Journal ArticleDOI
Insights into the resistance and resilience of the soil microbial community
TL;DR: It is suggested that resistance and resilience are governed by soil physico-chemical structure through its effect on microbial community composition and physiology, but that there is no general response to disturbance because stability is particular to the disturbance and soil history.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ecosystem response of pasture soil communities to fumigation-induced microbial diversity reductions: an examination of the biodiversity-ecosystem function relationship
Bryan S. Griffiths,Karl Ritz,Richard D. Bardgett,Roger Cook,Soren Christensen,Flemming Ekelund,Søren J. Sørensen,Erland Bååth,Jaap Bloem,P.C. de Ruiter,Jan Dolfing,B. Nicolardot +11 more
TL;DR: Although fumigation reduced soil microbial biodiversity, there was evidence to suggest that it selected for organisms with particular physiological characteristics, and specific functional parameters may be a more sensitive indicator of environmental change than general parameters.
Journal ArticleDOI
Soil nematode abundance and functional group composition at a global scale

TL;DR: High-resolution spatial maps of the global abundance of soil nematodes and the composition of functional groups show that soil nematode are found in higher abundances in sub-Arctic regions, than in temperate or tropical regions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Soil microbial community structure: Effects of substrate loading rates
TL;DR: An experiment where a synthetic root exudate was applied continuously to a soil held at constant water potential indicated that microbial community structure changed consistently as substrate loading increased, and that fungi dominated over bacteria at high substrate loading rates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessing shifts in microbial community structure across a range of grasslands of differing management intensity using CLPP, PLFA and community DNA techniques
Susan J. Grayston,Colin Campbell,Richard D. Bardgett,J. L. Mawdsley,C. D. Clegg,Karl Ritz,Bryan S. Griffiths,John S. Rodwell,S. J. Edwards,William J. Davies,D. J. Elston,Peter Millard +11 more
TL;DR: Correlation analysis of the CVA data for each microbial analysis showed a small, but significant, level of matching between the CLPP and PLFA data suggesting these two analyses may be reporting on similar members of the microbial community.
