The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

The response of decomposers (earthworms, springtails and microorganisms) to variations in species and functional group diversity of plants (2006, background): “Consistently, species of the genus Protaphorura have been reported previously to benefit from an increase in species diversity in a field experiment (Salamon et al. 2004).”
Effects of plant diversity on plant biomass production and soil macrofauna in Amazonian pastures (2008, result): “Our results are consistent with those of Gastine et al. (2003b) and Salamon et al. (2004) who showed that earthworm and collembolan diversities, respectively, increased significantly in the presence of legumes.”
Relationship between vegetation diversity and soil functional diversity in native mixed-oak forests (2008, background): “Lately, an increasing number of reports are appearing in the literature on the relationship between vegetation structure and the activity and diversity of soil biota (Johnson et al., 2003; Porazinska et al., 2003; De Deyn et al., 2004; Salamon et al., 2004).”
Plant species richness drives the density and diversity of Collembola in temperate grassland (2011, background): “, 2005) and root biomass (Salamon et al., 2004) in more diverse plant communities may increase the availability of food resources for Collembola (Finlay, 1985).”
