• Rapid effects of plant species diversity and identity on soil microbial communities in experimental grassland ecosystems (2006, background): “Missing correlation between AWCD (or H0) and N biomass and microbial respiration confirms that these two parameters measure different aspects of microbial activity (Dauber and Wolters, 2000).”
• Soil invertebrates as ecosystem engineers: Intended and accidental effects on soil and feedback loops (2006, background): “release of mineral nutrients such as ammonium and nitrate (e.g., Abbadie and Lepage, 1989; Brauman et al., 2000; Dauber and Wolters, 2000; Dauber et al., 2001; Petal et al., 2003).”
• Size does matter – effects of tropical rainforest fragmentation on the leaf litter ant community in Sabah, Malaysia (2003, background): “Worldwide, they possibly turn and enrich more soil than earthworms (Wilson 2000), thereby promoting the mineralisation of nutrients (Gunadi and Verhoef 1993) and furthering microbial activity in the soil ( Dauber and Wolters 2000 ).”
• Methods for evaluating human impact on soil microorganisms based on their activity, biomass, and diversity in agricultural soils (2006, background): “, 2001; Fließbach and Mäder, 2004; Winding et al, 2005), despite some critical remarks (Smalla et al., 1998; Dauber and Wolters, 2000).”
• Invertebrate control of soil organic matter stability (2000, unknown): “Accompanying alterations in decomposition rates (Culver and Beattie 1983; Petal and Kusinska 1994) and in the functional structure of microbial communities (Dauber and Wolters 1999) have been observed.”
• Development of harvester ant colonies alters soil chemistry (2004, background): “In addition, elements of the soil biota have been reported to be more abundant and functionally diverse in ant nests (Wagner et al., 1997; Dauber and Wolters, 2000).”
