Light, earthworms, and soil resources as predictors of diversity of 10 soil invertebrate groups across monocultures of 14 tree species (2016, unknown): “Up to the present, even the more comprehensive surveys of soil organisms (e.g. van der Wal et al., 2009; Scherber et al., 2010; Postma-Blaauw et al., 2012) typically survey less than half of the taxonomic groups (families, orders, or classes) that represent common types of soil invertebrates…”

The impact of agricultural practices on soil biota: A regional study (2013, background): “…to a so great extent, crop fields 14 being, at least from the point of view of soil biota, nothing else than an impoverished variant of 15 meadows (PostmaŔBlaauw et al., 2012), and (ii)soil biodiversity of agroecosystemsmay recover 16 rapidly once main stress factors (lack of plant cover and soil…”
