Journal ArticleDOI
Community composition and abundance of bacterial, archaeal and nitrifying populations in savanna soils on contrasting bedrock material in Kruger National Park, South Africa
Saskia Rughöft,Martina Herrmann,Cassandre Sara Lazar,Simone Cesarz,Shaun R. Levick,Susan E. Trumbore,Kirsten Küsel +6 more
TL;DR: The specific geochemical conditions and particle transport dynamics at the granitic catena were found to affect soil microbial communities through clay and nutrient relocation along the hill slope, causing a shift to different, less diverse bacterial and archaeal communities at the footslope.
Journal ArticleDOI
Global change belowground: impacts of elevated CO2, nitrogen, and summer drought on soil food webs and biodiversity
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the responses of soil food webs and biodiversity to enrichment of atmospheric CO2, elevated N, and summer drought in a long-term grassland study at Cedar Creek, Minnesota, USA (BioCON experiment).
Journal ArticleDOI
Plant diversity effects on soil food webs are stronger than those of elevated CO2 and N deposition in a long-term grassland experiment
Nico Eisenhauer,Tomasz Dobies,Simone Cesarz,Sarah E. Hobbie,Ross J. Meyer,Kally Worm,Peter B. Reich +6 more
TL;DR: Examining the responses of soil food webs to 13-y manipulation of multiple environmental factors that are changing at global scales suggests protecting plant diversity may be of high priority to maintain the biodiversity and functioning of soils in a changing world.
Journal ArticleDOI
Blind spots in global soil biodiversity and ecosystem function research.

Cowan,Tine Grebenc,César Marín,Alberto Orgiazzi,Brajesh K. Singh,Diana H. Wall,Nico Eisenhauer +27 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify and characterize existing environmental gaps in soil taxa and ecosystem functioning data across soil macroecological studies and 17,186 sampling sites across the globe.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plant diversity effects on soil microbial functions and enzymes are stronger than warming in a grassland experiment
Katja Steinauer,Katja Steinauer,G. David Tilman,Peter D. Wragg,Simone Cesarz,Jane Cowles,Karin Pritsch,Peter B. Reich,Peter B. Reich,Wolfgang W. Weisser,Nico Eisenhauer,Nico Eisenhauer +11 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that the fundamental temperature ranges of soil microbial communities may be sufficiently broad to buffer their functioning against changes in temperature and that plant diversity may be a dominant control of soil microbes processes in a changing world.
