Soil quality – A critical review
Else K. Bünemann,Giulia Bongiorno,Giulia Bongiorno,Zhanguo Bai,Rachel Creamer,Gerlinde B. De Deyn,Ron G.M. de Goede,Luuk Fleskens,Violette Geissen,Thomas W. Kuyper,Paul Mäder,Mirjam M. Pulleman,Mirjam M. Pulleman,Wijnand Sukkel,Jan Willem van Groenigen,Lijbert Brussaard +15 more
TL;DR: It is found that explicit evaluation of soil quality with respect to specific soil threats, soil functions and ecosystem services has rarely been implemented, and few approaches providing clear interpretation schemes of measured indicator values limits their adoption by land managers as well as policy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plant functional traits and soil carbon sequestration in contrasting biomes
TL;DR: It is proposed that a trait-based approach will help to develop strategies to preserve and promote carbon sequestration under global changes, and how the composition of key plant traits and soil biota related to carbon input, release and storage prevail in different biomes across the globe.
Journal ArticleDOI
Soil invertebrate fauna enhances grassland succession and diversity
Gerlinde B. De Deyn,Ciska E. Raaijmakers,H. Rik Zoomer,Matty P. Berg,Peter C. de Ruiter,Herman A. Verhoef,T. Martijn Bezemer,Wim H. van der Putten +7 more
TL;DR: Soil fauna from a series of secondary grassland succession stages selectively suppress early successional dominant plant species, thereby enhancing the relative abundance of subordinate species and also that of species from later succession stages.
Journal ArticleDOI
Earthworms increase plant production: a meta- analysis
Jan Willem van Groenigen,Ingrid M. Lubbers,Hannah M. J. Vos,George G. Brown,Gerlinde B. De Deyn,Kees Jan van Groenigen +5 more
TL;DR: It is shown, using meta-analysis, that on average earthworm presence in agroecosystems leads to a 25% increase in crop yield and a 23% increased in aboveground biomass and this suggests that earthworms stimulate plant growth predominantly through releasing nitrogen locked away in residue and soil organic matter.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plant species identity and diversity effects on different trophic levels of nematodes in the soil food web
Gerlinde B. De Deyn,Ciska E. Raaijmakers,Jasper van Ruijven,Frank Berendse,Wim H. van der Putten +4 more
TL;DR: The nematode diversity varied more between the different plant species than between different levels of plant species diversity, so that plant identity is more important than plant diversity.
