Soil fauna and plant litter decomposition in tropical and subalpine forests

TL;DR: In this article, the authors quantified decomposition rates and N fluxes in control and fauna-excluded treatments with litterbags containing relatively high-quality (Quercus gambehii) and low quality (Cecropia scheberiana) litter in sites representing large differ- ences in climate as measured by AET (actual evapotranspiration).

Early stage litter decomposition across biomes

Ika Djukic, +309 more
TL;DR: In this article, the potential litter decomposition was investigated by using standardized substrates (Rooibos and Green tea) for comparison of litter mass loss at 336 sites (ranging from

Invasion of exotic earthworms into ecosystems inhabited by native earthworms

TL;DR: Exotic earthworms do invade ecosystems inhabited by indigenous earthworms, even in the absence of obvious disturbance, and resistance to exotic earthworm invasions, if it occurs, may be more a function of physical and chemical characteristics of a habitat than of biological interactions between native and exotic earthworms.

Invasion of exotic earthworms into ecosystems inhabited by native earthworms

TL;DR: The most conspicuous biological inva- sions in terrestrial ecosystems have been by exotic plants, insects and vertebrates. as mentioned in this paper explored the idea that indigenous earthworm fauna and/or characteristics of their characteristics are common in ecosystems inhabited by native earthworms, especially where soils are undisturbed.
