Beyond microbes: Are fauna the next frontier in soil biogeochemical models? (2016, background): “These functions include shredding and redistributing litter, altering soil physical properties including aggregation and pore space structure, microbivory, and accelerating nutrient cycling in soil and litter (Verhoef and Brussaard, 1990; Brussaard et al., 2007; Coleman, 2008).”
Small but active – pool size does not matter for carbon incorporation in below‐ground food webs (2016, background): “However, as soil food webs are highly complex, our knowledge on structure and function is still limited, as mirrored by Coleman (2008) questioning whether there are enough trophic niches for the high number of species in soil.”
The oribatid mite Scheloribates moestus (Acari: Oribatida) alters litter chemistry and nutrient cycling during decomposition (2011, background): “The soil fauna consists of an array of species that collectively have a profound influence on ecosystem processes, including decomposition and nutrient cycling (Wolters, 2000; Coleman, 2008; Ekschmitt et al., 2008).”
Light, earthworms, and soil resources as predictors of diversity of 10 soil invertebrate groups across monocultures of 14 tree species (2016, background): “As the diversity of resources increases, diversity of soil animals is expected to rise due to enhanced opportunities for niche differentiation with respect to habitat use and sources of energy and nutrients (Anderson, 1978; Wardle, 2006; Coleman, 2008).”
Root, mycorrhiza and earthworm interactions: their effects on soil structuring processes, plant and soil nutrient concentration and plant biomass (2009, background): “Belowground communities include a large variety of organisms showing highly complex interactions across trophic or non-trophic groups (Coleman 2008).”
Linear and non-linear impacts of a non-native plant invasion on soil microbial community structure and function (2011, background): “…from a higher to lower fungal PLFA:bacterial PLFA ratio, as seen in this study after addition of Berberis litter, may indicate a shift from a relatively closedcycle, oligotrophic food web to a relatively more open, rapid-cycling food web (Bardgett et al. 1999; Coleman 2008; Cotrufo et al. 2009).”
Soil organisms and global climate change (2011, background): “In addition to indirect effects on soil organisms caused by invasive plant species, environmental changes may also directly increase the potential for dispersal of soil organisms (Coleman, 2008; Pariaud et al., 2009).”
