The Ecology of Soil Carbon: Pools, Vulnerabilities, and Biotic and Abiotic Controls (2017, background): “Soil fauna communities are often diverse, and these organisms form complex food webs in the soil (Figure 1) that include termites, mites, nematodes, arthropods, rotifers, collembolans, isopods, ants, spiders, and earthworms (Wolters 2000).”
The impact of agricultural practices on soil biota: A regional study (2013, background): “…et al., 2007; Van der 4 Heijden et al., 2008; Murray et al., 2009), building and control of soil organic matter (SOM) or soil 5 physical structure (Wolters, 2000; Jégou et al., 2001; Jouquet et al., 2006), and vegetation dynamics 6 (De Deyn et al., 2003; Mitschunas et al., 2006; Forey et al.,…”
Trophic transfer of fatty acids from gut microbiota to the earthworm Lumbricus terrestris L (2006, background): “Earthworms are well known for their proximate effects on soil respiration, organic matter decomposition and water infiltration, and for their contribution to large-scale soil processes such as soil fertility and pedogenesis (e.g. Edwards and Bohlen, 1996; Domı́nguez et al., 2004; Wolters, 2000).”
Macrofauna invertebrada do solo sob diferentes sistemas de produção em Latossolo da Região do Cerrado (2006, background): “…os maiores invertebrados (organismos com mais que 10 mm de comprimento ou com mais de 2 mm de diâmetro corporal), como minhocas, coleópteros em estado larval e adulto, centopéias, cupins, formigas, piolhos de cobra (milipéias), tatuzinhos e aracnídeos (Wolters, 2000; Lavelle & Spain, 2001).”
Functional role of microarthropods in soil aggregation (2015, background): “This is surprising given that 59 these animals can occur at high densities,and given their role in the processing of 60 organic matter via chemical, physical and biological mechanisms (Lee and Foster, 61 1991; Wolters, 2000).”
The role of litter-feeding macroarthropods in decomposition processes: A reappraisal of common views (2014, background): “However, despite the relatively small contribution of invertebrates to soil respiration, their indirect effects on decomposition through interactions with microorganisms may be considerable (Visser, 1985; Wolters, 2000; Wardle, 2002; Crowther et al., 2012).”
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).”
