Journal ArticleDOI
Soil fauna modifies the recalcitrance-persistence relationship of soil carbon pools
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of four major faunal groups on carbon pools of differing recalcitrance were studied in an extensive microcosm experiment, where six microcosms were inoculated with nematodes, enchytraeids, collembola, and lumbricids in three densities, including combinations of groups.
Journal ArticleDOI
Land-use effects on the functional distinctness of arthropod communities
TL;DR: The study shows that for some arthropod groups functional distinctness is threatened by intensification and conversion from less to more frequently disturbed land-uses, and these relationships depend on the studied taxa and land-use type.
Journal ArticleDOI
Land-use type and intensity differentially filter traits in above- and below-ground arthropod communities

TL;DR: The results suggest that gradients in management intensity across land-use types will not generally reduce trait diversity in multiple taxa, but will exert strong trait filtering within individual taxa.
Journal ArticleDOI
Carabid communities in the spatio-temporal mosaic of a rural landscape
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of landscape dynamics on carabid communities was investigated using a chronosequence of managed grassland sites, and a total of 52 carabids species were found.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effects of different tillage practices on soil mites, with particular reference to Oribatida
Astrid Hülsmann,Volkmar Wolters +1 more
TL;DR: No species-specific response patterns were detected among oribatid mites, but the adverse effects of soil cultivation on microphytophagous species were particularly strong, with no significant differences between tillage treatments.
