Active microorganisms in soil: Critical review of estimation criteria and approaches (2013, background): “So, the PLFA content does not exceed 0.5% of fungal biomass (assuming the conversion factors of 42 nmol PLFA mg 1 fungal C [Joergensen and Wichern, 2008] and of 15 mmol PLFA g 1 fungal biomass [Frostegård and Bååth, 1996]).”
The legacy effect of cover crops on soil fungal populations in a cereal rotation (2016, background): “Historically the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) (Glomeromycota) have been viewed as the main mycorrhizal symbionts in arable and grassland soils (Smith and Read, 2007; Joergensen and Wichern, 2008).”
The roles of microorganisms in litter decomposition and soil formation (2014, background): “Although the contribution of bacterial mass to the biomolecules was not evaluated in this study, it would likely account for a similar or smaller contribution as was observed for fungal hyphae (Guggenberger et al. 1999; Joergensen and Wichern 2008).”
Quantitative assessment of microbial necromass contribution to soil organic matter (2019, background): “…actual bacterial or fungal mass is variable since the conversion factors contain significant variations for different microorganisms (Appuhn & Joergensen, 2006; Joergensen & Wichern, 2008), yet constitute an appropriate simplification in order to explore a range of microbe‐derived carbon to SOM.”
Evaluation of methods to estimate production, biomass and turnover of ectomycorrhizal mycelium in forests soils : A review (2013, methodology): “Using data from Joergensen and Wichern (2008), we estimate that one standard deviation around the mean gives a span of around 6e50 of the glucosamine to C conversion factor, which suggests a rather low precision in the conversion.”
Invasion of Solidago gigantea in contrasting experimental plant communities: effects on soil microbes, nutrients and plant–soil feedbacks (2010, background): “:P ratios in soil favour fungal over bacterial growth (Joergensen & Wichern 2008; Güsewell & Gessner 2009).”
Long-term effects of organic farming on fungal and bacterial residues in relation to microbial energy metabolism (2010, background): “In contrast to these general characteristics, the content of saprotrophic fungi, as indicated by the ergosterol content (Joergensen and Wichern 2008), remained constant, and was not improved by the application of farmyard manure and other organic farming practices, suggesting a shift in the…”
The biomass distribution on Earth (2018, methodology): “These methods include direct microscopic counts, and measurements of cell wall components which are characteristic to either fungi or bacteria (114).”
Soil extracellular enzyme activities correspond with abiotic factors more than fungal community composition (2013, result): “This supports previous research showing that soil fungi comprise a significant portion of microbial biomass belowground (Joergensen and Wichern 2008; Strickland and Rousk 2010) and regulate C and nutrient cycling in terrestrial ecosystems (Hattenschwiler et al.”
Plant functional groups mediate drought resistance and recovery in a multisite grassland experiment (2018, background): “This NLFA biomarker is considered to be more reliable than the PLFA biomarker 16:1ω5 for soils that have a high abundance of bacteria (Frostegård, Tunlid, & Bååth, 2011; Joergensen & Wichern, 2008).”
Simulated Nitrogen Deposition Causes a Decline of Intra- and Extraradical Abundance of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi and Changes in Microbial Community Structure in Northern Hardwood Forests (2010, background): “Better estimates of 16:1x5c values in soil bacteria are needed to know the contribution of bacteria to 16:1x5c concentrations in soil (Joergensen and Wichern 2008).”
