Soil multitrophic interactions transfer energy from plants as the predominant primary
producer to communities of organisms that occupy different positions in the food chain and …

Soil bacteria and fungi mediate terrestrial biogeochemical cycling, but we know relatively
little about how trophic interactions influence their community composition, diversity, and …

Ulrich Brose Body size is recognized as an important determinant of trophic structure as it
affects individual energetic demands, population density, and the interaction between …

Positive biodiversity-ecosystem functioning relationships are generally attributed to two
mechanisms: complementarity and selection. These mechanisms have been primarily …

Top‐down control has been extensively documented in food webs based on living plants,
where predator limitation of herbivores can cascade to facilitate plant growth (the green …

Plant communities and soil microbiomes play a crucial role in regulating ecosystem
multifunctionality (EMF). However, whether and how aboveground plant diversity …

В книге обобщены и систематизированы результаты многолетних исследований
планктонных микробных трофических сетей морских, пресноводных и …

Studies on the effects of biodiversity on ecosystem functioning have generally revealed a
positive asymptotic relationship between biodiversity and single functions, suggesting …

The density mass–relationship (DMR) between abundance and body size is a key attribute
of biodiversity organisation. The identification of the determinants of the DMR has …

Leaf and root litter decomposition has been a major research focus. However, the possible
effects of belowground microbial community structure and diversity on this process are …
