Defoliation and patchy nutrient return drive grazing effects on plant and soil properties in a dairy cow pasture (2009, background): “…on soil microfauna (nematodes in our study) to be mostly explained by defoliation and dung and urine return, as these microscopic animals are closely associated with plant roots (Griffiths 1994) and can readily respond to changes in plant growth and resource allocation (Mikola et al. 2001, 2005b).”
Carbon fluxes in soil food webs of increasing complexity revealed by 14C labelling and 13C natural abundance (2006, background): “Although the experimental background on food webs especially in complex systems is still weak, various soil organisms use the three C sources to differing extents (Setälä et al., 1998; Mikola and Setälä, 1999; Mikola et al., 2001).”

A temporal approach to linking aboveground and belowground ecology. (2005, background): “It has been shown that foliar [16,17] and root [18] herbivory lead to short-term pulses in root exudation, stimulating the biomass and activity of microbes [17,19] and the abundance of their faunal consumers [ 20 ,21].”
Herbivore-mediated linkages between aboveground and belowground communities (2003, background): “These facilitating effects of herbivory on rhizosphere microbes, and presumably higher level consumers in the soil food-web (Mikola et al. 2001a), have been shown to positively feedback on soil N availability, plant N acquisition, leaf N content , and photosynthesis of a grazing tolerant grass (Poa…”
