Understanding and Enhancing Soil Biological Health: The Solution for Reversing Soil Degradation (2015, background): “In recent publications, biodiversity was also shown to influence global C [65] and greenhouse gas budgets [66], enhance water quality [67], moderate soil organic matter decomposition [68,69], regulate nutrient retention and availability [69], and determine the susceptibility of soil to invasion by a”
Seasonal differences in tree species influence on soil microbial communities (2013, background): “Additionally, litter quality measures, such as the amount of nutrients and tissue structure, as well as the relative proportions of C and N compounds of different decomposability, such as protein and lignin, vary between broadleaf tree species (Jacob et al., 2009; Gessner et al., 2010).”
Litter diversity, fungal decomposers and litter decomposition under simulated stream intermittency (2011, background): “2010; Lecerf & Richardson 2010), the significance of litter diversity for decomposition has not been resolved (Gessner et al. 2010).”
Global patterns of stream detritivore distribution: implications for biodiversity loss in changing climates (2012, background): “Also of great ecological significance can be the number of species within particular guilds or trophic levels (Gessner et al., 2010).”
