Land use intensification affects soil microbial populations, functional diversity and related suppressiveness of cucumber Fusarium wilt in China’s Yangtze River Delta (2008, background): “Studies have also documented the effects of land use change on soil microbial diversity (Lin et al. 2004; Kaye et al. 2005; Yao et al. 2006a) and its function (Carney et al. 2004; Zhang et al. 2007).”
Higher rates of nitrogen fertilization decrease soil enzyme activities, microbial functional diversity and nitrification capacity in a Chinese polytunnel greenhouse vegetable land (2010, background): “Land use change has also impacts on soil microbial diversity and enzyme activity (Carney et al. 2004; Lin et al. 2004; Kaye et al. 2005; Zhang et al. 2007; Shen et al. 2008).”
Plant Communities, Soil Microorganisms, and Soil Carbon Cycling: Does Altering the World Belowground Matter to Ecosystem Functioning? (2005, background): “Our finding that plant diversity had a significant effect on microbial community composition (Figure 1) corroborates another study done at this site that examined how microbial community composition shifted along a larger set of plant diversity plots and between wet and dry seasons ( Carney 2003 ).”
