Plant and mycorrhizal regulation of rhizodeposition. (2004, background): “These low concentrations suggest that strong competition for low molecular weight DON exists in the rhizosphere (Owen & Jones, 2001; Bardgett et al., 2003).”
Glucose uptake by maize roots and its transformation in the rhizosphere (2006, result): “A similar result has also been reported for amino acids in the rhizosphere (Owen and Jones, 2001; Bardgett et al., 2003).”
Direct and indirect effects of climate change on soil microbial and soil microbial‐plant interactions: What lies ahead? (2015, background): “…in microbial community composition through the soil profile can affect microbial interactions with plant roots (Hoeksema et al. 2010, Johnson et al. 2015), such as competition for nitrogen (Hodge et al. 2000, v www.esajournals.org 9 August 2015 v Volume 6(8) v Article 130 Bardgett et al. 2003).”
Vertebrate herbivores and ecosystem control: cascading effects of faeces on tundra ecosystems (2004, background): “As shown in 15N tracer experiments, such microbial sequestration of N is likely to act as a sizeable and long-term sink for N (Nadelhoffer et al. 1999), although in some ecosystems immobilisation is immediate but short-term (Kaye and Hart 1997, Zogg et al. 2000, Bardgett et al. 2003).”
Do plant species with different growth strategies vary in their ability to compete with soil microbes for chemical forms of nitrogen (2008, methodology): “This concentration was based on average concentrations of N from free amino acids typically found in these grassland soils (Streeter et al., 2000; Bardgett et al., 2003; Weigelt et al., 2005; Harrison et al., 2007).”
Defoliation and patchy nutrient return drive grazing effects on plant and soil properties in a dairy cow pasture (2009, background): “Soil microbes are efficient competitors for nutrients (Kaye and Hart 1997) and they can successfully acquire the majority of available N in grassland ecosystems (Bardgett et al. 2003).”
Plant functional traits and soil carbon sequestration in contrasting biomes. (2008, positive): “In unproductive soils, plants strongly compete with soil microbes for mineral nutrients (Bardgett et al. 2003), and this interaction might promote plant species with traits that provide higher nutrient competitivity, for example by utilizing organic nutrients (Schimel & Bennett 2004).”
Influence of microbial activity on plant–microbial competition for organic and inorganic nitrogen (2006, background): “…et al. 2000; Weigelt et al. 2005) and further supports the notion that plant consumption of intact amino acids in grassland ecosystems is largely limited by the efficient microbial consumption of organic N molecules before they reach plant roots (Bardgett et al. 2003; Owen and Jones, 2001).”
Nitrogen fixation in legumes and actinorhizal plants in natural ecosystems: values obtained using 15N natural abundance (2011, background): “lar plants (Raven et al. 1992; Bardgett et al. 2003; Andrews et al. 2004, 2005, 2009b; Lambers et al. 2008).”
The unseen majority: soil microbes as drivers of plant diversity and productivity in terrestrial ecosystems. (2008, background): “Immobilization of N by microbes, for example, has been shown to act as a short-term sink for N in several terrestrial ecosystems (Zogg et al. 2000; Bardgett et al. 2003), thereby potentially limiting the export of N to adjacent ecosystems and groundwater (Brooks et al. 1998).”
Significance of organic nitrogen acquisition for dominant plant species in an alpine meadow on the Tibet plateau, China (2006, background): “Several studies suggest strong competition between roots and soil microbes for inorganic N as well as for organic N (Kaye and Hart 1997; Bardgett et al. 2003), especially in alpine meadows, where mineralization rates are usually slow due to low temperatures.”
