Soils as agents of selection: feedbacks between plants and soils alter seedling survival and performance (2010, unknown): “well as in adjacent streams (Schweitzer et al. 2004; LeRoy and Marks 2006).”
Within-species variation in foliar chemistry influences leaf-litter decomposition in a Utah river (2007, background): “These results contradict other recent research comparing species-level mixtures (Swan and Palmer 2004, LeRoy and Marks 2006), and a terrestrial study using similar cottonwood genotypes (Schweitzer et al. 2005a).”
Effects of litter diversity on decomposition and biological colonization of submerged litter in temperate and tropical streams (2012, background): “The invertebrate density associated with litter can increase, decrease, or remain unaltered when litter diversity increases (Blair et al. 1990, Leroy and Marks 2006, Taylor et al. 2007, Abelho 2009, Kominoski and Pringle 2009, Sanpera-Calbet et al. 2009), and microbial activity seems to depend on…”
Leaf litter traits predominantly control litter decomposition in streams worldwide (2018, background): “Understanding the relative contribution of these extrinsic and intrinsic factors, and their interactions, at both the site level and the global scale, will undoubtedly contribute to elucidating the main factors affecting litter decomposition in aquatic ecosystems (LeRoy & Marks, 2006).”
