• Stoichiometry constrains microbial response to root exudation- insights from a model and a field experiment in a temperate forest (2012, background): “This conclusion is consistent with data from a variety of biomes where experimental additions of C- and N-containing substrates stimulated microbial activity in lab and field conditions to a greater degree than C-only additions (Vance and Chapin, 2001; Sorensen et al., 2008; Brown et al., 2009; Curr”
• Distribution of phosphatase activity and various bacterial phyla in the rhizosphere of Hordeum vulgare L. depending on P availability (2015, background): “The major reason for why microbes might use organic phosphorylated compounds as a C source, is that they are usually C limited in mineral soil (Joergensen et al., 1990; Vance and Chapin, 2001).”
• Nitrogen additions and microbial biomass: a meta-analysis of ecosystem studies. (2008, background): “Microbial biomass might instead be limited by the availability of water, phosphorus or belowground C sources (Baath et al. 1981; Biederbeck et al. 1984; Scheu 1990; Vance & Chapin 2001; Demoling et al. 2007).”
• Role of microbes in organic carbon decomposition and maintenance of soil ecosystem (2017, background): “This is due to the lack of oxygen due to greater oxygen consumption by the root as compared to the bulk soil, soil at a greater distance from the root [23].”
• Distribution of microbial- and root-derived phosphatase activities in the rhizosphere depending on P availability and C allocation – Coupling soil zymography with 14C imaging (2013, background): “Due to C limitation, many microbial populations in soil show features of a dormant state (Joergensen et al., 1990; Vance and Chapin, 2001).”
• Microbial N immobilization is of great importance in acidified mountain spruce forest soils (2013, background): “On the basis of these results and others from the literature (Vance and Chapin, 2001; Stark and Hart, 1997; Davidson et al., 1992; Strader and Binkley, 1989; Vitousek et al., 1982), we suggest that microbial N immobilization can be the primary process of N transformation affecting N leaching from N ”
