Intensive agriculture reduces soil biodiversity across Europe (2015, background): “It has been argued that functional redundancy in soil communities can be high, due to generalized feeding habits among most soil biota (Set€al€a et al., 2005).”
Soil health in agricultural systems (2008, background): “Many studies demonstrate high levels of functional redundancy in soil communities (e.g. Setälä et al. (2005) for review).”
Soil biodiversity and carbon cycling: a review and synthesis of studies examining diversity–function relationships (2011, background): “Although the role of competition in soil biotic communities is thought to be relatively weak (Bardgett et al., 2005; Setälä et al., 2005; Wardle, 2006; Cole et al., 2008), increased species richness is likely to increase inter-specific competition, and in some cases this may outweigh any positive ef”
