Bacteria rather than Archaea dominate microbial ammonia oxidation in an agricultural soil. (2009, background): “It is noteworthy that soil microbial biomass and enzymatic activities generally decline with increasing soil depth in most upland terrestrial ecosystems (Taylor et al., 2002; Fierer et al., 2003; Castellazzi et al., 2004; Holden and Fierer, 2005), which is also true for the kinetic activity of micro”
Plant rooting strategies in water‐limited ecosystems (2007, background): “Soil nutrients and microorganisms are intimately tied to the physical and biochemical environment provided by roots [Farrar et al., 2003;Holden and Fierer, 2005; Jobbágy and Jackson, 2001].”
How Deep Can Surface Signals Be Traced in the Critical Zone? Merging Biodiversity with Biogeochemistry Research in a Central German Muschelkalk Landscape (2016, background): “(Holden and Fierer, 2005) Nevertheless, living microorganisms involved in the reduction of nitrate, sulfate and iron as well as acetogenesis, and methanogenesis have been reported from groundwater within granitic bedrock at depths of up to 978m (Pedersen, 1997; Hallbeck and Pedersen, 2008) while the”
The Effect of Soil Texture on Richness and Diversity of Bacterial Communities (2011, background): “Because bacterial abundance varies with depth in the vadose zone (Holden and Fierer, 2005), all samples were taken from the same depth range below the surface (13 to 19 inches [33 to 48 cm]).”
