TL;DR: It is demonstrated that primary producers, herbivorous insects and microbial decomposers seem to be particularly important drivers of ecosystem functioning, as shown by the strong and frequent positive associations of their richness or abundance with multiple ecosystem services.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: It is shown that even moderate increases in local land-use intensity (LUI) cause biotic homogenization across microbial, plant and animal groups, both above- and belowground, and that this is largely independent of changes in α-diversity.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the relationship between the diversity of rare and common species and multifunctionality indices derived from 14 ecosystem functions on 150 grasslands across a land-use intensity (LUI) gradient.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Protistan Microbiome of Grassland Soil: Diversity in the Mesoscale.
TL;DR: Environmental DNA from 150 geo-referenced grassland plots representing topographical and land-use ranges typical for Central Europe indicated that OTUs spread over the entire mesoscale were more similar than in the local scale and increased land- use promoted taxa-area separation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Methodological Studies on Estimates of Abundance and Diversity of Heterotrophic Flagellates from the Deep-Sea Floor
Alexandra Schoenle,Alexandra Jeuck,Frank Nitsche,Paul Christiaan Venter,Dennis Prausse,Hartmut Arndt +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a possible combination of several culture-independent and culture-dependent methods available for investigating benthic deep-sea heterotrophic flagellates (HF).
