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

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 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 ...

Differences in top-soil features between beech-mixture and Norway spruce forests of the Šumava Mts.
Top-soil samples were taken from four mountain forest ecosystems in the Bohemian Forest to compare the processes in European beech-mixture (Fs) and Norway spruce (Pa) dominating ecosystems.

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