The Automated Root Exudate System (ARES): a method to apply solutes at regular intervals to soils in the field. [PDF]
, 2017 Root exudation is a key component of nutrient and carbon dynamics in terrestrial ecosystems. Exudation rates vary widely by plant species and environmental conditions, but our understanding of how root exudates affect soil functioning is incomplete, in ...

A model of nitrous oxide evolution from soil driven by rainfall events: 1. Model structure and sensitivity [PDF]
, 1992 This paper describes a rain-event driven, process-oriented simulation model, DNDC, for the evolution of nitrous oxide (N2O), carbon dioxide (CO2), and dinitrogen (N2) from agricultural soils.

Quantifying microbial utilization of petroleum hydrocarbons in salt-marsh sediments using the ^(13)C content of bacterial rRNA [PDF]
, 2007 Natural remediation of oil spills is catalyzed by complex microbial consortia. Here we take a whole-community approach to investigate bacterial incorporation of petroleum hydrocarbons from a simulated oil spill.

Global Climate Change Effects on Soil Microbial Biomass Stoichiometry in Alpine Ecosystems
Land, 2022 Alpine ecosystems are sensitive to global climate change-factors, which directly or indirectly affect the soil microbial biomass stoichiometry. In this paper, we have compared the soil microbial biomass stoichiometry ratios of alpine ecosystems using the

Seasonal changes in planktonic bacterivory rates under the ice-covered coastal Arctic Ocean [PDF]
, 2008 Bacterivory was determined in surface waters of Franklin Bay, western Arctic, over a seasonal ice-covered period (winter-spring, 2003-2004). The objectives were to obtain information on the functioning of the microbial food web under the ice, during ...

Comparing models of microbial–substrate interactions and their response to warming [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2016 Recent developments in modelling soil organic carbon decomposition include the explicit incorporation of enzyme and microbial dynamics. A characteristic of these models is a positive feedback between substrate and consumers, which is absent in ...
