Non‐native invasive earthworms as agents of change in northern temperate forests
Patrick J. Bohlen,Stefan Scheu,Cindy M. Hale,Mary Ann McLean,Sonja Migge,Peter M. Groffman,Dennis Parkinson +6 more
TL;DR: Soils of north temperate forests harbor a tremendous diversity of microorganisms and invertebrates, whose distribution and abundance can be substantially altered by earthworm invasion, and invasive earthworms can affect understory plant communities, raising concerns over the loss of rare native herbs.
Trophic niche differentiation in soil microarthropods (Oribatida, Acari): evidence from stable isotope ratios ( 15 N/ 14 N)
Katja Schneider,Sonja Migge,Roy A. Norton,Stefan Scheu,Reinhard Langel,A. Reineking,Mark Maraun +6 more
TL;DR: This study for the first time documented strong trophic niche differentiation in decomposer microarthropods and suggests that trophics niche differentiation within taxonomic groups significantly contributes to the high diversity of soil animal taxa.

Trophic niche differentiation in soil microarthropods (Oribatida, Acari): evidence from stable isotope ratios (15N/14N)
Katja Schneider,Sonja Migge,Roy A. Norton,Stefan Scheu,Reinhard Langel,A. Reineking,Mark Maraun +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, stable isotope ratios (15N/14N) in a diverse group of soil microarthropods, oribatid mites, were evaluated to evaluate trophic niche differentiation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adding to 'the enigma of soil animal diversity': fungal feeders and saprophagous soil invertebrates prefer similar food substrates
TL;DR: The finding that decomposer animals and soil fungi co-evolved in a way similar to plants and pollinating animals above the ground is surprising since below-ground systems are much older than above- ground systems, and therefore, there was more time forCo-evolutionary processes.
Journal ArticleDOI
The soil fauna community in pure and mixed stands of beech and spruce of different age: trophic structure and structuring forces
Stefan Scheu,Derk Albers,Joern Alphei,Romuald Buryn,Ute Klages,Sonja Migge,Christian Platner,Joerg-Alfred Salamon +7 more
TL;DR: The study documents that replacement of beech by spruce strongly alters the soil food web and the quality of litter materials and the concentration of microbial biomasstherein appeared to be most important.
