Assessing the resilience of polar biota to climate change is essential for predicting the
effects of changing environmental conditions for ecosystems. Collembola are abundant in …

This study examined the effects of micro-scale, site and 19 and 21 years of experimental
warming on Collembola in three contrasting alpine subarctic plant communities (poor heath …

Collembola are an important component of montane arthropod communities worldwide,
where they are often the most abundant and active group. In Australia, montane ecosystems …

Climate change is expected to impact the global distribution and diversity of arthropods, with
warmer temperatures forcing species to relocate, acclimate, adapt, or go extinct. The Arctic …

Ecosystems at high northern latitudes are subject to strong climate change. Soil processes,
such as carbon and nutrient cycles, which determine the functioning of these ecosystems …

The Antarctic climate-diversity-invasion hypothesis (ACDI) predicts that in Antarctic soil
systems, climate change should lead to increases in the abundance and diversity of …

The Arctic has a diverse terrestrial microarthropod fauna which overwinters in situ in soil and
vegetation. This fauna is involved in key ecosystem processes, for example decomposition …

Although direct contributions of soil invertebrates to carbon turnover are modest, they have a
disproportionally large indirect impact through their control over the activity of microbial …

Biodiversity loss has increased globally in recent years. The major threat to Antarctica's
unique terrestrial biodiversity is the establishment of non‐native species. Nonetheless, while …

Soil ecosystems, and the fauna they host, are known to provide many services and
communities of Collembola can be used as bioindicators of soil functionality. Climate …
