• Soil biota accelerate decomposition in high‐elevation forests by specializing in the breakdown of litter produced by the plant species above them (2009, result): “Similar re-inoculation procedures have been performed in other studies (Laakso & Seta¨ la¨ 1999; Griffiths et al. 2001; Ayres et al. 2004; Heath et al. 2005), but it is probable that rare species and species intolerant of disturbance are underrepresented in re-inoculated communities.”
• Soil‐mediated effects of invasive ungulates on native tree seedlings (2014, background): “Ungulates can also affect soil properties via shifts in plant nutrient and carbon (C) allocation strategies (Hamilton & Frank 2001; Ayres et al. 2004), in turn increasing microbial activity (Hamilton et al. 2008).”
• Regulation and function of root exudates. (2008, background): “These positive effects subsequently create a positive feedback with the plant, ultimately benefiting plant growth in longer term (Hamilton & Frank 2001; Ayres et al. 2004).”
• Does herbivory really suppress mycorrhiza? A meta‐analysis (2010, background): “higher leaf nitrogen content than non-defoliated plants (Hamilton & Frank 2001; Ayres et al. 2004; Hamilton et al. 2008).”
• The influence of below-ground herbivory and defoliation of a legume on nitrogen transfer to neighbouring plants. (2007, background): “Defoliation has been shown to stimulate soil N availability through effects on the physiology of trees (Ayres et al. 2004) and a grazingtolerant grass (Hamilton & Frank 2001).”
