Intensive agriculture reduces soil biodiversity across Europe [PDF]
Global Change Biology, 2014 AbstractSoil biodiversity plays a key role in regulating the processes that underpin the delivery of ecosystem goods and services in terrestrial ecosystems. Agricultural intensification is known to change the diversity of individual groups of soil biota, but less is known about how intensification affects biodiversity of the soil food web as a whole ...
