- Local vs. landscape controls on diversity: a test using surface-dwelling soil macroinvertebrates of differing mobility (2005, background): “Though information concerning this issue is still sparse for soil macroarthropods other than carabids (e.g. Kinnunen et al ., 1996; Niemelä, 2001; Wolters, 2001), this has been proven for various other taxa such as pollinators (Weibull et al ., 2000; Steffan-Dewenter et al ., 2002; Hirsch et al .,…”
- Interactions between microplastics and soil fauna: A critical review (2021, background): “These diverse soil fauna play important roles in soil food webs, and contribute directly and indirectly to ecosystem functioning processes, such as litter decomposition, nutrient cycling, and energy flow (Hole, 1981; Wolters, 2001).”
- Searching for unifying principles in soil ecology (2009, background): “Functional redundancy is also exhibited by soil invertebrate communities and is often linked to physiological traits such as body size, mode of movement and gut enzyme composition (Siepel and Maaskamp, 1994; Wolters, 2001; Berg et al., 2004).”
- Nematodes as soil indicators: functional and biodiversity aspects (2003, background): “Wolters (2001) has described how those ecosystem processes that are distributed discontinuously across a broad suite of organisms may persist after species are lost but ecosystem traits discontinuously distributed among a few species will be very sensitive to species loss.”
- Soil fauna feeding activity in temperate grassland soils increases with legume and grass species richness (2011, background): “Soil biota play an important functional role in grassland ecosystems by affecting various processes such as decomposition of dead organic matter (Bardgett and Cook, 1998; Wolters, 2001), nutrient mineralization (Verhoeff and Brussaard, 1990) and primary production (Curry, 1987).”
- Soil fauna and soil functions: a jigsaw puzzle (2014, background): “If we accept that not every species in the soil has the same importance for ecosystem functioning, we could also argue that perhaps the members of the same species might also not be identical and hence, they might not have the same function in the soil (Lavelle et al., 1997; Wolters, 2001).”
- The values of soil animals for conservation biology (2006, background): “Despite the general agreement about the ecological importance of soil fauna and its economic consequences, the absence of concern about this group from conservationists in their studies is conspicuous [129].”
- Current use of and future needs for soil invertebrate functional traits in community ecology (2014, background): “The soil fauna encompasses both the obligate 123 and facultative inhabitants of soil and soil annexes (Wolters 2001).”
- Functional traits as indicators of biodiversity response to land use changes across ecosystems and organisms (2010, background): “Despite their abundance, diversity and functional role in soils (Hopkin 1997; Wolters 2001), a trait-based approach was not explicitly used for indication purposes until recently.”
- Nutrient Dynamics (2004, background): “biodiversity of organisms and, consequently, into a high level of complexity and functional redundancy (Wolters, 2001).”
