Effects of wet grassland abandonment on invertebrate communities [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Wet grasslands are biodiverse wetlands managed for agricultural production, but many are threatened by land abandonment. Effects of abandonment on vegetation are known but few studies have focussed on other ecosystem components, especially invertebrates.

Underground Signals: The Ecological Power of Root Volatiles. [PDF]

Adv Sci (Weinh)
Root volatiles mediate rhizosphere chemical communication, shaping interactions among plants, microbes, herbivores, and natural enemies. Their production, transport, and perception underpin ecological adaptation, multitrophic interactions, and plant resilience, offering opportunities for sustainable crop protection, resilient agroecosystems, and ...

Grazing Effects of Soil Fauna on White-Rot Fungi: Biomass, Enzyme Production and Litter Decomposition Ability

Journal of Fungi, 2022
Soil invertebrates and microorganisms are two major drivers of litter decomposition. Even though the importance of invertebrates and microorganisms in biogeochemical soil cycles and soil food webs has been studied, the effects of invertebrates on fungi ...

Effects of Residue Management on Decomposition in Irrigated Rice Fields Are Not Related to Changes in the Decomposer Community. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Decomposers provide an essential ecosystem service that contributes to sustainable production in rice ecosystems by driving the release of nutrients from organic crop residues.

Rocks, lichens, and woody litter influenced the soil invertebrate density in upland tundra heath.

PLoS ONE, 2023
Soil invertebrates are an integral part of Arctic ecosystems through their roles in the breakdown of litter, soil formation, and nutrient cycling. However, studies examining soil invertebrates in the Arctic are limited and our understanding of the ...

The impact of invertebrate decomposers on plants and soil [PDF]

New Phytologist, 2021
SummarySoil invertebrates make significant contributions to the recycling of dead plant material across the globe. However, studies focussed on the consequences of decomposition for plant communities largely ignore soil fauna across all ecosystems, because microbes are often considered the primary agents of decay.

Impacts of field margin orientation on populations of soil-dwelling invertebrates in relation to the direction and intensity of field traffic

, 2022
Sown field margins are a central part of agri-environmental schemes aiming to improve biodiversity and ecosystem services in agricultural landscapes. Despite the knowledge that key services are delivered by belowground biodiversity, the impacts of field ...

Gammaproteobacteria, a core taxon in the guts of soil fauna, are potential responders to environmental concentrations of soil pollutants

Microbiome, 2021
Background The ubiquitous gut microbiotas acquired from the environment contribute to host health. The gut microbiotas of soil invertebrates are gradually assembled from the microecological region of the soil ecosystem which they inhabit, but little is ...
