Responses of grassland soil nematodes and protozoa to multi-year and single-year applications of dairy manure slurry and fertilizer (2005, methodology): “The field plots sampled in this study were part of a multifaceted study of the long-term effects of applying dairy manure slurry to grassland at variable rates and frequencies over multiple years ( Bittman et al., 2005; Raworth et al., 2004).”
Integrated crop and livestock systems in Western Europe and South America: A review (2014, background): “Animal wastes also have also a positive effect on the microbial diversity of soil, because they are a source of various nutrients for native micro-flora and a complex inoculum (Bittman et al., 2005; Lalande et al., 2000).”
Changes in microbial community structure following herbicide (glyphosate) additions to forest soils (2006, background): “Bacterial-dominated soils are most common in intensively-managed agriculture and grassland systems that rely on repeated applications of fertilizer or manure (Bardgett and McAlister, 1999; Bittman et al., 2005).”
