TL;DR: Cette revue place au centre des interactions entre les plantes, les animaux et les microorganismes du sol, les invertebres abondants et de grande taille qui ingerent des particules organiques and minerales produisant ainsi des structures durables.

TL;DR: For example, the authors of the paper as discussed by the authors presented the results of a study at the Netherlands Institute of Terrestrial Ecology (ZG Heteren) and the University of Utrecht (UTHeteren).

TL;DR: Intensive agriculture reduces soil biodiversity, making soil food webs less diverse and composed of smaller bodied organisms, and how changes in soil biodiversity due to land-use intensification may threaten the functioning of soil in agricultural production systems is discussed.

TL;DR: A new approach to assessing the implications of habitat loss for loss of ecosystem services by examining how the provision of different ecosystem services is dominated by species from different trophic levels is described and a mathematical model is developed that illustrates how declines in habitat quality and quantity lead to sequential losses oftrophic diversity.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors quantified, across four countries of contrasting climatic and soil conditions in Europe, how differences in soil food web composition resulting from land use systems (intensive wheat rotation, extensive rotation, and permanent grassland) influence the functioning of soils and the ecosystem services that they deliver.
