Distribution pattern and driving factors of mite communities in karst cave ecosystems

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2024.
Mites are abundant invertebrates in underground ecosystems, influenced by resource and environmental diversity, but the diversity of cave mites remains unclear. Through a survey of soil mites in three typical areas of light intensity in caves and their adjacent environments outside the caves, we found that although there are significant differences in ...

Restoring stone and dominant grass species cover in a Mediterranean grassland: 20‐year effects on soil, vegetation, and arthropod communities

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, Volume 32, Issue 5, July 2024.
Long‐term studies are needed to monitor recovery following restoration, as it may take decades or even centuries, particularly in the case of Mediterranean dry grasslands, for communities to reach their former equilibrium before the degradation occurred. A multi‐component approach is also needed to evaluate restoration success and better understand the

Rewilding soil and litter invertebrates and fungi increases decomposition rates and alters detritivore communities

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2024.
Rewilding entire communities of invertebrates and fungi during ecological restoration increased detritivore abundances. We found this had cascading effects that enhanced the efficiency of decomposition in revegetated farmland sites. Abstract Habitat degradation and associated reductions in ecosystem functions can be reversed by reintroducing or ...

Legacy effects of experimental environmental change on soil micro‐arthropod communities

open access: yesEcosphere, 2020
Global change experiments such as experimental warming and nutrient addition strongly affect the structure and functioning of high latitude and altitude ecosystems. However, it is often unknown to what extend such effects are permanent or whether changes
