Variations in microbial community composition through two soil depth profiles (2003, background): “Previous work has shown that variability in soil moisture can influence the composition of soil bacterial and fungal communities (Schimel et al., 1999; Wilkinson et al., 2002).”
Temporal dynamics of microbial communities on decomposing leaf litter of 10 plant species in relation to decomposition rate (2012, methodology): “Phospholipids were extracted from litter using the methods of Wilkinson et al. (2002).”
Plant litter diversity increases microbial abundance, fungal diversity, and carbon and nitrogen cycling in a Mediterranean shrubland (2017, background): “…on soil bacterial and fungal diversities 556 in Mediterranean ecosystems even when the amount of rainfall excluded was larger than in our 557 study (Wilkinson et al., 2002; Berard et al., 2011; Yuste et al., 2011; Sherman et al., 2012; 558 Yuste et al., 2014; Sherman et al., 2014), suggesting that…”
Influence of Drying–Rewetting Frequency on Soil Bacterial Community Structure (2002, background): “These results are consistent with other studies which show that moisture regime can influence the structure of microbial communities, but the differences between litter or soil types are often greater in magnitude than any moisture effects [29, 32, 52].”
Evaluation of methods to estimate production, biomass and turnover of ectomycorrhizal mycelium in forests soils : A review (2013, methodology): “Homogenization of soil samples using a ball mill to a particle size less than 10 mm prior to analysis has been recommended to achieve themost reliable results (Wilkinson et al., 2002).”
