Disturbance Size Can Be Compensated for by Spatial Fragmentation in Soil Microbial Ecosystems
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2019 One major interest in soil systems ecology is to maintain ecosystem functions. As soil is exposed to disturbances of different spatial configurations, identifying disturbance characteristics that still allow for maintaining functions is crucial. In macro-
