Feeding habits and multifunctional classification of soil‐associated consumers from protists to vertebrates

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 97, Issue 3, Page 1057-1117, June 2022., 2022
ABSTRACT Soil organisms drive major ecosystem functions by mineralising carbon and releasing nutrients during decomposition processes, which supports plant growth, aboveground biodiversity and, ultimately, human nutrition. Soil ecologists often operate with functional groups to infer the effects of individual taxa on ecosystem functions and services ...

Forest disturbance and arthropods: small‐scale canopy and understory disturbances alter movement of mobile arthropods

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 12, Issue 11, November 2021., 2021
Abstract Dispersal of ground‐dwelling arthropods is understudied in forest ecosystems, which hinders understanding of effects of disturbances on population dynamics. The objective of the study was to quantify movement of ground‐dwelling arthropods in response to a factorial combination of canopy gap formation via girdling and understory vegetation ...
