1. Ultra-high-throughput microbial community analysis on the Illumina HiSeq and MiSeq platformsThe ISME Journal · 2012 · 9,303 citations

   DNA sequencing continues to decrease in cost with the Illumina HiSeq2000 generating up to 600 Gb of paired-end 100 base reads in a ten-day run. Here we present a protocol for community amplicon sequencing on the HiSeq2000 and MiSeq Illumina…

2. Soil bacterial and fungal communities across a pH gradient in an arable soilThe ISME Journal · 2010 · 4,320 citations

   Soils collected across a long-term liming experiment (pH 4.0-8.3), in which variation in factors other than pH have been minimized, were used to investigate the direct influence of pH on the abundance and composition of the two major soil microbial…

3. Pyrosequencing-Based Assessment of Soil pH as a Predictor of Soil Bacterial Community Structure at the Continental ScaleApplied and Environmental Microbiology · 2009 · 4,145 citations

   Soils harbor enormously diverse bacterial populations, and soil bacterial communities can vary greatly in composition across space. However, our understanding of the specific changes in soil bacterial community structure that occur across larger spatial scales is limited because most previous…

4. Stoichiometry of soil enzyme activity at global scaleEcology Letters · 2008 · 2,627 citations

   Extracellular enzymes are the proximate agents of organic matter decomposition and measures of these activities can be used as indicators of microbial nutrient demand. We conducted a global-scale meta-analysis of the seven-most widely measured soil enzyme activities, using data from…
