Influences of evergreen gymnosperm and deciduous angiosperm tree species on the functioning of temperate and boreal forests
It has been recognized for a long time that the overstorey composition of a forest partly
determines its biological and physical–chemical functioning. Here, we review evidence of …

Regulation of soil organic matter dynamics and microbial activityin the drilosphere and the role of interactionswith other edaphic functional domains
The moment the soil enters into contact with an earthworm, both superficially and internally,
physicochemical and biological changes take place. The drilosphere represents the whole …

Global distribution of earthworm diversity
Soil organisms, including earthworms, are a key component of terrestrial ecosystems.
However, little is known about their diversity, their distribution, and the threats affecting them …

Conventional tillage decreases the abundance and biomass of earthworms and alters their community structure in a global meta‐analysis
MJI Briones, O Schmidt - Global change biology, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
The adoption of less intensive soil cultivation practices is expected to increase earthworm
populations and their contributions to ecosystem functioning. However, conflicting results …

Is the climate change mitigation effect of enhanced silicate weathering governed by biological processes?
A number of negative emission technologies (NETs) have been proposed to actively remove
CO2 from the atmosphere, with enhanced silicate weathering (ESW) as a relatively new NET …

Decomposition in tropical forests: a pan‐tropical study of the effects of litter type, litter placement and mesofaunal exclusion across a precipitation gradient
Summary 1 Litter decomposition recycles nutrients and causes large fluxes of carbon
