Conceptualizing soil fauna effects on labile and stabilized soil organic matter
Fauna is highly abundant and diverse in soils worldwide, but surprisingly little is known
about how it affects soil organic matter stabilization. Here, we review how the ecological …

Soil functional biodiversity and biological quality under threat: Intensive land use outweighs climate change
Climate change and land use intensification are the two most common global change
drivers of biodiversity loss. Like other organisms, the soil meso-fauna are expected to modify …

Climate change and intensive land use reduce soil animal biomass via dissimilar pathways
Global change drivers, such as climate change and land use, may profoundly influence
body size, density, and biomass of soil organisms. However, it is still unclear how these …
