Intensive agriculture reduces soil biodiversity across Europe (2015, background): “performs, and in the absence of functionally similar species in the community, one species may have a crucial role in affecting a particular ecosystem process (Wardle, 1999) especially in soil ecosystems with low diversity (Barrett et al., 2008).”
Soil biodiversity and carbon cycling: a review and synthesis of studies examining diversity–function relationships (2011, background): “, 2002), indicating the potential for changes in C cycling as a result of altered soil biotic community structure (Barrett et al., 2008).”
Soil “Ecosystem” Services and Natural Capital: Critical Appraisal of Research on Uncertain Ground (2016, background): “While references are frequently made in the literature to “soil ecosystems” (Fenton, 1947; Nahmani et al., 2003; Barrett et al., 2008), some authors (di Castri, 1970) argue that the assumptions of stability, closedness, and homogeneity traditionally associated with ecosystems does not seem apt at…”
Impacts of Europe's changing climate – 2008 indicator based assessment (2009, background): “ecosystems that are widespread throughout the world can contribute to significant changes in carbon cycle and hence carbon pools and fluxes through the modification of ecosystem functioning (Ayres et al., 2008; Barrett et al., 2008; Poage et al., 2008).”
