Biodiversity effects on soil processes explained by interspecific functional dissimilarity.
D.A. Heemsbergen,D.A. Heemsbergen,D.A. Heemsbergen,Matty P. Berg,Matty P. Berg,Matty P. Berg,Michel Loreau,Michel Loreau,Michel Loreau,J.R. van Hal,J.R. van Hal,J.R. van Hal,Jack H. Faber,Jack H. Faber,Jack H. Faber,H.A. Verhoef,H.A. Verhoef,H.A. Verhoef +17 more
TL;DR: Using soil microcosms, it is shown experimentally that functional dissimilarity among detritivorous species, not species number, drives community compositional effects on leaf litter mass loss and soil respiration, two key soil ecosystem processes.

Journal ArticleDOI
N deposition and elevated CO2 on methane emissions: Differential responses of indirect effects compared to direct effects through litter chemistry feedbacks.
Verónica A. Pancotto,P.M. van Bodegom,J.R. van Hal,R. S. P. van Logtestijn,Peter Blokker,Sylvia Toet,Sylvia Toet,Rien Aerts +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined how CH4 emission responded to changes in litter quality under increased N and CO2, beyond differences in CH4 resulting from changing in litter production.
Journal ArticleDOI
Disentangling thermal acclimation and substrate limitation effects on C and N cycling in peatlands
Noela Carrera,P.M. van Bodegom,J.R. van Hal,Richard S. P. van Logtestijn,M. E. Barreal,Maria J. I. Briones +5 more
TL;DR: The findings suggest that the responses of soil microbial communities to temperature and substrate availability seem to strongly depend on the long-term temperature conditions and its interaction with substrate availability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Growth of pioneer beach plants is strongly driven by buried macroalgal wrack, whereas macroinvertebrates affect plant nutrient dynamics
E.M. van Egmond,P.M. van Bodegom,J.R. van Hal,R. S. P. van Logtestijn,Rob Broekman,Matty P. Berg,Matty P. Berg,Rien Aerts +7 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that the burial of wrack by a thin layer of sand is a crucial driver of beach pioneer plant growth, which is most likely due to an increase in moisture availability and supports the importance of management practices that allow deposited wrack to remain and be buried on the sandy beach for a long period of time, which will have positive effects on beach pioneer plants growth and possibly embryo dune formation.
