Fungivorous nematodes drive microbial diversity and carbon cycling in soil
Soil bacteria and fungi mediate terrestrial biogeochemical cycling, but we know relatively
little about how trophic interactions influence their community composition, diversity, and …

Differences in fungal and bacterial physiology alter soil carbon and nitrogen cycling: insights from meta‐analysis and theoretical models
Since fungi and bacteria are the dominant decomposers in soil, their distinct physiologies
are likely to differentially influence rates of ecosystem carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) cycling …

Plant diversity, soil microbial communities, and ecosystem function: are there any links?
DR Zak, WE Holmes, DC White, AD Peacock… - Ecology, 2003 - Wiley Online Library
A current debate in ecology centers on the extent to which ecosystem function depends on
biodiversity. Here, we provide evidence from a long‐term field manipulation of plant diversity …
