (2004, unknown): “Changes in the composition of soil microflora can be crucial for the functional integrity of soil (Insam 2001).”
• Biological Indices for Soil Quality Evaluation: Perspectives and Limitations (2016, background): “Traditionally, soil microbiology has been considered a black box of activity (Insam, 2001).”
