Different patterns, but no temporal decline in temperate forest soil meso- and macrofauna over the last decade. [PDF]

Ecology
Abstract Global biodiversity loss is threatening ecosystem functioning and human well‐being. Arthropods above the ground have substantially decreased in abundance and diversity during the last 15–20 years. However, changes in belowground biodiversity, particularly in forests, received little attention.

Biodiversity in mountain soils above the treeline. [PDF]

Biol Rev Camb Philos Soc
ABSTRACT Biological diversity in mountain ecosystems has been increasingly studied over the last decade. This is also the case for mountain soils, but no study to date has provided an overall synthesis of the current state of knowledge. Here we fill this gap with a first global analysis of published research on cryptogams, microorganisms, and fauna in ...

The Impact of Root-Derived Resources on Forest Soil Invertebrates Depends on Body Size and Trophic Position

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2021
Forest soil food webs have been assumed to be fueled substantially by root-derived resources. However, until today the flux of root-derived resources into soil animals has been investigated virtually exclusively using isotope labeling experiments ...
