Soil food webs and carbon dynamics in response to conservation tillage in California (2007, background): “Food web dynamics are complex and refl ect the integration of many factors, including plant community composition (Viketoft et al., 2005), plant succession or crop sequence (Gunapala et al.”
Soil fauna feeding activity in temperate grassland soils increases with legume and grass species richness (2011, background): “Bacterial-feeding nematodes, for example, were significantly more abundant in the presence of legume and grass species, compared to herb dominated experimental patches (see also Viketoft et al., 2005; Wardle, 2005).”
Effects of monoculture and mixed culture of grass and legume forage species on soil microbial community structure under different levels of nitrogen fertilization (2015, background): “For example, the presence of legumes increased soil microbial biomass and activity in a semi-natural grassland in central Germany [17] and in a greenhouse experiment [18], the abundance of bacterivorous nematodes in grasslands in northern Sweden [19,20], the abundance of mites and omnivorous and pre”
