Biological nitrogen fixation, diversity and community structure of diazotrophs in two mosses in 25 temperate forests

C Groß, S Hossen, S Dittrich, KH Knorr… - Environmental …, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
Many moss species are associated with nitrogen (N)‐fixing bacteria (diazotrophs) that
support the N supply of mosses. Our knowledge relates primarily to pristine ecosystems with …

Active soil microbial composition and proliferation are directly affected by the presence of biocides from building materials

F Reiß, N Kiefer, W Purahong, W Borken… - Science of the Total …, 2024 - Elsevier
Combinations of biocides are commonly added to building materials to prevent microbial
growth and thereby cause degradation of the façades. These biocides reach the …

Biological nitrogen fixation and nifH gene abundance in deadwood of 13 different tree species

C Groß, S Hossen, H Hartmann, M Noll, W Borken - Biogeochemistry, 2022 - Springer
Deadwood is an extremely nitrogen (N) poor plant litter whose decomposition may rely on

Extrinsic rather than intrinsic factors determine microbial colonization of deadwood

J Moll, C Bässler, F Buscot, B Hoppe… - Soil Biology and …, 2024 - Elsevier
Deadwood decomposition is primarily attributed to wood-colonizing fungi and bacteria,
driven mainly by intrinsic (eg tree species identity) rather than by extrinsic factors. A recent …

Facade eluates affect active and total soil microbiome

F Reiß, N Kiefer, P Reiß, S Kalkhof, M Noll - Environmental Pollution, 2025 - Elsevier
The application of biocides in building materials has become a prevalent practice to mitigate
the growth of microorganisms such as algae, fungi, and bacteria on the façades. These can …

Feels Like Home: A Biobased and Biodegradable Plastic Offers a Novel Habitat for Diverse Plant Pathogenic Fungi in Temperate Forest Ecosystems

P Nonthijun, B Tanunchai, SA Schroeter… - Microbial Ecology, 2024 - Springer
Poly (butylene succinate-co-adipate)(PBSA), a biodegradable plastic, is significantly
colonized and degraded by soil microbes under natural field conditions, especially by fungal …

Tree species-specific wood traits control diazotrophic community composition in deadwood

S Hossen, C Groß, D Stapf, W Borken, M Noll - International …, 2024 - Elsevier
Deadwood is a nitrogen (N) poor environment and its decomposition rate is limited by low N
bioavailability. Diazotrophs reduce such N limitations as they are capable of fixing N 2 which …
