D. U. Hooper,F. S. Chapin,John J. Ewel,Andy Hector,P. Inchausti,Sandra Lavorel,John H. Lawton,David M. Lodge,Michel Loreau,Shahid Naeem,Bernhard Schmid,Heikki Setälä,Amy J. Symstad,John Vandermeer,David A. Wardle,David A. Wardle +15 more
TL;DR: Understanding this complexity, while taking strong steps to minimize current losses of species, is necessary for responsible management of Earth's ecosystems and the diverse biota they contain.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ecological linkages between aboveground and belowground biota.
David A. Wardle,David A. Wardle,Richard D. Bardgett,John N. Klironomos,Heikki Setälä,Wim H. van der Putten,Diana H. Wall +6 more
TL;DR: This work shows how aboveground and belowground components are closely interlinked at the community level, reinforced by a greater degree of specificity between plants and soil organisms than has been previously supposed.

TL;DR: Intensive agriculture reduces soil biodiversity, making soil food webs less diverse and composed of smaller bodied organisms, and how changes in soil biodiversity due to land-use intensification may threaten the functioning of soil in agricultural production systems is discussed.

TL;DR: High-resolution spatial maps of the global abundance of soil nematodes and the composition of functional groups show that soil nematode are found in higher abundances in sub-Arctic regions, than in temperate or tropical regions.

Benefits of restoring ecosystem services in urban areas
Thomas Elmqvist,Heikki Setälä,Steven N. Handel,S. van der Ploeg,James Aronson,James Aronson,James Nelson Blignaut,Erik Gómez-Baggethun,David J. Nowak,Jakub Kronenberg,R. de Groot +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the results of an analysis of benefits of ecosystem services in urban areas and show that investing in ecological infrastructure in cities, and the ecological restoration and rehabilitation of ecosystems such as rivers, lakes, and woodlands occurring in urban area, may not only be ecologically and socially desirable, but also quite often, economically advantageous, even based on the most traditional economic approaches.
