Belowground community responses to fire: meta-analysis reveals contrasting responses of soil microorganisms and mesofauna (2018, background): “Soil fauna are recognized as important mediators of belowground biogeochemical cycling (Wardle et al. 2004, Wall 2012), and both trophic (Moore et al. 1988) and non-trophic (DeAngelis 2016, Eisenhauer 2010) A cc ep te d A rt ic le ‘This article is protected by copyright.”
