Biochar in bioenergy cropping systems: impacts on soil faunal communities and linked ecosystem processes (2013, background): “In more stable seminatural systems, higher productivity may be associated with amplified litter and root inputs to the soil, potentially benefiting root feeders, detritivores and fungivores in the rhizosphere (Sarathchandra et al., 2001; Wardle et al., 2004; Yeates, 1987).”
Soil microbial communities resistant to changes in plant functional group composition (2011, background): “Although Sarathchandra et al. (2001) also reported decreased functional diversity of the microbial community after nitrogen addition, others have reported an increase in SIR values with fertilization (Grayston et al., 2004; Lagomarsino et al., 2007).”
Higher rates of nitrogen fertilization decrease soil enzyme activities, microbial functional diversity and nitrification capacity in a Chinese polytunnel greenhouse vegetable land (2010, background): “Masto et al. 2006; Chang et al. 2007; Chu et al. 2007), but decreased by excess N fertilization, mostly due to soil pH decrease under long-term fertilization practices (McAndrew and Malhi 1992; Ladd et al. 1994; Sarathchandra et al. 2001; He et al. 2007b).”
