Soils as agents of selection: feedbacks between plants and soils alter seedling survival and performance (2010, background): “Phospholipid fatty acids are distinctive to major taxonomic groups (e.g., gram positive and gram negative bacteria, fungi; White et al. 1979; Zelles 1999; Leckie 2005) and are valuable for differentiating treatment patterns for broad microbial community assessment (Ramsey et al.”
Soil microbial communities resistant to changes in plant functional group composition (2011, methodology): “Membrane lipids were extracted from about 2 g of freezedried soil, and converted to fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) by methylation (Kirk et al., 2004; Leckie, 2005).”
Laccases: toward disentangling their diversity and functions in relation to soil organic matter cycling (2010, background): “From an ecological point of view, this underlines the importance to link ecosystem processes to the biotic, especially microbial diversity and their enzyme activity (Leckie 2005; Nannipieri et al. 2003; Zak et al. 2006).”
Soil health in agricultural systems (2008, background): “The status of the soil biota may be a surrogate measure, notwithstanding there is a panoply of ways of measuring soil community attributes (Kirk et al. 2004; Leckie 2005).”
