Plant genotype strongly modifies the structure and growth of maize rhizosphere microbial communities (2010, background): “fertilizers may enhance plant yield, it may also reduce microbial diversity, biomass and activity (Johnson et al., 2005; Mäder et al., 2002).”
Efficacy of Biofertilizers: Challenges to Improve Crop Production (2016, background): “…reduce soil microbial activity, with both quantitative and qualitative effects on soil bacterial and AMF communities which negatively impacted natural mycorrhizal colonization of roots (Mäder et al. 2002 ; Johnson et al. 2005 ; Hartmann and Widmer 2006 ; Oehl et al. 2004 ; Toljander et al. 2008 ).”
Nitrogen inputs accelerate phosphorus cycling rates across a wide variety of terrestrial ecosystems. (2012, unknown): “These two data points were for laboratory bioassay seedlings of Agrostis capillaries that were transplanted into experimental grassland sites (Johnson et al., 1999, 2005).”
