Journal ArticleDOI
Ecosystem services—current challenges and opportunities for ecological research
Klaus Birkhofer,Eva Diehl,Jesper Andersson,Johan Ekroos,Andrea Früh-Müller,Franziska Machnikowski,Viktoria Mader,Lovisa Nilsson,Keiko Sasaki,Maj Rundlöf,Volkmar Wolters,Henrik G. Smith +11 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify major challenges and opportunities for ecologists involved in empirical or modeling ecosystem service research and suggest basing the assessment of ecosystem services on the utilization of sets of indicators covering aspects of service-providing units, ecosystem management and landscape modification.
Journal ArticleDOI
C and N mineralisation in the decomposer food webs of a European forest transect
TL;DR: The combined effects of climate and nutrient inputs to ecosys-tems and the subsequent changes in the structure and functioning of the systems were revealed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of fragmentation and bioturbation on the decomposition of 14C-labelled beech leaf litter
Stefan Scheu,Volkmar Wolters +1 more
TL;DR: The stabilization of organic matter in the mineral soil horizon caused by the burrowing activity of soil-dwelling earthworms is considered to be a key process for the formation of woodland mull soils.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microbial biomass phosphorus in soils of beech ( Fagus sylvatica L.) forests
TL;DR: In this article, the microbial biomass P was estimated by the fumigation extraction method, measuring the increase in NaHCO3-extractable phosphate, and the size of the microbial P pool varied between 17.7 and 174.3 μg P g-1 soil.

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.
