Macro-invertebrates accelerate litter decomposition and nutrient release in a Hawaiian rainforest (2011, background): “Millipedes in other ecosystems fragment litter and increase decomposition rates by increasing the surface area available to microbes (Snyder and Hendrix, 2008).”
Biological soil quality indicators: a review (2010, background): “Biological indicators also include properties associated with biological activity on organic matter, such as microbial biomass carbon (32) and soil respiration (17, 33); they also include various indices such as abundance, diversity, food chains, stability of communities (10), and organisms associat”
Effects of vegetation structure and floristic diversity on detritivore, herbivore and predatory invertebrates within calcareous grasslands (2009, background): “It is likely, however, that some predatory species would have fed on other components of the detritivore assemblage likely to be correlated with the abundances of these two detritivore taxa, e.g. collembola ( Snyder and Hendrix 2008 ).”
