The decomposition of litter and the supply of nutrients into and from the soil are two fundamental processes through which the above‐ and belowground world interact. Microbial biodiversity, and especially that of decomposers, plays a key role in these processes by helping litter decomposition. Yet the relative contribution of litter diversity and soil biodiversity in supporting multiple ecosystem...
Soil biota influences nutrient cycling and climate regulation and represents an important fraction of global biodiversity, yet we know very little about how this soil biota responds to habitat fragmentation and degradation of habitat quality.
We studied the response of different soil trophic groups (microbes and soil fauna), and their trophic structure, to changes in their habitat derived from...
