• Impact of inorganic nitrogen additions on microbes in biological soil crusts (2015, background): “In addition, N manipulation variously reported increases, decreases or no net changes in the diversity and structure of fungal communities (Johnson, 1993; Frey et al., 2004; Jumpponen and Johnson, 2005; Allison et al., 2007).”
• The Role of Microbial Communities in the Formation and Decomposition of Soil Organic Matter (2010, background): “The lipid content of soil organic matter ranges from 2% to 20% (Allison et al. 2007b).”
• Low levels of nitrogen addition stimulate decomposition by boreal forest fungi (2009, background): “Using clone libraries, we then looked for changes in fungal community composition that could explain the lack of response to N. The community composition changed dramatically with N addition, but most of the taxa we identified were likely ectomycorrhizal, so their relevance for soil C cycling is unc”
• Independent roles of ectomycorrhizal and saprotrophic communities in soil organic matter decomposition (2013, background): “ECM fungi are also consistently dominant in lower soil horizons, where nutrient availability is high relative to C availability (Allison et al., 2007; McGuire et al., 2011; O’Brien et al., 2005).”
• Nitrogen addition stimulates forest litter decomposition and disrupts species interactions in Patagonia, Argentina (2011, background): “Additionally, N addition has been shown to change microbial community composition and decrease microbial diversity (Allison et al., 2007) that could lead to a decreased decomposition rate due to the loss of certain decomposer guilds.”
• Changes in extracellular enzyme activity and microbial community structure with soil depth at the Luquillo Critical Zone Observatory (2014, background): “Changes in community structure can occur due to changes in the relative fitness of various microorganisms under altered C or nutrient regimes (Fierer and Jackson, 2006; Allison et al., 2007; Rinkes et al., 2011; DeForest et al., 2012), leading to selection for organisms that can better exploit avail”
• A cross-seasonal comparison of active and total bacterial community composition in Arctic tundra soil using bromodeoxyuridine labeling (2011, methodology): “Labeled DNA, derived only from actively growing organisms, can then analyzed by standard molecular methods including T-RFLP and qPCR (Allison et al., 2007; Artursson et al., 2005; Edlund and Jansson, 2008).”
• Microbial activity and soil respiration under nitrogen addition in Alaskan boreal forest (2008, methodology): “In an earlier study, we found that N addition in Alaskan boreal forest reduced fungal diversity, but had relatively little effect on the community structure of soil fungi (Allison et al., 2007).”
• Environmental filtering affects soil fungal community composition more than dispersal limitation at regional scales (2014, background): “…have been linked to shifts in fungal composition in a variety of ecosystems (Dickie et al., 2002; Lilleskov et al., 2002; Hoffland et al., 2004; Allison et al., 2007; Johnson et al., 2010), and are particularly relevant in southern California where nitrogen deposition can affect fungal…”
• Microbial communities and their relevance for ecosystem models: Decomposition as a case study (2010, background): “Many studies document shifts in microbial community structure in response to global changes such as soil warming (Zogg et al., 1997; Allison and Treseder, 2008), N amendment (Allison et al., 2007; Treseder, 2008), and elevated concentrations of greenhouse gases (Treseder, 2004; Carney et al., 2007).”
• Chronic nitrogen additions fundamentally restructure the soil fungal community in a temperate forest (2016, background): “…and Allen, 2000; Lilleskov et al., 2001, 2002; Treseder, 2004; Parrent and Vilgalys, 2007; van Diepen et al., 2011), saprotrophic taxa (Allison et al., 2007), or lignindecomposing basidiomycetes (Blackwood et al., 2007; Hofmockel et al., 2007; Hassett et al., 2009; Lauber et al.,…”
