Bacterial traits, organism mass, and numerical abundance in the detrital soil food web of Dutch agricultural grasslands (2004, unknown): “The enchytraeids M was estimated from regression equations of fresh weight on length, further assuming that the ratio of dry weight to fresh weight was 0.18 ( Berg et al. 2001 ).”
C and N mineralisation in the decomposer food webs of a European forest transect (2003, background): “Bacterial immobilisation of N was also found in the organic layers of a pine forest (Berg et al. 2001).”
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.”
Assessment of soil contamination – a functional perspective (2004, background): “This approach is also taken in food-web ecology, in which species are classified in so-called functional groups, before their effect on an ecosystem process is evaluated (De Ruiter et al. 1995; Berg et al. 2001).”
Carbon fluxes in soil food webs of increasing complexity revealed by 14C labelling and 13C natural abundance (2006, background): “There is also direct feeding of soil organisms on living plant tissue of roots and shoots, but quantitatively this C source is generally thought to be of minor importance (Berg et al., 2001).”
An integrated perspective to explain nitrogen mineralization in grazed ecosystems (2013, background): “…the body size of soil fauna nd physically protect many food sources for soil organisms, which lso contributes to a reduction in N mineralization (Verhoef and russaard, 1990; Breland and Hansen, 1996; Bouwman and Arts, 000; Berg et al., 2001; Osler and Sommerkorn, 2007; Sorensen t al., 2009).”
Towards an assessment of multiple ecosystem processes and services via functional traits (2010, background): “Examples showing strong associations between traits from different types of organism in controlling a range of processes and services are accumulating (Berg et al. 2001; Wall 2004; Kremen et al. 2007), especially for traits of plants and soil organisms that underlie nutrient cycling, herbivory, and ”
The oribatid mite Scheloribates moestus (Acari: Oribatida) alters litter chemistry and nutrient cycling during decomposition (2011, background): “Previous estimates suggest that the entire mesofaunal community directly accounts for approximately 5% of the CO2 released from soil during decomposition and mathematical models predict that oribatids should have little impact onmicrobial C mineralization (Berg et al., 2001).”
