Tree species and soil depth affect microbial necromass contribution to soil organic matter in temperate forest soils, surpassing the impact of microbial and faunal community composition

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 9, Page 2219-2233, September 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Forest management and climate change inevitably lead to shifts in the composition of temperate forest stands from coniferous to deciduous species, potentially affecting the crucial role of forest soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks in mitigating climate change.

Investigating soil mesofauna cryptic diversity: Current challenges and perspectives

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, Page 1587-1598, August 2025.
Abstract Cryptic species lacking distinct morphological features are widespread among soil fauna, including such functionally significant groups as springtails, mites and enchytraeids. Their presence, diversity and biomass may impact ecosystem services provided by belowground ecosystems.
