Zonal Soil Type Determines Soil Microbial Responses to Maize Cropping and Fertilization [PDF]
mSystems, 2016 Soil types heavily influence ecological dynamics. It remains controversial to what extent soil types shape microbial responses to land management changes, largely due to lack of in-depth comparison across various soil types.

Changes in soil microbial community structure influenced by agricultural management practices in a mediterranean agro-ecosystem. [PDF]
, 2013 Agricultural practices have proven to be unsuitable in many cases, causing considerable reductions in soil quality. Land management practices can provide solutions to this problem and contribute to get a sustainable agriculture model.

Plant chemical variation mediates soil bacterial community composition
Scientific Reports, 2023 An important challenge in the study of ecosystem function is resolving how plant antiherbivore chemical defence expression may influence plant-associated microbes, and nutrient release.

Does functional soil microbial diversity contribute to explain within-site plant beta-diversity in an alpine grassland and a dehesa meadow in Spain? [PDF]
, 2017 Questions: Once that the effects of hydrological and chemical soil properties have been accounted for, does soil microbial diversity contribute to explain change in plant community structure (i.e. within-site beta-diversity)?

Impact of (±)-catechin on soil microbial communities [PDF]
Communicative & Integrative Biology, 2009 Catechin is a highly studied but controversial allelochemical reported as a component of the root exudates of Centaurea maculosa. Initial reports of high and consistent exudation rates and soil concentrations have been shown to be highly inaccurate, but the chemical has been found in root exudates at and much less frequently in soil but sporadically at

A coexisting fungal-bacterial community stabilizes soil decomposition activity in a microcosm experiment. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 How diversity influences the stability of a community function is a major question in ecology. However, only limited empirical investigations of the diversity-stability relationship in soil microbial communities have been undertaken, despite the ...

Extractable nitrogen and microbial community structure respond to grassland restoration regardless of historical context and soil composition. [PDF]
, 2015 Grasslands have a long history of invasion by exotic annuals, which may alter microbial communities and nutrient cycling through changes in litter quality and biomass turnover rates.
