Scientists’ warning to humanity: microorganisms and climate change (2019, positive): “Microbial respiration may be lower in nutrient-rich forests as plants provide less carbon (for example, as root exudates) to rhizosphere microorganisms 157 .”
The likely impact of elevated [CO2], nitrogen deposition, increased temperature and management on carbon sequestration in temperate and boreal forest ecosystems: a literature review. (2007, background): “Plant metabolism (Högberg et al., 2001; Olsson et al., 2005) and the decomposition of recently produced organic material (Trumbore, 2000; Giardina & Ryan, 2002; Giardina et al.”
Is microbial community composition in boreal forest soils determined by pH, C-to-N ratio, the trees, or all three? (2006, background): “…known to have experienced a signiWcant decline in microbial biomass C (Högberg and Högberg 2002) and an elimination of ECM fungal sporocarp production (Högberg et al. 2001); and with (2) a N fertilization experiment with up to 34 years of continuous annual N loading (Högberg et al. 2006b).”
Allocation and residence time of photosynthetic products in a boreal forest using a low‐level 14C pulse‐chase labeling technique (2007, methodology): “Based on previous tree C allocation studies summarized by Dickson (1991) and more recent experiments by Horwath et al. (1994), Hansen & Beck (1994), the timing of the label application (late summer) was designed to maximize current photosynthate and minimize reserves contributing to root…”
Mycorrhizal fungi as drivers of ecosystem processes in heathland and boreal forest biomes (2004, methodology): “This interdependence was confirmed in the northern Swedish boreal forest in an experiment involving girdling of a stand of Pinus sylvestris (Högberg et al. 2001).”
Root trenching: a useful tool to estimate autotrophic soil respiration? A case study in an Austrian mountain forest (2008, background): “heterotrophic respiration and autotrophic respiration, is important because the activity of soil heterotrophic organisms is proportional to the decomposition of soil organic matter and the autotrophic fraction (respiration of roots, mycorrhiza and associated bacteria) is dependent on the supply of r”
Whole ecosystem metabolic pulses following precipitation events (2008, background): “The dry-time interval before an event may influence the pulse response, with (1) larger pulse responses resulting from the build-up organic matter substrate during the dry-time or (2) smaller pulse responses due to limited available of recent photosynthate, which often contributes to ecosystem respi”
Plant CO2 responses: an issue of definition, time and resource supply. (2006, background): “Using forest tree girdling (Högberg et al., 2001) and stable carbon isotope tracer signals fed into tree canopies (Steinmann et al.”
Carbon and nitrogen cycling immediately following bark beetle outbreaks in southwestern ponderosa pine forests (2008, background): “Support for #1 and #2 come from forest stand girdling experiments (Edwards and Ross-Todd, 1979; Hogberg et al., 2001; Bhupinderpal-Singh et al., 2003; Binkley et al., 2006).”
Annual Q10 of soil respiration reflects plant phenological patterns as well as temperature sensitivity (2004, background): “Roots respiration (growth and maintenance) largely depends on the amount of photosynthates translocated from the aboveground part of the tree (Szaniawski, 1980; Hogberg et al., 2001).”
Using radiocarbon to determine the mycorrhizal status of fungi (2002, background): “Studies showing a close dependence of fruit-body production on current photosynthesis (Hacskaylo, 1965; Last et al., 1979; Lamhamedi et al., 1994; Högberg et al., 2001) also indicate that C in mycorrhizal sporocarps should resemble recent photosynthate in 14C content.”
Variation in forest soil fungal diversity along a latitudinal gradient (2013, background): “The C available to soil microorganisms is ultimately derived from plant photosynthesis, and there are two major ways for fungi to acquire this plant C: aboveground input from litter and belowground input through the roots (Högberg et al. 2001).”
Self-correlation between assimilation and respiration resulting from flux partitioning of eddy-covariance CO2 fluxes. (2009, background): “For example, observational studies often report that GEP and ER are strongly correlated (e.g., Janssens et al., 2001; Hogberg et al., 2001; Reichstein et al., 2007; Stoy et al., 2008; Baldocchi, 2008).”
Response of mycorrhizal, rhizosphere and soil basal respiration to temperature and photosynthesis in a barley field (2007, background): “water status and assimilate supply (Högberg et al., 2001; Davidson and Janssens, 2006; Davidson et al., 2006).”
Soil CO 2 efflux from a podzolic forest soil before and after forest clear-cutting and site preparation (2004, background): “While, according to Hanson et al. (2000), root and rhizosphere respiration may contribute 10%–90% of total soil respiration, most estimates range from 33% to 62% (Ewel et al. 1987b, Bowden et al. 1993, Epron et al. 1999, Högberg et al. 2001, Widén and Majdi 2001).”
Acclimation to temperature and temperature sensitivity of metabolism by ectomycorrhizal fungi (2008, background): “…van Tichelen, 1996; Hobbie et al., 1999; Read & Perez-Moreno, 2003), most are considered to be primarily biotrophic (Smith & Read, 1997; Wallander et al., 2006) as evidenced by the fact that following host tree girdling fungal sporocarp production is essentially eliminated (Högberg et al., 2001).”
