Effect of temperature on metabolic activity of intact microbial communities: Evidence for altered metabolic pathway activity but not for increased maintenance respiration and reduced carbon use efficiency (2011, methodology): “A more mechanistic approach widely applied to respiration involves the concept of energy cost for growth, maintenance, and ion uptake processes (Amthor, 2000; Anderson and Domsch, 2010; Blagodatsky and Richter, 1998; Chapman and Gray, 1986; Van Bodegom, 2007).”
Microbial respiration per unit microbial biomass depends on litter layer carbon-to-nitrogen ratio (2014, background): “Although a 28 large number of studies on the qCO2 has been published (reviewed by Brookes, 1995; Bastida 29 et al., 2008; Anderson and Domsch, 2010), little is known about how the qCO2 is affected by 30 soil C:N”
Trends in soil microbial communities during secondary succession (2017, background): “Assuming that microbial acquisition and uptake rates of organic C are constant (following previous studies; Anderson, 2003; Anderson and Domsch, 2010; Manzoni et al., 2012; Xu et al., 2014, 2017), the lower R/Cmic in the late successional stages implies more C available for microbial biomass product”
