Humus forms in terrestrial ecosystems: a framework to biodiversity

TL;DR: The diversity of terrestrial humus forms (mor, moder and mull) can be attributed to the existence of different strategies for the capture and use of resources by ecosystems, in ascending order of biodiversity and bioavailability.
Journal ArticleDOI

Global distribution of earthworm diversity

Helen Phillips, +145 more
- 25 Oct 2019 - 
TL;DR: It was found that local species richness and abundance typically peaked at higher latitudes, displaying patterns opposite to those observed in aboveground organisms, which suggest that climate change may have serious implications for earthworm communities and for the functions they provide.
Journal ArticleDOI

Humus form dynamics during the sylvogenetic cycle in a mountain spruce forest

TL;DR: The life cycle of the spruce ecosystem can nevertheless be impaired by the development of a bilberry heath, with a mor humus form which is detrimental to the germination and growth of spruce seedlings.
Journal Article

Biocenoses of Collembola in atlantic temperate grass-woodland ecosystems

Jean-François Ponge
- 01 Jul 1993 - 
TL;DR: It is apparent that vegetation in itself does not directly influence Collembola but may effect them directly through humus formation, and atmobiotic species in both forest and open sites are affected.
Journal ArticleDOI

Leaf decomposition in two semi-evergreen tropical forests: influence of litter quality

TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of soil properties and litter quality on decomposition rate was studied in two semi-evergreen forests of Guadeloupe, a forest plantation and a secondary forest, located on different soils.
