Arthropod abundances track soil fertility across a lowland tropical forest landscape
Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 94, Issue 7, Page 1383-1397, July 2025.This study reveals strong, diverse associations between soil phosphorus and the abundances of understorey arthropods across a lowland tropical forest landscape. These patterns were not paralleled in an adjacent site‐level fertilisation experiment, raising the interesting possibility that arthropod–phosphorus associations could be mediated by spatial ...
