Impact of Collembola on the Winter Wheat Growth in Soil Infected by Soil-Borne Pathogenic Fungi

open access: yesAgronomy, 2022
The activity of some soil organisms can significantly influence the growth of plants. One of the more common are Collembola, which play an important role in suppressing soil-borne pathogens such as Fusarium spp.

Fungal Traits Important for Soil Aggregation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Soil structure, the complex arrangement of soil into aggregates and pore spaces, is a key feature of soils and soil biota. Among them, filamentous saprobic fungi have well-documented effects on soil aggregation. However, it is unclear what properties, or

Legacy effects of experimental environmental change on soil micro‐arthropod communities

open access: yesEcosphere, 2020
Global change experiments such as experimental warming and nutrient addition strongly affect the structure and functioning of high latitude and altitude ecosystems. However, it is often unknown to what extend such effects are permanent or whether changes

Nutrient allocations and metabolism in two collembolans with contrasting reproduction and growth strategies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Physiological mechanisms such as allocation and release of nutrients are keys to understanding an animal\u27s adaptation to a particular habitat. This study investigated how two detrivores with contrasting life‐history traits allocated carbon (C) and ...

Herbivory increases diversification across insect clades. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Insects contain more than half of all living species, but the causes of their remarkable diversity remain poorly understood. Many authors have suggested that herbivory has accelerated diversification in many insect clades. However, others have questioned
