Biological measurements in a nationwide soil monitoring network (2009, methodology): “It was regarded as the best option to perform sampling in the spring (from March to June), because the soil ecosystem in the Netherlands is then active and not too vulnerable to dry or wet periods (Mulder et al., 2003).”
Numerical abundance and biodiversity of below‐ground taxocenes along a pH gradient across the Netherlands (2005, background): “Although basic concepts in soil ecology such as bacterial populations, fungal mycelium, nematofauna and arthropod assemblages sound so different, if defined as taxocenes they all share the same sensitivity to soil pH (and to a much lesser extent, to the Julian Day, or to the average of the latest 21”
The effects of organic agriculture on biodiversity and abundance: a meta‐analysis (2005, result): “2003; Mulder et al. 2003), although, as in our analysis, there are exceptions (Shah et al. 2003).”
Cattle grazing increases microbial biomass and alters soil nematode communities in subtropical pastures (2006, result): “Our observation that herbivores were lower in grazed plots whenever significant differences between treatments occurred, was consistent with results reported in several other studies (King and Hutchinson, 1976, 1983; Todd, 1996; Mulder et al., 2003) suggesting that heavy grazing was detrimental to h”
Effects of agricultural management on nematode–mite assemblages: Soil food web indices as predictors of mite community composition (2009, background): “Organic systems generally sustain higher N mineralization rates (Forge and Simard, 2001), enhanced soil fertility, higher biodiversity and greater bacterial biomass than conventional farms (Mäder et al., 2002; Mulder et al., 2003; van Diepeningen et al., 2006).”
Relation between Soil Health, Wave-like Fluctuations in Microbial Populations, and Soil-borne Plant Disease Management (2006, background): “…et al., 1995; Mäder et al., 2002; van Diepeningen et al., 2005), arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (Ryan et al., 1994; Oehl et al., 2003), nematodes (Mulder et al., 2003; van Diepeningen et al., 2005), earthworms (Mäder et al., 2002), and arthropods (Drinkwater et al., 1995; Mäder et al., 2002).”
Soil acidity, ecological stoichiometry and allometric scaling in grassland food webs (2009, background): “Nematodes were identified by light microscopy at 400–600 (Mulder et al., 2003, 2005b).”
Soil microbial diversity and activity linked to crop yield and quality in a dryland organic wheat production system (2016, background): “While some studies have reported bacterial abundance to be higher in organically-managed soils (Mulder et al., 2003; Van Diepeningen et al., 2006), others have found bacterial abundance to be less sensitive to management practices than fungal abundance (Yeates et al., 1997).”
