Mesocosm Experiments as a Tool for Ecological Climate-Change Research (2013, background): “Building on thework of Schneider et al. (2004) and Pollierer et al. (2009), Perdomo et al. (2012) characterised a complex moss–microarthropod food web.”
Distribution patterns of soil microbial eukaryotes suggests widespread algivory by phagotrophic protists as an alternative pathway for nutrient cycling (2017, background): “Recent studies focusing on soil invertebrates have also questioned the origin of the carbon source feeding the soil communities, suggesting that very few soil invertebrates depend on litter (Pollierer et al., 2009) and suggesting that soil algae represent a functionally relevant source of soil carbo”
