Soil health is intimately intertwined with ecosystem services. Climate change negatively
impacts ecosystem functioning, by altering carbon and nitrogen biogeochemical cycles and …

The health and functioning of soil ecosystems are the foundation of sustainable food
production and land management. Of key importance in achieving sustainability, is the …

Plants act as ecosystem engineers playing fundamental roles in steering their surroundings,
including soil abiotic and biotic conditions, soil organisms, and the complex soil food web …

During a survey on soil nematode diversity, the soil samples were collected from Field-1 (3-
months-not-used land), Field-2 (5-years-not-disturbed land), Field-3 (the rhizosphere of …

The medium-term impact of the application of a pine gasification biochar at low and high
rates (5 and 30 tons ha− 1) on nematode communities was assessed in outdoor mesocosms …

Increasing dryland cropping intensity by integrating cover crops into crop-fallow rotations
can add diversity and alter soil ecosystem functions, including improvements in soil nutrient …

Plant productivity, decomposition and nutrient cycling are controlled by plant-soil-biota
interactions. However, it remains poorly understood how plant species diversity impacts …

Nature conservation policy is mainly concerned with aboveground terrestrial species and
soil biodiversity has been largely ignored, resulting in a lack of information about the …

Soil food webs, which are responsible for relevant ecological functions in agroecosystems
such as nutrient cycling and pest and disease suppression, represent a crucial aspect of …

Body size is closely related to the trophic level and abundance of soil fauna, particularly
nematodes. Therefore, size-based analyses are increasingly prominent in unveiling soil …
