Rhizosphere fauna: the functional and structural diversity of intimate interactions of soil fauna with plant roots (2009, unknown): “Roots grew longer and thinner and had more root tips in presence of Collembola.”
The fat that matters: Soil food web analysis using fatty acids and their carbon stable isotope signature (2010, methodology): “Isotopic pulselabelling of plants has also been used to examine C transfer to soil decomposer with SIP applied to microbial PLFAs and bulk SIA to animals (Ostle et al., 2007; Ladygina et al., 2008).”
Soil fauna and soil functions: a jigsaw puzzle (2014, background): “Similarly, despite the greater dominance of macrofauna (earthworms) in an upland organic grassland, was the mesofauna (mites and collembolans), representing only 3% of the total biomass, the group responsible for processing the majority of the recent photosynthesized carbon (Ostle et al., 2007).”
From peds to paradoxes: linkages between soil biota and their influences on ecological processes. (2008, methodology): “In a 13CO2 pulse-chase experiment, followed by sampling of soil mesofauna over the next 20 days, Ostle et al. (2007) measured a significant increase in tracer 13C uptake by both collembolans and mites.”
Connecting the green and brown worlds . allometric and stoichiometric predictability of above- and below-ground networks (2013, background): “…carbohydrates, allocated to different plant tissues and transferred to the soil via root respiration, exudation, mycorrhizae, endophytes and herbivory (Bahn et al., 2010, 2013; Brüggemann et al., 2011; Denef et al., 2009; Epron et al., 2012; Jones et al., 2009; Ostle et al., 2007).”
Small but active – pool size does not matter for carbon incorporation in below‐ground food webs (2016, background): “…13C enrichment in P. armata, the most abundant Collembola species at our study site (N. Scheunemann, pers. comm.) confirms earlier results reporting Collembola to incorporate more 13C than macro- fauna (Ostle et al. 2007; Murray et al. 2009), with a signal corresponding to fungal-feeding nematodes.”
Rapid transfer of photosynthetic carbon through the plant-soil system in differently managed species-rich grasslands (2011, unknown): “This was achieved in a long-term diversity manipulation experiment in northern England (Smith et al., 2003, 2008) using an in situ13C-CO2 pulse-chase labelling technique (Ostle et al., 2003, 2007).”
