Modeling Soil Processes: Review, Key Challenges, and New Perspectives (2016, methodology): “Recently, soil ecosystem models have been developed that allow modeling of soil biodiversity and its loss, as well as the role of microbes and soil fauna in soil nutrient transfer processes (Hunt and Wall, 2002).”
Deciphering the associations between soil microbial diversity and ecosystem multifunctionality driven by long‐term fertilization management (2018, background): “An increase in soil biodiversity resulted in increased resilience of soil multifunctionality to changes in environmental conditions (Hunt & Wall, 2002; Strickland et al., 2009).”
Biological crusts as a model system for examining the biodiversity–ecosystem function relationship in soils (2010, background): “Evidence of a large degree of redundancy and resiliency of function was also observed in a modeling-based study, in which broad functional groups of soil organisms were removed from the soil ecosystem (Hunt and Wall, 2002), and in a reconstruction of a soil community wherein each treatment constitut”
Decline in a dominant invertebrate species contributes to altered carbon cycling in a low‐diversity soil ecosystem (2008, methodology): “…the amount of 13C in living nematodes from pretreatment, tracer-amended, and control soils and calculated the total C flux through the nematode biomass using assimilation parameters from a food web model (Hunt et al., 1987; Hunt & Wall, 2002) and related this to observed rates of soil respiration.”
Large-scale patterns of distribution and diversity of terrestrial nematodes (2017, background): “Soil nematodes have been determined to play an important role in improving the physical properties of the soil, in promoting the transformation of carbon and nitrogen, and in maintaining the health of the ecosystem by participating in the soil food web (Sohlenius, 1980; Hunt and Wall, 2002).”
Biodiversity and ecosystem function in soil (2005, methodology): “This was achieved by adapting the well known and widely applied Hunt model (Hunt et al. 1987; Berg et al. 2001; Hunt & Wall 2002) to the Sourhope food web.”
Testing the functional significance of microbial community composition. (2009, background): “Key words: bacteria; carbon mineralization; community composition; decomposition; functional diversity; functional equivalence; functional redundancy; fungi; leaf litter; microorganisms.”
Soil networks become more connected and take up more carbon as nature restoration progresses (2017, unknown): “There is less evidence of an increase of soil biodiversity 13 , and evidence of a relationship between soil biodiversity and ecosystem functioning is mixed, at best 2,14-16 .”
